Pugalee, University of North Carolina, Charlotte Twentieth century secondary teachers have been primarily masters of the content they teach. But the issues of the 21st century require teachers to expand their domain of expertise. When students have easy access to content experts outside the school, the teacher's role and instructional practices must change. This work is essential to preparing secondary teachers who understand their larger roles in instruction. -- Catherine B.
