		<description><![CDATA[Profession or Craft? A philosophical issue in schools of education is whether or not teaching is a profession or craft.  The difference is significant.  Either teaching is primarily a profession, defined by the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language as “an occupation, such as law, medicine, or engineering, that requires considerable training and specialized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Need for High Quality Host Teachers When we place teacher candidates into the field, whether for an early field experience or for their student teaching experience, we do so knowing that the teacher candidate is going to look toward the host teacher for guidance and expertise.  Because of this relationship, it is critical to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gaps As I mentioned in my last post, teacher education programs have historically been experiential in nature.   Programs, however, also present content of theory and craft to the aspiring teacher through the college classroom setting.  This raises the question of instructional practice in the college classroom.  In the literature discussing the future of teacher education, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modeling in teacher education In the history of student teaching, experience has been at its crux.  From the apprenticeships of the Middle Ages to today’s early field experiences and student teaching, instruction of how to teach has been through a social learning environment (Johnson, 1968).  It is designed with the student observing and modeling the [...]]]></description>
