Research Informing Our Approach
The Alder Graduate School of Education aims to prepare highly effective, diverse teachers through yearlong, intensive clinical preparation focused on educational equity. Theory and practice are interwoven in teaching and learning at Alder, equipping our teacher candidates with the skills and habits of mind for success. Below is a select bibliography of some of the research that informs our approach to teacher education.
