Faculty in the College of Education are examining how to transform our current course of instruction to prepare our students for the demands of twenty-first century teaching. The author serves as faculty advisor for the “Teens for Literacy” program at a local urban school. The collaboration provided Freshmen pre-service teacher education candidates enrolled in “Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education” with the opportunity to exchange letters/ journals, meet, dialogue, and teach middle school students.
