Schools of education are undergoing dramatic changes in what they are expected to do and what kinds of work faculty should do and how they should be rewarded. This book discusses changes that are currently taking place and considers what reforms are necessary, offering provocative analyses about issues such as tenure, the role of non-tenure faculty, and the overall mission of schools of education for the twenty-first century.

Contributors include James Soto Antony, Melissa S. Anderson, James C. Hearn, Judith Glazer Raymo, Philo Hutcheson, Mary M. Kennedy, Arthur Levine, Yvonna S. Lincoln, Jeannie Oakes, John Rogers, Edward Taylor, William G. Tierney, and Sarah E. Turner.
