Reaffirming the Role of Teacher Preparation in the
Mission of the California State University

AS-2392-97/TEKR - November 6-7, 1997

RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University reaffirm that teacher preparation is a central feature of the mission of the University and is an all-University responsibility.

RATIONALE: The Academic Senate of the California State University has a record supportive of teacher preparation as an essential part of the California State University mission (cf. AS-1768-87/AA/GA and AS-1801-88/TE). A statement of Senate support of teacher preparation would be timely, useful and appropriate.
