Raines; Irvin D Reid; Michael The themes of this book resonate closely with the values of ACE: leadership, change, community partnership, and the importance of teacher education and learning. With higher education facing increasing financial constraints, and public education under continued strain, education leaders must dedicate their efforts to strengthening the partnership of higher education with K-12 education, and with the community, to ensure success. This book features examples of university leaders who took a personal interest in and led their institutions' efforts to improve the quality of teacher preparation, and to develop partnerships with school systems to ensure that more future teachers were recruited, prepared, and provided with an excellent transition into their teaching roles.
