Teacher education has a central role in the improvement of
educational systems around the world but what do the teacher
educators in universities and colleges actually do? Day-to-day, how
do they support the learning and development of the thousands of
new teachers we need every year? And why does this matter? Drawing
on recent research by the authors, situated in the growing
international literature, Transforming Teacher Education puts these
questions in cultural and historical context and offers a practical
answer in the form of an original agenda for the transformation of
current conditions in teacher education with future designs for
practice. Viv Ellis and Jane McNicholl argue that teacher education
needs to be transformed so as to take advantage of the unique
structural connections that exist between schools and universities
in countries like England (represented by the notion of
'partnership') and the USA (with the example of professional
development schools) by capitalising on the networks of expertise
within and between these different organisations to produce
powerful new forms of knowledge. They offer suggestions for future
designs for teacher education, drawing not only on the latest
research in teacher learning and development but from across the
social sciences.
