This is a wonderful idea, but often reality is very different
from theory.
Most teacher preparation courses tend to be book oriented and
do not really
prepare teachers for the problems in class.

When and where did you take your teacher ed courses?

The reason I ask is because I also was disappointed with my teacher prep
courses, which I took 15 years ago at Temple. However, both the coursework
and the faculty have changed a great deal since then. I teach a teacher
prep course and, of course, I try not to repeat the failures of the teacher
prep courses I took.

P.S. I assume you have also taught teacher ed courses, no? How successful
were you at teaching it "the right way"?
