Over the past 20 years, alternative certification for teachers has emerged as a major avenue of teacher preparation. The proliferation of new pathways has spurred heated debate over how best to recruit, prepare, and support qualified teachers. Drawing on the work of leading scholars, Alternative Routes to Teaching provides a thorough and dispassionate review of the research evidence on alternative certification. It takes readers beyond the simple dichotomies that have characterized the debate over alternative certification, encourages them to look carefully at the trade-offs implicit in any route into teaching, and suggests ways to "marry" the proven strengths of both traditional and alternative approaches. "Alternative Routes to Teaching is a timely, thoughtful book about one of the most pressing and controversial problems in American education today. This volume brings new and much-needed sophistication to ongoing debates about teacher preparation." -- Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Professor of Education, John E. Cawthorne Millennium Chair in Teacher Education for Urban Schools, and Director of the Doctoral Program in Curriculum and Instruction, Lynch School of Education, Boston College "A better book on this subject could not have been written. Alternative Routes to Teaching is a must-read for everyone involved in planning for the future of teaching." -- Emily Feistritzer, President and CEO, National Center for Education Information, National Center for Alternative Certification "At a time when the education of teachers is undergoing tectonic shifts, this work by Grossman, Loeb, and their colleagues represents an invaluable contribution. They introduce evidence where empty rhetoric has reigned and offer prudent evaluations of the available data to inform a policy debate dominated by ideology." -- Lee S. Shulman, President, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education Emeritus, Stanford University Pam Grossman is a professor of education at Stanford University. Susanna Loeb is an associate professor of education at Stanford University and director of the Institute for Research on Educational Policy and Practice.

Racially Equitable Teaching is a call to action for early childhood professionals dedicated to closing the achievement gap. Using a critical race theory lens, the book presents outcomes that exist among current professional development paradigms, ideology and public education, specifically looking at how racial ideologies are used as tools to maintain the over-empowerment and privileging of Whites. Beyond theory, Racially Equitable Teaching provides practical classroom applications for teachers and administrators in an effort to move towards racial authenticity, racial balance, and positive racial in-group messaging, challenging the current reproduction of White racial hegemony in United States public schools.
