Valleys, Mountains, and Teacher Preparation

Abstract

Inspired by The Four Valleys of Bahá’u’lláh—well-known and well-loved as a description of the journey of the soul to its Creator—this article draws upon the metaphor of the soul’s journey to illustrate the practical work of building a team of college and school-based practitioners in the central Rocky Mountains to design a new program to prepare teachers for service in the public schools of that region.
