In this compelling and timely collection, Eric Wearne and a group
of diverse contributors make the case for a new approach to teacher
preparation and certification, in which institutions are empowered
to educate, prepare, certify, hire, and develop teachers who have
been prepared by different educational traditions. In the first
section, contributors offer a background in history, policy, and
economics to argue the need for more creativity in teacher
preparation. In the second section, Wearne and contributors
showcase how a variety of different, creative educational
organizations have prepared teachers more clearly-suited to their
specific school models—from Montessori teacher preparation, to
teaching online, to teaching in classical schools. Overall, this
collection prompts those involved in teacher preparation to work to
find creative solutions for improving teacher education,
certification, and hiring, and is relevant for scholars,
policymakers, educators, and administrators working in or studying
teacher education programs.
Defining Hybrid Homeschools in America: Little Platoons explores
the idea of hybrid homeschools, where students attend a formal
school setting for part of the week and are homeschooled the rest
of the week. Eric Wearne observes that school choice in America
typically comes in two forms: programs set up for disadvantaged
students, and the more common form of choice that wealthy parents
can exercise-paying private tuition or moving to a more desirable
school district. While disadvantaged families in many places and
wealthy families everywhere can exercise choice when it comes to
schooling, a sizeable group typically gets left out of those
options-the large number of families who are too wealthy to access
state or local programs, but not wealthy enough to pay for private
schooling or moving expenses. Wearne argues that this is a
long-term weakness for school choice in America; the middle class
is generally a well-off demographic, but is almost completely
unserved when it comes to this large aspect of their children's
lives. However, one low-cost option has arisen to address this
niche: hybrid home schools. Wearne cites existing research to argue
for this model's efficacy for the middle class as a strong example
of a healthy civil society and examines how policy definitions are
breaking down and evolving in education as we challenge the
existing definitions of schooling.
