The best teacher preparation programs emphasize subject matter mastery and provide many opportunities for student teachers to spend time in real classrooms under the supervision of an experienced mentor. Just as professionals in medicine, architecture and law have opportunities to learn through examining case studies, learning best practices and participating in internships, exemplary teacher preparation programs allow teacher candidates the time to apply their learning of theory in the context of teaching in a real classroom.
