A few ideas:<br /><br />* I think that there are times when faculty think that they are teaching practical lessons, but teachers and leadership prepartion students see it as theory. They have such different perspectives that they don't even agree on what is might be theory.<br /><br />In the absense of real experience, any statement that is the least bit generalized sounds like theory. But with a lot of experience or knowledge, even relatively abstracted practices can sound like practice. <br /><br />* This points to a problem with how we train teachers (and leaders, too). A strong internship year (in which they view classrooms as educators, rather than students) would make them much better able to take in what these programs have to teach them. But in the absense of such experience, or in the midst of the craziness of first- or second-year teachings, anything other than color-by-numbers advice is <i>very</i> hard to take it. <br /><br />* I do not think that there are any other fields where degrees are granted merely for practical and concrete lessons. Law, medicine, MFA programs and all the rest, I believe, grant degrees for understanding ideas. These are not vocational programs that teach all the pracitical skills of the profession. Pilots might not learn a lot of theory, but pilots do get get degrees. <br /><br />* Practical learning, learning how to engage in the practice of a profession, probably requires the kind of learning in the field that other professions have. Doctors have residencies, and lawyers have the early highly supervised years of their careers, for example. <br /><br />This points to a real place for TFA, NYCTF and othe programs. But they would not take the place of academics programs. Rather, they would work together with those programs to provide the kind of training that budding professionals need.Ceolafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038872543333554227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458172893016186479.post-29149356981065291102010-04-19T23:30:00.149-04:002010-04-19T23:30:00.149-04:00My understanding is that anyone/thing can award a ...My understanding is that anyone/thing can award a degree - the question is just, does anyone value that degree? I can give you a pretty diploma that declares Corey to be a Doctor of Education Stuff, but try putting that on your CV! The value of a degree is generally regulated by accreditation agencies, not by states. States get involved only when they consider the education to be a scam or fraud - like diploma mills. (The values of degrees are also regulated by profession groups, especially in medicine and law.)<br /><br />I suspect the degrees in question were initially regulated by the state Regents in this case only as a fraud measure. That is, you can require a degree to teach, but if anyone can go buy a diploma by mail, what's the point? So the laws used some kind of language to prevent that, specifying colleges or something. This is wild speculation on my part, though. I'm open to being disproven.Eve Properhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026926577142821030noreply@blogger.com
