Synopsis

This book is a two part story. First, it explores the history of teacher preparation as it emerged in Western Europe and was then transported to America in the seventeenth century. The influence of ideological, philosophical, and theological conceptualization of education and the influence of these ways of thinking on the methods developed to prepare teachers is presented. The story then shifts its focus to examine how these antecedents led to the establishment and institutionalization of teacher preparation in the normal schools of the mid-nineteenth century and how these institutions became the conceptual foundation of teacher preparation in America. This book presents these conceptual foundations as they became manifest in the establishment of the Michigan State Normal School (MSNS) from its founding in 1849 to its transition to a four-year college in 1900.
