Synopsis
Browning (1837-1923) and Hughes (1852-1925) were strong advocates for teacher training at Cambridge during the late 19th century, and became the principals of the two separate teachers training colleges for men and women. Focusing on the two pioneers, Hirsch (education, U. of Cambridge) and McBeth (criminal law, City U. of New York) explore how teacher training became an academic subject rather than just practical training, and brought students into the elite university that would not otherwise attend. They see in the early theories and practices a step in the professionalization of teaching. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
