The Education of Teachers
Rita Kramer
In this provocative essay, Rita Kramer, noted author and educator, deconstructs and challenges an educational establishment that she blames for the "dumbing" of America. Kramer's thesis is that teacher training should put less emphasis on learning how to teach and more on what to teach. Instead of training teachers learned in history, math, literature and science, our education schools are producing teachers learned only in the methodology of teaching. Kramer calls for the de-politicization of teacher certification, the raising of academic standards and a renewed emphasis on knowledge rather than technique.
