There is wide agreement that the key to better schools is better teachers.¿ If we are to prepare diverse students with the knowledge required by today's society, we need teachers with the sophisticated skills to teach all learners well. Yet the task of preparing these¿more knowledgeable and skillful teachers has been a difficult one, as schools of education have been poorly resourced and frequently criticized as weak, fragmented, and out of touch.¿ If we are to have teachers who can meet the challenges of today's demanding classrooms, we must start with strong teacher education programs that can help teachers become highly capable from their first days on the job.

Praise for Powerful Teacher Education
"This book is evidence-based, readable, and the mostpowerful case to date for the essential role of excellent teacher preparation in the reform of the nation's schools. Reflecting onpersonal experience, analyzing previous research, carefully examiningthe practices of excellent institutions, and observing practices in countries with high-performing students, Darling-Hammond offers a series of affordable and practical proposals to make excellent teacher preparation the norm. Teacher educators and teachers will learn about effective practices, but federal and state policymakers will find the solution that they have been so desperately seeking for the nation's school ills."
--Arthur E. Wise, president, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
"Powerful Teacher Education provides the professional communitywith a very important framework for analysis and examples of whatmust become the reality for all teacher education candidates. Powerful Teacher Education produces teachers who can serve all learners."
--Sharon Robinson, president, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education
"If there is any doubt whether teacher education matters, this volume clears it up powerfully and convincingly. It matters, and itmatters in significant ways. By helping us see what quality teacher education looks like in action, Darling-Hammond and her collaborating authors paint a clear road map to excellence. Now we must muster the political will to make this kind of preparation a reality for all who would teach."
--Gloria Ladson-Billings, president, the American Educational Research Association andprofessor of education, University of Wisconsin
