Learning to Teach in England and the United States studies the
evolution of initial teacher education by considering some of the
current approaches in England and the United States. Presenting
empirical evidence from these two distinct political and historical
contexts, the chapters of this thought-provoking volume illustrate
the tensions involved in preparing teachers who are working in
ever-changing environments. Grounded in the lived experiences of
those directly affected by these shifting policy environments, the
book questions if reforms that have introduced accountability
regimes and new kinds of partnership with the promise of improving
teaching and learning, have contributed to more powerful learning
experiences in schools for those entering the profession. The
authors consider the relationships between global, national and
local policy, and question their potential impact on the future of
teacher education and teaching more generally. The research adopts
an innovative methodology and sociocultural theoretical framework
designed to show greater insights into the ways in which beginning
teachers' learning experiences are shaped by relationships at all
of these levels. A key emerging issue is that of the alignment - or
not - between the values and dispositions of the individuals and
the institutions that are involved. This book will appeal to
academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of
teacher education, comparative education, higher education, and
education policy and politics.
