Dan,
I agree that teacher preparation is essential for increasing teaching effectiveness so that students succeed. I am glad that you were eventually given the tools you needed to become the successful educator you are today and I applaud your efforts to begin this dialogue. I am happy to share that there are several colleges and universities that have strong teacher prep programs very similar to Emporia's program. Several universities in Virginia have undergrad programs that have the undergrads working with a mentor teacher/school/classroom during their sophomore year and continue their program ending in a 5th year with a Master's in Education. I have been fortunate to work with many of these qualified graduates and they have been exemplary teachers. So, I agree that teacher prep programs need to be more than a 6-7 week summer course, and, yes, many colleges and universities currently have these programs in place.
