Teacher education proposal

[Jane Clark]

I suspect these people know tons about their subjects but maybe not so much
about teaching. I just attended a conference re: this subject. Thought it
was an interesting point.

>or two scholars who have worked with schools of education), teacher
>education and the K-12 schools (total group size not to exceed 15);
>paper(s)
>and a proposal for an implementation project as an outcome.

>Please contact me immediately -- or sooner! -- if you are interested in

>I'll do the writing, but I will need to convene those interested --
>in-person and/or electronically - between now and September 15 to develop
