ASU's new approach to quality teaching
In her May 31 op-ed in the Arizona Republic, ASU's Mari Koerner discusses teacher education reform in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, of which she is dean. She specifically refers to a program called iTeachAZ which focuses on teacher quality.
She writes: "Through iTeachAZ, students are student teaching in local districts for twice as long, with those districts participating as partners in the education of their future teachers - teachers who we expect will stay in the classroom for years and will see professional development as a necessity for their improvement as teachers.
This means that students who come into our college are ready to accept the challenges of being teachers, but they also expect to be treated as professionals who are able to earn salaries that support their families and work in environments that are supportive and respectful."
