Abstract
Are the contributions of universities to the teacher education process unique? What is the role of the university in en hancing the quality of teacher prepara tion? Clift and Warner assert that univer sities make four unique contributions to the education of teachers — contribu tions that cannot be made by other edu cational institutions such as school districts. University teacher education practices: (a) provide the time and re sources for reflecting on educational issues; (b) provide multiple perspectives on the teaching and learning process; (c) provide for intellectual diversity re garding the nature and purpose of schooling; and (d) provide for continued research into the nature of teaching, learning, and schooling.
