American Enterprise Institute study critiques graduate education syllabi

A study by Daniel Buck of the American Enterprise Institute suggests that many top graduate schools of education in the United States are prioritizing ideological training over practical pedagogy.

According to the review of various syllabi, these institutions appear to be focusing on progressive and critical theory frameworks rather than preparing teachers for classroom management or core subjects like math, reading, and writing. The study indicates an emphasis on activism and immutable characteristics, which Buck argues may influence K-12 classrooms by spreading specific political and cultural milieus.
