Debates about what constitutes quality in initial teacher education
have resulted in a series of quality conundrums that have to be
unravelled by teacher educators. Using the lens of scale and
adopting a new approach to understanding quality, this book draws
upon empirical research into five large-scale, high-quality
university-based teacher education providers in Australia, Canada,
England, New Zealand and the US. The resulting model of initial
teacher education practice shows how ideological concepts and
accountability structures around teacher education are in constant
tension with operational realities. The book explores how
successful large-scale providers have reconciled those tensions and
conundrums to ensure their provision is consistently high quality.
The accounts also present a robust defence for university-based
teacher education. The practice-based accounts of how tensions
around quality and scale are being reconciled reveal the competing
discourses around teacher professionalism, research and the role of
the university in teacher education. The analysis presented
promises to change the way we view high-quality teacher education
across all providers and international contexts, not just those of
large scale. This book will be of great interest to teacher
educators, policymakers and educational leaders.
