Responsive Teacher Education, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Teacher education is facing unprecedented challenges: from teacher shortages and shifting policy landscapes, to the rapid expansion of digital learning. This book serves as a continuation of key themes discussed at the 2024 ATEE Annual Conference in Budapest, Teacher Education on the Move, and explores how the field is responding to these challenges. Bringing together international perspectives, it examines how moments of crisis can become catalysts for innovation, renewal, and meaningful transformation in teaching and teacher education.

The book comprises ten chapters written by scholars and practitioners working across a wide range of geo-political contexts. It explores key movements within and beyond teacher education: developing alternative pathways to addressing teacher shortages; adopting research-informed approaches to teacher education; embracing reflexivity and improvisation within the role of the teacher; and embedding online teaching and learning longer term. Rather than frame crises solely as obstacles to overcome, the authors instead handle them as pivotal moments for rethinking assumptions, disrupting routines, and exploring new possibilities for teacher education.

By gathering diverse voices, topics, and research methodologies, this book offers not just a repository of knowledge, but a dynamic resource for researchers, teacher educators, student teachers, teachers, and educational leaders who seek robust, research-informed insights to inspire their efforts in modernising teaching and teacher education. Ultimately, it aims to support the teacher education community in becoming resilient in adapting to change within the field, as well as actively contributing to positive transformations in wider society.
