What Matters Most: A Competent Teacher for Every Child.
Darling-Hammond, Linda
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n3 p193-200 Nov 1996
The National Commission on Teaching and America's Future concluded that reforming education hinges on restructuring the teaching profession. Major barriers include inadequate teacher education, slipshod recruitment, haphazard hiring and induction, inadequate professional development and recognition, and failure-prone schools. The commission recommends establishing higher standards for teacher education, recruitment, and development. (16 references) (MLH)
