- Summary:
-
In five meetings between June 1988 and September 1989, the national curriculum committee of the Holmes Group, a consortium of 96 U.S. research universities committed to making their teacher education programs more rigorous and connected, came to agreement about fundamental principles that should underlie the curriculum of teacher education. In this report, these principles are presented and discussed within the framework of seven major topics: liberal learning, learning and knowing, teaching, curriculum, schools, leadership, diversity, and extended communities. Themes which emerge from the report include: (1) teacher education candidates should receive a comprehensive liberal education; (2) teachers should be committed to continuous learning for themselves, their students, and their colleagues; (3) teachers and teacher educators should be active curriculum workers; (4) teachers need to develop an understanding of school organization and dynamics; (5) teachers need to be prepared to understand and demonstrate the properties of effective leadership; (6) teachers need to be aware of diversity issues and able to make meaningful learning situations for all students; and (7) the learning community of classroom and school is part of the wider community. Four responses to the report are included. (IAH)
