A full-bodied, robust discussion of issues of concern to faculty in schools of education.
Schools of education are undergoing dramatic changes in what they are expected to do and what kinds of work faculty should do and how they should be rewarded. This book discusses changes that are currently taking place and considers what reforms are necessary, offering provocative analyses about issues such as tenure, the role of non-tenure faculty, and the overall mission of schools of education for the twenty-first century.
Contributors include James Soto Antony, Melissa S. Anderson, James C. Hearn, Judith Glazer Raymo, Philo Hutcheson, Mary M. Kennedy, Arthur Levine, Yvonna S. Lincoln, Jeannie Oakes, John Rogers, Edward Taylor, William G. Tierney, and Sarah E. Turner.
"Tierney and his colleagues argue powerfully that 'the field of education is not in a period of robust growth, but it is in a time of dynamic change.' Building on this premise, this book makes a compelling case that, within a rapidly changing context, the future of education schools is uncertain. If those of us who work in education schools wish to shape that future, we must grapple diligently with the issues and questions framed through the careful analyses presented in this book: What are the purposes of education schools? How should we organize and reward our work as faculty? What is our responsibility to society? What is our role in the university?" — Ann E. Austin, coauthor of Faculty Collaboration: Enhancing the Quality of Scholarship and Teaching
"Faculty Work in Schools of Education is essential reading for all administrators, faculty, students of higher education, and everyone who cares about the educational system of our nation." — Mildred García, editor of Affirmative Action's Testament of Hope: Strategies for a New Era in Higher Education
