Duncan to ed schools: End 'mediocre' training - Class Struggle - Jay Mathews on Education:
"Education Secretary Arne Duncan, in prepared remarks circulating in advance of a speech Thursday, accuses many of the nation's schools of education of doing 'a mediocre job of preparing teachers for the realities of the 21st-century classroom.'
My colleague Nick Anderson, on the national education beat, and I found the advance text a meaty read.
Duncan's speech, to be delivered at Columbia University, goes further than any other I can remember from an education secretary in ripping into the failure of education schools to ready teachers for the challenges of the day, particularly the demand for academic growth in all students."
