Teacher Education
Description
This book, an inaugural publication from the Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA),
Teacher Education: Innovation, Intervention and Impact
is both a product of, and seeks to contribute to, the changing global and political times in teacher education research. This book marks an historically significant shift in the collective work and outreach of the Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA) as it endeavours to become an even more active contributor to a research-rich foundation for initial teacher education and to a research-informed teaching profession. The book showcases teacher education research and scholarship from a wide range of institutional collaborations across Australia. Studies highlight the multiple ways in which teacher education researchers are engaging with students, teachers, schools and communities to best prepare future teachers. It informs both teacher education policy and practice and is 'a must read' for those engaged in the education community. Above all it marks a shift for teacher educators to build a research rich teaching profession.
