Abstract

There is little doubt that leading institutions of higher education feel they must do something to improve the standards of teacher education. This is not the only group that feels so obliged, but the term" leading institutions" implies a special mission. For convenience I shall construe such institutions as modem universities housing undergraduate programs in the academic disciplines for general education, graduate programs for academic specialists, and professional schools. A College of Education on such a campus is caught between demands from scholars in the disciplines and the well-established professions on the one hand and the demands of the public schools and classroom teachers on the other. As matters now stand, colleges of education seem to satisfy neither. Can they hope to do both? Should they try?
