With Origins in the Anti-Knowledge Ideology Prevailing at Teachers College/Columbia University During the 1920s, Abominable Teacher Training Abides in the Institutions of the Twin Cities--- as Subsets of Similar Programs Throughout the United States
From the days during the 1920s when William Heard Kilpatrick and Harold Rugg presided in classrooms at Teachers College/Columbia University, education professors advocated for teacher training based on their anti-knowledge ideology.
By the 1970s, such programs came to dominate in departments, colleges, and schools of the United States--- including those in Minnesota. And by the middle 1990s, graduate programs in education came to replace those in field-specific disciplines as the means by which teachers moved up the step and lane system so as to attain greater remuneration. These are graduate programs in name only, cash cows that yield high revenue for universities but are no more than degree mills that give us teachers with extraordinarily low knowledge bases.
Among the worst of these terrible ruses of the education establishment in Minnesota is the following program that upon completion bestows an M.A. in Teaching and Learning to those who endure the courses:
