Burbach, Harold J.; LaFluer, N. Kenneth

Action in Teacher Education, v23 n2 p50-57 Sum 2001

Discusses the future of schools, colleges, and departments of education, identifying possible threats to traditional teacher and administrator preparation and continuing education, offering a list of discussion points for rethinking the future of these programs, and suggesting that these challenges can best be met with a mindset tinged with "a little paranoia" as opposed to apathy, defensiveness, or smugness.
