Tomorrow's Teachers Tomorrow's Schools and Tomorrow's Schools of Education are a collection
of reports from the Holmes Group and later the Holmes Partnership addressing principles of
teaching as a profession by focusing on the teachers' roles in the schools the role of schools
in communities and the role and obligation of schools and colleges of education in the
preparation of teachers. Tomorrow's Teachers (1986) outlines the principles of teaching as a
profession which include making the education of teachers rigorous and relevant providing
defensible standards of entry into the profession and connecting schools of education with
K-12 schools. Tomorrow's Schools (1990) covers the principles for the design of professional
development schools including promoting more ambitious conceptions of teaching and learning
adding to and reorganizing knowledge about teaching and learning ensuring responsible research
and development is done in schools providing professional development for veteran teachers and
administrators to improve schools creating incentives for college faculties to work in schools
and strengthening relations between schools and the broader political social economic
communities in which they reside. Tomorrow's Schools of Education (1995) advocates a new core
curriculum for all prospective education professionals and the necessary restructuring of the
organization of schools colleges and departments of education in research universities. This
collection is useful for courses on teacher education curriculum development restructuring
