Full Description
This book focuses on the development and utilization of a conceptual framework in teacher preparation programs, in particular those seeking national accreditation. The book's aim is to show that a conceptual framework may act, as Goddlad said, "as the stimulation of an ethos- a system or framework within which continuous motivation, renewal and rebirth can occur." The Development of a Conceptual Framework should contribute to helping teacher education units fashion a coherent perspective in their operations by being able, through a conceptual framework, to relate the unit parts into a coherent pattern or whole.
