Redesigning Special Education Teacher Preparation describes both challenges and possible solutions to redesigning and restructuring high-incidence teacher preparation programs so graduates will meet the Highly-Qualified Teacher requirements and be prepared to teach students with high-incidence disabilities.
The professional community in teacher preparation is papered with reports, manifestos, and standards urging redesign of programs to align with research. Finally, we have a best-practice guide to pilot our work. Goeke and colleagues have gone out of their way to anticipate obstacles and highlight sustainability as we move toward implementing innovation.
