Teacher training is critical to student success. But despite high-profile education reforms such as Common Core standards and a new state education funding formula, teacher preparation is still not getting the attention it deserves. That's one of the conclusions of "Preparing World Class Teachers," a new study by the education think tank EdSource. We talk to the report's co-author and other education experts about model programs and the best way to reform teacher preparation and credentialing.
Moderated by Michael Krasny, with Betsy Kean, San Francisco State University; Jessica Taal, Teacher, San Lorenzo High School; Linda Darling-Hammond,professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education, chair of the California Teacher Credentialing Commission; Louis Freedberg, EdSource; Megan Taylor, STEP alumna, assistant education professor , Sonoma State University.
