New Ideas for Teacher Education

This text examines the way teacher education is moving forward in the current climate of change. The book uses the context of mathematics teaching, yet the suggestions have a relevance to everyone involved in initial teacher education. It points to a new model of teacher education, requiring schools and universities to work in partnership to plan an integrated and coherent set of experiences for student teachers. Within the model, university tutors and school mentors have distinct roles in helping each student teacher to learn about teaching in an active and questioning way.
