In its stead, with the advent of newly emerging graduate schools of education in the early decades of the twentieth century, came the so-called professionalization of public education. At the expense of the training of elementary school teachers (mostly women), teacher educators shifted their attention to the turning out of educational \"specialists\" (mostly men)-administrators, faculty members at normal schools and teachers colleges, adult education teachers, and educational researchers.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately a history of the neglect of the American public school teacher, \u003ci\u003eAnd Sadly Teach\u003c\/i\u003e ends with a plea and a message that ring loud and clear. The plea: that the current reform proposals for American teacher education-the Carnegie and the Holmes reports-be heeded. The message: that the key to successful school reform lies in educating teacher's true professionals and in acknowledging them as such in their classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jurgen Herbst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299121844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299121846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.08w x 0.64d","brand":"Jurgen Herbst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526193008895,"sku":"9780299121846","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6bd9e659-b2d2-4c5f-b9a8-4ff926df89db.jpg?v=1737555459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-sadly-teach-jurgen-herbst-9780299121846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
