This month, we dug into David Labaree’s The Trouble with Ed Schools. If you are a parent or teacher of K-12 children, you will find Labaree’s book to be invaluable in helping you understand why the modern US K-12 system is the way it is. He makes a clear case that American education schools are fundamentally outdated due to their lack of integration of modern scientific insights.
Dr. Labaree argues that these institutions have been overly focused on certifying teachers rather than pushing the envelope with teaching methods that are informed by current research. Labaree’s book is a clarion call for education schools to revamp their approaches and curriculum to not only keep pace with, but also lead in, the application of new scientific insights that could revolutionize teaching and learning–as with the visionary approaches of Lake Superior Academy.
The Trouble with Ed Schools encourages us to rethink how teachers are trained and challenges us to envision a future where education is as dynamic and evidence-based as the best scientific fields.
