Specific topics will be explored beginning with a brief history of teacher education and its "place" in the university, better understanding varying models for teacher education programs, exploring teacher education as a site for social justice and democracy, and looking at the work of teacher educators, those who teach teachers. Finally, the course will consider the types of research being done which inform teacher education curriculum, policy, and perception.

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
