Preservice coursework and inservice education are two different things, both needed. Preservice education is an induction into the profession, which occurs in every profession. There one learns the history, the theories, the issues, and general methods and techniques. All of that is necessary, and necessarily out of context. Then within the context of a school young teachers must learn about that commmunity and school district, its expectations, programs, materials etc. The teacher must also learn a specific grade level (elementary) or course(s) (secondary). Then the teacher has to integrate the two. No one ever said it was easy.
