The Lowest Common Denominator: How Texas Colleges of Education Are Failing Teachers and Students.
Overview & Synopsis
Examines perceived incompetence within Texas colleges of education, discussing: whether schooling promotes equality; prior analyses of the issue; grade inflation and social promotion; and student teachers' attitudes and curricular preferences. Overall, admissions standards are too low, resulting in marginal teachers who retard students' academic development. Student teachers appear unaware of the important role of students' individual differences on educational outcomes. (SM)
