Under the No Child Left Behind Act, states will have to ensure that every public school classroom is staffed by a highly qualified teacher. This mandate--and the fact that many children, especially low-income and minority students, are taught by underqualified teachers ill-equipped for the challenges ahead--gives new urgency to debates over teacher recruitment, preparation, and induction.

Under the No Child Left Behind Act, states will have to ensure that every public school classroom is staffed by a highly qualified teacher. This mandate--and the fact that many children, especially low-income and minority students, are taught by underqualified teachers ill-equipped for the challenges ahead--gives new urgency to debates over teacher recruitment, preparation, and induction. In this volume, an array of contributors with rich experience in policy and teaching take a fresh look at a number of issues, including: * Current systems for preparing and licensing teachers, and how they affect the quality and supply of teachers in the work force; * An array of reform models for teacher preparation and licensure, and what they would mean for the profession; * Questions of rigor and ideology in the core curricula of education schools and programs; * The federal role in teacher preparation and licensure, especially in light of NCLB. A Qualified Teacher in Every Classroom? lays out new approaches for ensuring high-quality teacher preparation while offering a candid assessment of the obstacles that may impeded the implementation of such new models. "Most readers will find plenty to agree and disagree with in this volume. For all of us, the range of new ideas and the sense of urgency are invaluable. A must read for everyone who cares about the preparation of the next generation of teachers." -- James W. Fraser, Dean, Northwestern University School of Education "School district and state administrators who seek fresh insights and approaches to the challenge of providing all students with quality teachers will find this volume invaluable." -- Vicki Bernstein, Director of Alternative Teacher Licensure, New York City Department of Education "This book goes beyond tired arguments about certification and ed schools to propose fresh though divergent solutions. For the policymaker with time for just one book, this is it." -- William J. Moloney, Colorado Commissioner of Education Frederick M. Hess is director of Educational Policy Studies and a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He is also the executive editor of Education Next. Andrew J. Rotherham is director of the Progressive Policy Institute's 21st Century Schools Project and a former special assistant to President Bill Clinton on domestic policy. Kate Walsh is president of the National Council on Teacher Quality.
