Description: This book emphasizes that the goals and conditions for teacher preparation at liberal arts colleges differ from those at larger public institutions in several key respects including supervisor-student teacher relationships, philosophical foundations, and approaches to clinical fieldwork. It draws attention to the ways in which districts, schools, and most importantly, students, all benefit from the contributions that liberal arts teacher education programs make to our education system. -- Back cover
