| Summary: | "David F. Labaree explains how the poor reputation of the ed school has had important repercussions, shaping the quality of its programs, the kinds of students and faculty that it can recruit, and the university and public response to the knowledge if offers. He notes the special problems faced by ed schools as they prepare teachers and produce educational research and researchers. And he looks at the consequences of the ed school's ill-advised attachment to educational progressivism. Throughout these discussions, Labaree maintains an ambivalent position toward the education school - admiring its dedication to pedagogical and intellectual aims and decrying its mediocrity, its romantic rhetoric, and its compliance with the role assigned to it."--BOOK JACKET. |
