Extract

One of the most striking recent trends in american education is the increasing collaboration between universities and high schools. Spurred by deepening national concern over the schools, universities are making a far greater commitment than ever before to the preparation of secondary teachers (Amer. Council on Educ.; Franklin, Laurence, and Welles; Franklin). This long-overdue development marks a dramatic change in outlook since the days when I began university teaching in 1963.
