Mapping the teacher education terrain for novices

Teacher education in the U.S. suffers from a form of continental drift with deep fault lines. Most teachers learn to teach in three disconnected lands -- colleges of arts and science, schools of education, and K-12 classrooms. There is little to help preservice travelers navigate within and bridge across these spaces. This article describes the Rounds Project, which works to build a navigational system that connects these spaces for novice teachers.
