Resumen:La formación inicial de cualquier titulación académica tiene como objetivo principal aportar los conocimientos necesarios para que los estudiantes, al finalizar sus estudios, puedan desarrollar la tarea profesional para la que se preparan. La correcta aplicación de los conocimientos adquiridos al lugar de trabajo será la garantía del éxito de los estudios de la educación superior. Empero, la actuación profesional exige el desarrollo de competencias profesionales que pueden adquirirse tratando los contenidos por separado y esperando que cada estudiante, por sí solo, sea capaz de relacionarlos y aplicarlos de manera conjunta o bien pueden adquirirse vinculados entre sí facilitando que los desarrollen de manera integrada. Desarrollamos un Estudio de Casos (Simons, 2011) con el objetivo de analizar dos modalidades de prácticum que se ofrecen en el grado de Educación Primaria en la Universidad de Lleida (UdL) Alternancia y en la California State University Long Beach (CSCLB) Urban Teaching Academy (UTEACH) con la finalidad de establecer puntos de mejora extrapolables a las propuestas formativas descritas. De entre los resultados se destaca que el profesorado tutor valora el aprendizaje de los estudiantes con esta metodología de trabajo; consideran que la práctica diaria en la escuela facilita el desarrollo de capacidades necesarias para el ejercicio docente. Coincidimos con Duijnhover, Prins, Stokking, (2012) en que la retroalimentación y la comunicación son fundamentales para poder mejorar sus prácticas profesionales, pues los estudiantes reconocen que les ha ayudado a dar sentido a su actividad profesional. Abstract:The initial formation of any academic degree has the goal of contributing in the necessary knowledge for the students, after they finish their studies, to develop the professional task they having preparing for. The correct application of the knowledge obtained in the workplace will be the guarantee in the success of higher education studies. However, the professional action in the school requires the development of the skills which can be obtained treating the contents separately and hoping that each student, by themselves, are able to connect and apply the skills together or they can also be obtained interlinked making it easier for students to develop them entirely. We develop a Case Studies (Simons, 2011)) with the aim to analyze of teaching practices offered at the level of Primary Education at the University of Lleida (UDL) Alternancia and at California State University Long Beach (CSCLB) Urban Teaching Academy (UTEACH) in order to make improvement points for the training described in the formative proposals. Among the results we underline that the teacher value the knowledge of the students with this working methodology. They consider that the daily practice at school facilitates the skills development needed for teaching. We agree with Duijnhover, Prins, Stokking, (2012) that feedback and communication are essential to improve since students recognize that these aspects helped them to understand the meaning of their work.

The following paper, which was originally presented at the annual conference of the International Council on Education for Teaching in July 1994, focuses on the importance of the academic library in preparing future teachers. As noted in this article, librarians and libraries, although omitted from the original discussion in Nation at a Risk, received full attention in the publications that responded to this seminal work. Drawing on the many documents that followed publication of Nation at a Risk the authors highlight the value of strong library programs, specifically those that support Teacher Education Departments. In particular, the experience of future teachers attending California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and the University Library at CSULB are presented here.

In this talk, delivered at the 2014 California State University, Long Beach, symposium celebrating the 75th anniversary of the publication of Ask the Dust, Cooper recounts the story of how he came to discover a remarkable letter, to that point unknown, written by John Fante in 1933. Addressed to fellow Italian American writer Jo Pagano, who like Fante had ventured west from Colorado to seek writing success in Los Angeles, the letter provides insight into the crippling doubts and frustrations that burdened the young Fante even as it reveals his deep-seated confidence that he would one day write a great novel. Published here for the first time, this letter prefigures another remarkable Fante letter, the one written in 1938 that is now known as the Prologue to Ask the Dust.

24% of 917 students at California State University Long Beach who completed an alcohol use survey in 2002 (73% response) identified themselves as Latino. Because measures of acculturation reported in most adult studies positively correlated with alcohol use and sex, it was hypothesized that these associations might also apply to Latino college students. With increasing levels of acculturation, women but not men in this Latino college sample reported significantly greater occurrence of heavy drinking, positive attitudes about drinking, and perception that most of their friends use alcoholic beverages.
