Beskrivning

This collection reimagines how we prepare the next generation of teachers in an era dominated by policy intensification, curriculum prescription, and measurable ‘teacher quality’. Instead of positioning initial teacher education (ITE) as a process of compliance and standardisation, the editors showcase critical research-informed practices that centre relational and creative approaches to teaching and learning.Across the chapters, teacher educators discuss research-informed approaches that embed cultural responsiveness, social justice, equity, professional wellbeing, and sustainability into teacher preparation. By presenting concrete, practice-focused examples, the book demonstrates how ITE can prepare teachers not only for the classroom but also for the complex ethical, relational, and cultural demands of schooling today. Written in short, accessible chapters, the collection offers clear insights and actionable ideas for integrating research into practice. Readers will gain practical strategies, conceptual clarity, and renewed purpose for shaping teaching and learning in ITE.A must-read for Australian scholars and practitioners in teacher education seeking to deepen their understanding of research-informed practice, the book will also inspire preservice teachers, graduate educators, and education leaders who want to reimagine teacher preparation for the kind of teachers our children deserve.

Recensioner i media

“This book offers a compelling and timely rethinking of teacher education, challenging reductive compliance cultures while affirming the intellectual, ethical, and relational foundations of teaching. It synthesises critical scholarship with practical insight, providing a powerful framework for reimagining ITE based on the right types of professionalism and accountability.”-Professor Theresa (Terri) Bourke, Dean and Head of School, School of Education, Faculty of Creative Industries, Education and Social Justice, QUT“Teacher educators, doctoral researchers, policymakers and school leaders wrestling with standards driven accountability measures will find this book a helpful and energising read — one that restores confidence in professional judgement as the heart of good teacher preparation, not an obstacle to it.”-Pat Thomson, Professor Emerita University of Nottingham, Professor of Education, Adelaide University
