Standards for Academic and Professional Instruction in Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, and Educational Policy Studies. Second Edition.

Overview & Synopsis

The original "Standards for Academic and Professional Instruction in Foundations of Education, Educational Studies, and Educational Policy Studies" were presented to the education community by the Council of Learned Societies in Education (CLSE). The standards were first developed and published in 1977-78. In response to recent developments in the field of teacher preparation, licensure, and assessment, CLSE has revised the standards to warrant publication of this second edition in 1996. The standards include treatments of each of the following professional education components: (1) defining foundations of education; (2) initial teacher certification and continuing professional development (inservice education); (3) school principal, school superintendent, school psychologist, and school counselor certification programs; (4) nonfoundations graduate degrees and program in education; (5) joint graduate degrees and programs involving foundations of education, educational studies, and educational policy studies; (6) Master's and educational specialist degrees and programs in the foundations of education, educational studies, and educational policy studies; (7) doctoral degree programs in foundations of education, educational studies, and educational policy studies; and (8) professional development of faculty in foundations of education, educational studies, and educational policy studies. The appendix contains a matrix of six general principles to help higher education and professional-development agencies in designing and evaluating professional-preparation-and-development programs with strong foundations components.
