About this product
Product Information
Teacher education is under more scrutiny than ever as standards-based education is becoming more and more the norm. Although much literature is available that addresses developing teacher education, no one addresses how to create and develop a master's level program. Gary R. Galluzzo, Joan Packer Isenberg, C. Stephen White, and Rebecca K. Fox, professors at the highly regarded Graduate School of Education at George Mason University, present a text to help deans and other professionals develop a master's level degree program that meets the standards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. The various sections explain in depth the facets of the program's design, including how to qualify future students answering the call by the National Board, provide researched evidence around Advanced Studies in Teaching and Learning, and lastly, explore what will become the new standards of accountability for teacher education. Using their own experience as they reconceived their own program for a master's degree for practicing teachers, the authors provide first-hand accounts of their own expectations, outcomes, and continual dilemmas to inspire more discussion how teacher education can improve the quality of teaching in America's schools.

I love this book! The Master's degree in education, long attached to teacher salary schedules and required for tenure, has been a wasteland in teacher professional development. Content has remained static and conceptions and practices have remained unexamined. The ASTL program designed and described by George Mason faculty, grounded in the National Board's conception of an accomplished teacher, is a fresh and genuinely 21st century book about how the pedagogical and content skills of beginning teachers should be developed. Key components of the program, such as a cohort approach, campus-wide commitments to teacher education, and partnerships with local schools challenge traditional thinking about the Master's degree and provide us with critical new insights about new roles for higher education faculty and public school faculty in the quest to develop accomplished teachers teacher., A must read for anyone interested in reconceptualizing a Master's degree in education that supports effective teaching. The authors address the criticism of traditional master's degrees in education by giving new life to the degree, grounded in what teachers know and can do, how they learn, and how they can lead from the classroom. This book offers valuable lessons from one university's journey to create a meaningful masters degree in education that positively impacts teachers and students., Galluzzo, Isenberg, Fox, and White have provided teacher educators with a window into the process of changing master's degree education. It isn't often that teacher educators get so clear a picture of the process of change over time. What makes this book unique is the honesty with which the authors address their work over time and the clear model of thoughtful collaboration they provide., Let me state up front that this is a marvelous book. The chapters read like a novel, and a genuine page turner at that. The book is a compelling documentation of how the School of Education at George Mason has responded to the (more often than not) justified criticism of teacher education programs. Any education dean who is serious about revitalizing teacher education would be well advised to read this book.To be sure, the challenges facing schools of education are challenging indeed. Not only must they overcome the internal inertia that characterizes most organizations, but they face the uphill battle of enlisting the cooperation of the larger university that has for years viewed them as ineffective, hapless and incompetent. The Advanced Studies in Teaching and Learning (ASTL) team at George Mason faced these same problems... and handled them with forbearance and skill.One crucial element of the approach taken by George Mason was the decision early on to use the work of the NCTAF Commission and the National Board's five core propositions (supplemented by three of their own) to guide their efforts. The resulting eight propositions served as a filter through which to gauge all of their subsequent decisions, whether structural, substantive, or strategic. This gave the ASTL project a vision, a goal-in-view, and a coherence that it would probably otherwise not have. The book is also extraordinarily thorough. The authors describe in great detail the challenges they faced in the design, implementation, monitoring and overall evaluation of the new program. Significantly, the authors note that George Mason is determined to avoid the smugness that so often accompanies success. In the concluding chapter, "Looking Back and Looking Ahead," the authors describes how program faculty are continually searching for ways to improved the program by, for example, surveying program graduates for their opinions on what helped them most and what they feel is needed.In summary, this is a clearly written, well documented, and altogether excellent account of how one university has responded to one of the nation's most pressing challenges -- preparing teachers to educate students for the 21st century., Galluzzo, Isenberg, Fox, and White have provided teacher educators with a window into the process of changing master's degree education.
