This book explores how educators are proactively working to reclaim
teacher professionalism by engaging in exemplary practice and
promoting quality education for all. It examines voices in
contemporary Australian teacher education and how professionalism
can contribute to achieving the multiplicity of purposes in
education. The work of contemporary teachers and teacher educators,
and perceptions about this work, have changed significantly. In
recent times, governments have identified key issues linked to the
quality of teachers, as presented in multiple inquiries, creating
shifts in public policy and increasing regulation. Educators must
work towards improving public and policy maker perceptions of
teaching as a profession. Teacher educators make an important
contribution in engaging in ongoing scholarship and debate that
examine research and practice and speak back to managerial
discourses on professionalism. It is through this work that
educators shape and re-shape understanding of what it means to be a
professional.
