| Columns::October 7, 2002 Around academe Teacher education reform The Carnegie Corporation has recommended that teaching be treated like a clinical profession, with a two-year “residency” as part of teacher-training programs. Under such a system, colleges would create programs to maintain contact with their teacher graduates to integrate theory with practice and track teacher effectiveness. Colleges would provide coaches and academic-content mentors for aspiring teachers in residency programs. Carnegie has pledged $40 million over three years to restructure the schools of education at six institutions in keeping with the residency idea. Research-protection panel expires The National Human Research Protections Advisory Committee has been disbanded by the Bush administration. The two-year old committee, charged with developing new regulations to protect human research subjects, had just completed work on a report regarding the status of children as research subjects and was working on six other reports on related topics. The Department of Health and Human Services stated that the committee would be re-created in the future, although no time frame was specified.
