This book examines agentic approaches by which teacher educators navigate a highly regulated environment. It investigates how teacher educators are responding to such regulation by employing approaches such as exploratory and case study research designs. This book analyzes qualitative and quantitative data to understand the diverse, innovative and critical perspectives of teacher educators who are guided by state and federal level initiatives to enhance the quality Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs. Prominent educational theoretical perspectives are also used in this book to inform data analysis and to illuminate the empirically based findings. This book showcases research-informed insights for the global education community from leading researchers from across a number of teacher education institutions, locally and otherwise. By adopting an ‘activist’ approach, this book positions teacher educators’ research and contribution to the field as agentive and pro-active.

One of the greatest resources a school has is its staff. How teachers themselves, and their work, are defined are therefore matters of utmost importance. Major trends of increased control and 'new mangerialism' are occurring in most OECD countries, radically altering both the content and form of teacher education. This book outlines recent changes in teacher education and professional development and, by drawing on recent research findings, explores the positive and negative impacts on the nature of teaching and the shape of the profession.

This book maps out a new paradigm of teacher education an, by implication, professional education generally. The book opens with two alternative theories of teacher education and training and explains the concepts and assumptions on which they rest including beliefs about the nature and role of education in society. It then proposes a 'natural science' paradigm and its implications for establishing a coherent view of teacher education. Subsequent chapters indicate the professional implications of such a model.

Drawing on wide ranging research this book, originally published in 1997, explores how the policy changes of previous years were affecting primary teachers and their work at the time. Within the context of worldwide restructuring, the thoughts, feelings and activities of teachers in their daily work are examined. The core argument is that what used to be a complex but fulfilling job distinguished by professional dilemmas, which are amenable to professional skill, had become increasingly marked by tension and constraint, which frustrates teacher creativity. While some teachers found new opportunities in the ‘new’ primary school, many used strategical and micro-political activity in order to cope, while others fell victim to stress and burnout. The authors argue that teachers’ own active involvement in policy change is required if their creative potential is to be realized. The book will still be of interest to teachers in primary schools, researchers and policy makers.

This is a reflection on the education of teachers, written by teacher educators who discuss features of their work and the challenges facing teacher education in the 1990s. The book invites the reader to attempt similar analyses of personal practice and development in their own teaching.; The book deals with the personal development of both new and experienced teacher educators, illustrating how strongly teacher educators are influenced by their visions and by the challenge to prove themselves in the university setting. In addition, the book examines the ways in which teacher educators have acted to promote their own professional development and study their own practices, including writing as a tool for reflection, a life-history approach to self-study, as well as a study of educative relationships with others, and the analysis of a personal return to the classroom. Finally, it takes a broader look at the professional development of teacher educators and offers a challenge to all teacher educators to consider the tension between rigour and relevance.

