ABSTRACT
Universities tend to treat schools of education and the preparation of teachers like any other department, school, or college. Some variation might be allowed for professionally oriented units such as the schools of journalism, business, architecture, and education but for the most part the same policies and administrative expectations govern all participants in the university culture. The mind set is the same: you are in the university system and you conform to the university rules and culture. Failure to do so means, ‘you are not one of us’. Where does this leave those faculty involved in meeting some very critical public expectations relative to the preparation of teachers for America’s schools?
