Abstract

Effective education depends on effective teachers, and effective teachers relies on effective teacher education. This paper briefly introduces American educator Dr. Allen’s ideas on teacher education reforms. On the basis of analyzing the prevailing problems facing teacher education, such as “standardized” teacher training programs, divergence between teacher education and basic education, lack of institutional collaboration in teacher preparation, strategies addressing these problems are presented, which include promoting a six-year “Bachelor-Master Combination Degree” teacher training model to accelerate the process of teacher professionalism, strengthening the collaboration between colleges of education and academic departments to work out the most reasonable curriculum for the 21st century, and establishing clinical practice system to provide teacher candidates with adequate hands-on field experience so as to prepare them with better teacher qualifications.
