Strengthening the University-Public School Partnership.

Overview & Synopsis

The nation faces the prospect of an abundant supply of highly trained educators. Foreseen imbalances in the supply and demand point to the need for more effective planning of the relationship between the lower and higher levels of education to meet occupational needs. Continuing education could help solve the dilemmas of (1) the quest for compatibility between humanistic and technological content, (2) appropriate linkages between lower education and higher education, and (3) a more rational coordination between colleges, universities, and technical institutes. There are several broad teaching strategies that might be employed to bring variable learning environments into higher education. (Author/MLF)
