The Political Project of Tomorrow's Teachers.

Cherryholmes, Cleo H.

Social Education, v51 n7 p501-05 Nov-Dec 1987

Analyzes the historical context, arguments, and evidence of the Holmes Group report. Maintains that the report reflects the conservative political climate of the 1980s and is unsupported, ambiguous, and contradictory in areas. Concludes that the report's silence on the substance of teacher education highlights its political purpose of policing the teaching profession. (DH)
