Teacher education is currently the subject of widespread political
debate and radical reform. There is, however, very little recent
empirical evidence about what actually happens on teacher training
courses and in the first year of teaching. The Leverhulme Primary
Project, reported here, looks in detail at the experience of all
the student teachers on one post graduate primary teacher training
course and of those responsible for them in their university and in
school. It tracks them as they work to acquire the appropriate
subject and pedagogical knowledge and as their own attitudes and
beliefs about teaching develop through the course. A final section
follows some of the students through their first year as qualified
teachers. The aim throughout the book is to define the basic
teaching competences and to show how these relate to the knowledge
bases with which novice teachers enter the profession. More people
than ever before now have some responsibility, whether in higher
education or in schools, for the training of teachers and the
insights into how teachers are made contained in this book are
designed to help them.
