ABSTRACT
The landscape of teaching, learning, and teacher education is changing. Once, teachers majored in elementary or secondary education. Today, most states require that all teachers, elementary and secondary alike, major in an academic subject. Once, mastery of basic skills was considered sufficient education for most students … Today, we expect all students to complete high school and most high school graduates enroll in postsecondary education. Furthermore, students are expected to develop more sophisticated understandings of subject matter to prepare themselves for a changing and increasingly technological society.
