A volume in Readings in Educational ThoughtSeries Editors Andrew J. Milson, Chara Haeussler Bohan,Perry L. Glanzer and J. Wesley NullClinical Teacher Education focuses on how to build a school-university partnership network for clinical teacher educationin urban school systems serving culturally and linguistically diverse populations. The labor intensive nature ofprofessional development school work has resulted in research institutions being slow to fully adopt a clinical teachereducation Professional Development School (PDS) network approach across the entirety of their teacher preparationprograms. Faculty have often been hesitant to commit to such models in light of the demands of institutional expectationsof publish or perish. In this book, faculty, researchers, and administrators from academia and from public schools involvedin a clinical teacher education PDS network discuss their commitment to collaborative clinical teacher preparation anddevelopment, and to inquiry in PDS initiatives in urban schools. Clinical Teacher Education serves as an in-depth analysisof the strengths and challenges of establishing school-university networks in metropolitan environments.Many experienced and noteworthy authors contributed to Clinical Teacher Education.