RECONSTRUCTING THE TEACHER The challenges, rhetoric and reality of performance management in South Australian schools A resource for teachers and teacher-researchers The central focus of this book; resultant of a PhD investigative study on teachers' work; is to advance critical knowledge regarding issues pertaining to educational policy, current bureaucratic changes to teacher evaluation and teachers' stances in relation to these changes in evaluation. Specifically, the book examines issues relating to teacher evaluation within the Performance management policy (Department of Education and Childrens Services) currently being implemented in South Australian public schools. The intent here is to ask: what is the process of evaluation doing to teachers' work? To pursue this, the author examines the experiences of a group of South Australian teachers, and uses notions of performativity and fabrication from the literature to try and make sense of and explain the present system of teacher evaluation. Simply stated, performativity refers here to a technology, a culture and a mode of regulation that employs judgements, comparisons and displays as means of control, attrition and change', while fabrications are those perverse forms of response/resistance to and accommodation of performativity'. More specifically, the author asks: How does what occurs within present forms of teacher evaluation amount to forms of performativity and fabrication? What particular form do these performativities and fabrications take in teacher evaluation? Why are some teachers more susceptible to incorporation into these regimes than others, and hence more compliant? How does performativity and fabrication operate to shape the work of teaching and influence the nature of teaching? To what extent does the Department of Education and Childrens Service's performance management policy predispose teachers to engage in performativity and fabrication? Hence, the author argues that teachers are presently subject to new managerialist modes of control based on marketisation, corporatisation and globalisation and the book highlights first-hand accounts of how the actions of teachers amount to accommodating or resisting these strategies of control and power. Thus, in order to fully comprehend what was occurring, some analysis was necessary of the changing context of teachers' work because it is impossible to understand something as complex as the changes currently being visited upon schools without also understanding something of the wider forces making things the way they are'. The author adopts a critical policy paradigm and develops a dialectical theory-building approach based on the writings of Foucault, Lyotard, Butler and Ball. These approaches are used to analyse performance management approaches in public schools in the South Australian context in order to make wider sense of what is happening to teachers' work and its impact upon the nature and form of teacher evaluation. Methodologically, the author uses a critical ethnographic approach to narrate and interpret teachers' stories about the evaluation process. These stories, which he represents in vignettes, are illustrative of policy experiences, and show the various ways in which performance management as policy is received, enacted and/or resisted by teachers. In essence, the book also endeavours to contribute to the small but growing body of work that amplifies the voices of teachers. The use of vignettes is based on a view that having conversations is an important percussor to helping teachers reclaim their voices in the policy process. Much existing educational research has taken teachers' work for granted or ignored the voices of teachers entirely. The author maintains that teachers have been inadequately represented or systematically silenced in research concerning their evaluation experiences and how their ideas might shape future evaluation reform. In essence, this boo

This is the second book in the series Transformative Pedagogies for Teacher Education. Like the first book in the series it is geared towards practitioners in the field of teacher education. This second book focuses on action, agency and dialogue. It features chapters by a collection of teacher educators, researchers, teacher advocates and practitioners drawing on their research and experiences with teacher candidates to explore critical issues in teacher education. The book will be useful to teacher educators working with teacher candidates in different contexts, particularly diverse contexts. Given demographic shifts and the need for educators to respond to growing diversity in schools, educators will find valuable strategies in Transformative Pedagogies in Teacher Education: Critical Action, Agency and Dialogue in Teaching and Learning Contexts they can implement in their own practice. In addition to valuable strategies, authors explore different approaches and perspectives in teacher education in the preparation of teacher candidates for a changing world. Critical notions of education are posited from different perspectives and locations. This book will be useful for schools, school boards and districts engaging in ongoing professional development of teachers. It will also be of value to school leaders and aspiring leaders in principal preparation programs as working with new teachers and teacher educators is an integral part of their role.

This book is a review of more than twenty years of international research on teacher educators. It offers a solid overview of what is known about the professional roles, professional behaviour and professional development of teacher educators. A systematic analysis of the focus, methods and data sources of 137 key publications on teacher educators make this book into an important reference work for everyone interested in the work of and research on teacher educators. There is a growing consensus that teacher educators largely determine the quality of teachers and hence, the quality of education. Through this book, Lunenberg, Dengerink and Korthagen provide not only insights into the various roles of teacher educators and the complexity of their work, but they also discuss building blocks for ongoing structured and in-depth professional development. The authors clarify that if we wish to take ‘being a teacher educator’ seriously, it is imperative that we build our understanding on research data. The book shows that although the number of studies on teacher educators is growing, the research in this field is still scattered. The authors highlight the need to create a coherent research programme on teacher educators and provide concrete suggestions for such a programme.

This book presents recent international research on how teacher educators, institutions and policy makers perceive, act on and experience the dual responsibility that teacher educators are required to develop. Teacher educators are both teachers and researchers, a hybrid position which might be challenging to fulfil. Teacher education has attracted much research over the years. It has also been subject to national and international debates about its goals and core features as well as issues of quality and effectiveness. More recently, attention has been given to the work, identity and professional development of teacher educators. The various chapters in the book address the topic of teacher educators as teachers and researchers in diverse countries and contexts, namely Australia, Belgium, England, Ireland, Israel, Portugal, Norway and the USA. Collectively, the authors examine the work of teacher educators considering their core mission, their professional development opportunities and the demands and needs of their working contexts. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of the European Journal of Teacher Education.
