Describe the contributions of Catherine Beecher and Booker T. Washington to the field of teacher education

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Beecher started the Hartford Female Seminary in 1828. She believed that education should prepare women to assume roles of high responsibility in society and that women should train to become teachers, as a natural extension of their family roles. She fought to promote educational and political equity. Washington was the first leader of Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers (today Tuskegee University). The school prepared African American teachers to be self-reliant and to acquire practical vocational skills. His efforts advanced the education of African Americans and their representation in the field of education.
