KEEPThe article is a valid Wikipedia topic, and is a discussed topic in the field of education. Referencing of materials needs to be moved from the end of the article to proper citation form (which it seems is being done). Much of the information in the article has now been cited, and does reflect the material presented in the sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.85.67.183 (talk) 18:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as origional research and pov fork. any contributors which feel any content is sourced and important and not already mentioned on WP, can add it to the article on teacher education, possibly in a new subsection. "Transforming" is a dead giveaway for deletion, unless there is a book by this title, which then started a whole school of thought using this specific phrase. too general a name and subject, though of course the subject is obviously important and notable (again, belonging in the main article).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This rambling, semicoherent essay doesn't seem to have a single central encyclopedic topic at all. In the best case, it might eventually be cleaned up enough to become OR-by-synthesis. Wikipedia is not at all the place for this kind of material. -- Rbellin|Talk 01:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with Rbellin. The title and contents of *this* article as it stands now conflicts with WP:SOAP by WP:SYNTH and WP:NPOV. There is a field of study called Transformative Teacher Education and some of the citations referenced in this article do fit into that article. kgrr ^talk 13:30, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
