Hearing that foundations of education may no longer be a requirement for students going into education is very concerning to me.  In this class I learned so much that helped shaped the teacher I am.   I still use materials from this class in my classroom today. BThe name foundations says it all.  It is the foundation that crates a well rounded and knowledgeable teacher!    We would not stop teaching students the foundation of math like numbers and adding.  So why would we send teachers out into the world with out giving them the foundation they need.
