Description

This themed issue of Teacher Education Quarterly is dedicated to the examination of how teacher education and urban schools and communities can be mutually transformed by moving teacher education programs directly into urban schools and surrounding communities. When teacher education is located on a university campus, set apart from an urban environment, it is easy to overlook the challenges inherent in local urban community dynamics. This issue calls, then, for repositioning of teacher education programs, situating them within the school/community context. To be a meaningful part of the commitment to the struggle toward social, economic, cultural, and racial justice, teacher education must respond by transforming its programs, faculty, and preservice teachers to work intimately within urban schools, communities, and community-based organizations. Each author in this issue describes a teacher education program that moves teacher education courses, field experiences, or entire programs into urban schools and communities, describing benefits and challenges. The articles in this issue represent a range of geographic locations, level of schooling, and research methodologies. The programs described here are located in California, Arizona, Texas, Chicago, New Jersey, New York City, and Maine. Some programs are at the graduate level, some are post-baccalaureate teacher credential programs, and some prepare undergraduate students. All programs described are located either partially or wholly in k-12 schools and their surrounding communities. All articles are descriptive; one presents a quantitative study; and the majority are qualitative in nature, including case studies, narratives, observations, interviews, and surveys.
