Reviews for Preparing America's Teachers: A History (Reflective History Series)
Fraser addresses the understudied history of American teacher education from a unique and important perspective. This is an insightful and helpful 'read' for the novice and the experienced teacher educator. I will be recommending its use to colleagues across the country. - David Imig, president emeritus of AACTE and professor at the University of Maryland's College of Education
