Abstract
Many college teachers of economics are responsible not only for instructing students who will become professional economists, but for providing some measure of economic literacy for the lay person and for giving precollege teachers the grounding they will need to deal with economic issues in their own classrooms. In this article, Mackey, Glenn and Lewis have important things to say about the needs of that last group of students—the teacher trainees on college campuses. They summarize recent research showing the extent to which teacher trainees receive economics instruction, list further research that needs to be done, and then spell out in detail the kinds of preparation needed for the teacher trainee and the role that the college professor of economics can play in helping to meet this need.
