Standards for Teacher Educators
Standards of practice for teacher educators should represent agreements about what teacher educators should think about, know, and be able to do. Forging these agreements gives teacher educators the opportunity to review and adopt a knowledge base that can be tested, modified, and revised when appropriate. Such dialogue will add immeasurably to the public debate on schooling and teacher preparation.
Teacher educators have an obligation to be precise about what is entailed in being a teacher educator. To do less at a time when the quality of children's education weighs so heavily in the balance is indefensible. Not only will the standards of teacher educators provide a vehicle for being precise; it will also provide the opportunity to coalesce a knowledge base that will make public the characteristics of the specialization.
A list of the Standards for Teacher Educators, Indicators of each Standard, Evidence supporting Proficiency, and Assessment Modes are identified on the following pages. Please note that the listings under Evidence do not correspond directly to Indicators, nor are all persons expected to provide evidence related to all indicators or evidence. The final Evidence for each Standard provides flexibility to persons so they may adequately portray their expertise as a Master Teacher Educator.
