Request for Research Assistance re MUSIC Teacher Education Programs . . . [REQ] (02.02.01]


Submitted via:  "Asmus, Edward P" <ed.asmus@MIAMI.EDU>


Colleagues,

I'm working on a chapter of the the second edition of the Handbook on
the Teaching & Learning of Music entitled "Changing Concepts of
Teacher Education" with Ken Zeichner, professor in the College of
Education at UW-Madison.

It would help me greatly if you could identify current MUSIC teacher
education program models that are based on one or any combination of
the following:

        *The National Music Standards

        *Five-year "Add-on" Certification Concept (programs in which
students complete usually one, but sometimes two, years of
professional education coursework and supervised field experiences in
addition to an undergraduate degree in music)

        *"Fast-track" Post-baccalaureate Concept (programs based on a
framework other than simply completion of required courses not taken
at the undergraduate level)

        *Summer-Only Post-baccalaureate Concept

        *Specific Populations Concept (programs aimed at Specific
Populations (such as paragrofessionals or "career changers")

        *Developmentalist Tradition (programs that are built around a
framework of knowledge of students' cognitive and physical
development)

        *Social Efficiency Tradition (program based on mastery of
teaching skills and standards based on educational research)

        *Social Reconstructionist Tradition (program designed to
prepare teachers who consciously address the social and political
implications of their teaching and work to build a more just, humane
society)

        *Reflective Teacher Concept

        *Master Teacher Concept (program designed around developing
skills in young teachers which master teachers possess)

        *Partnership Models (programs based on partnerships
arrangements between colleges and K-12 schools, departments of
education, etc.)

        *Alternative Certification (programs run by school districts,
state departments of education, private providers)

        *Professional Development School Concept (Holmes Group)

        *Programs Utilizing On-line or Correspondence Courses


Please e-mail me the names of institutions which are utilizing these
frameworks for music teacher education and a short description or
location of references describing the programs.

Thanks in advance for your help with this matter.

Sincerely,

Glenn Nierman
