Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The international attempt to expand schooling, despite dealing with an insufficient number of trained teachers, has placed significant pressure on teacher education. Continued effort to change all aspects of teacher education, including ways of learning, methods of practice, institution interaction, and assessment of teaching ability, in order to fulfil the desire to offer inclusive and equitable teaching for all, is a serious consideration.

In response to this increased attention on cross-national campaigns, Leading Change in Teacher Education features discussions covering what has been done, how and why the change has happened, the journey itself, and the challenges encountered along the way, alongside contributions from international academics who share their reflections and suggestions for a way forward, despite a global shortage of teachers.

Strategies surrounding the design and delivery of education now centre on improving how teachers are prepared, supported, and evaluated. Leading Change in Teacher Education captures the stories of international change leaders by:

  • Providing details of both the successes and challenges faced
  • Presenting innovative practices in teacher education from around the world
  • Describing the strategies put in place to ensure that teacher education is developing

The topics discussed are relevant for educators, policymakers, and international organisations involved in the design and implementation of programmes in teacher education. Leading Change in Teacher Education is also an invaluable resource for those looking to increase the changes occurring within teacher education.
