Learning to Teach in England and the United States studies the evolution of initial teacher education by considering some of the current approaches in England and the United States. Presenting empirical evidence from these two distinct political and historical contexts, the chapters of this thought-provoking volume illustrate the tensions involved in preparing teachers who are working in ever-changing environments. Grounded in the lived experiences of those directly affected by these shifting policy environments, the book questions if reforms that have introduced accountability regimes and new kinds of partnership with the promise of improving teaching and learning, have contributed to more powerful learning experiences in schools for those entering the profession. The authors consider the relationships between global, national and local policy, and question their potential impact on the future of teacher education and teaching more generally. The research adopts an innovative methodology and sociocultural theoretical framework designed to show greater insights into the ways in which beginning teachers’ learning experiences are shaped by relationships at all of these levels. A key emerging issue is that of the alignment – or not – between the values and dispositions of the individuals and the institutions that are involved.This book will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education, comparative education, higher education, and education policy and politics.

This insightful collection offers a timely contribution to the body of research on practical theorising in teacher education. Acknowledging the importance of experience and reflective practice in teaching, this book simultaneously embraces the essential need for teachers at all career stages to engage effectively and critically with evidence from research.Drawing together a range of perspectives from university-based and school-based teacher educators, this book examines the challenges and critiques advanced when practical theorising was first proposed, as well as recent tensions created by the performative culture that now pervades education. It illustrates the constant renegotiation and renewal necessary to sustain such an approach to beginners’ learning, investigating a range of tools developed by teacher educators to help beginning teachers navigate these demands.Demonstrating the value of practical theorising and therefore promoting powerful professional learning for practitioners, this book is essential for teachers at all career stages, including trainee teachers and student teachers.

How Teacher Educators Do Policy offers an accessible and compelling account of how university‑based teacher educators in England navigated one of the most far‑reaching reforms to their profession in decades.Drawing on in‑depth interview‑conversations with leaders of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in research‑intensive universities, the book traces how the 2021–24 ITT Market Review reshaped the landscape of teacher preparation in England. It provides a clear explanation of the policy reforms, the rationale behind them, and their consequences for curriculum design, partnership working, mentoring, and professional learning. Through detailed case studies, the book illustrates how programme leaders negotiated requirements and new accreditation demands while striving to preserve the values that underpin high‑quality teacher education. The analysis is anchored in Shulman’s concept of signature pedagogies, exploring the surface, deep, and implicit structures that shape how teachers learn. International responses from renowned academics Maria Teresa Tatto, Lee Rusznyak and Sinikka Neuhaus situate the English experience within transnational debates about the purpose and politics of teacher education. This timely book offers a rich and comprehensive account of a sector undergoing profound transformation.Offering a rare insider perspective on how policy is enacted in practice, the book provides researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and international readers with fresh insights into leadership, professional agency, and the possibilities for a more critical, justice‑oriented teacher education. It is also a call-to-action, proposing a set of principles that should underpin initial teacher education in university settings.

Why is teacher education policy significant - politically, sociologically and educationally? While the importance of practice in teacher education has long been recognised, the significance of policy has only been fully appreciated more recently. Teacher education in times of change offers a critical examination of teacher education policy in the UK and Ireland over the past three decades, since the first intervention of government in the curriculum. Written by a research group from five countries, it makes international comparisons, and covers broader developments in professional learning, to place these key issues and lessons in a wider context.

This book supports all those involved in initial teacher education (ITE) and with an interest in partnership working. Such partnerships are at the heart of ITE practices, both in the UK and internationally, but more recently models of partnership have become ever more complex as a result of government reforms, the rapid diversification of routes into teaching and significant increase in the number of SCITTs. The nature of partnerships in ITE remains contested with partnership working often reduced to a series of prescriptions for effective practice, ignoring both its pedagogic potential and inherent tensions. This book surveys and critiques partnership developments in recent years and then analyses a single case study of a school that exemplifies the current complexity of ITE partnerships using both policy and practice perspectives. It concludes with a series of principles that might underpin effective partnership working.
