Abstract	Abstract This study examines the current views held by American teacher education students and teacher educators regarding what schools are for, using data gathered from 2, 947 teacher candidates and 1, 217 teacher educators in 29 teacher training institutions across the USA in a national research project — The Study of the Education of Educators. Findings suggest that progressive and liberal views were the most popular schools of thought for both students and faculty members, although in general faculty tended to be more liberal and less conservative than students. In addition, both groups supported all of the broad goals of schooling, with the most emphasis assigned to basic skills education. There were some discrepancies between what students and faculty members believed and what their programs emphasized because programs were perceived as more conservative than students and faculty. In evaluating various sources of influence on students' educational beliefs and values, student teaching and cooperating teachers were found to be the most powerful sources of influence.
