Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing teacher education in all its complexity is fundamental to ensuring that all students reach their potential in today's increasingly diverse classrooms and rapidly changing environment. This report provides insight into key features of selected teacher preparation systems by analysing the information collected in the OECD Initial Teacher Preparation (ITP) study. The ITP study investigated the policy environments of the first phase of continuous teacher learning in seven countries to identify challenges, strengths and innovations: Australia, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, the United States and Wales (United Kingdom). A Flying Start: Improving Initial Teacher Preparation Systems describes the challenges of designing and sustaining initial teacher preparation systems and proposes strategies for different levels of the system (policy, teacher education institutions and schools), based on both international evidence and practices identified in the study. The report can therefore act as a resource for policy makers, teacher educators, educational leaders, teachers and the research community

Download or read book Critical Issues in Early Childhood Teacher Education written by Miranda Lin and published by IAP. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there have been significant changes in education across the globe, largely as a result of changing demographics, technological developments, and increased globalization. Relatedly, the changing needs of societies and families, along with new research findings, provide new directions in early childhood education. Consequently, early childhood teachers today are faced with higher and more complex expectations to help ensure that their students achieve their full potential. Such expectations suggest that early childhood teachers should be professionals who are able to draw on a robust knowledge base in making educational decisions. It follows that teacher education programs should develop and implement innovative programs that can potentially enhance the quality of our future teachers. An awareness of pressing issues in the field of early childhood teacher education led the editors to develop this volume. The chapters in these two volumes bring together scholars from across the US and the globe who are interested in improving the quality of early childhood teacher education. The chapters present their experiences, perspectives, and lessons learned as they addressed some of the challenging issues concerning the education and preparation of future early childhood teachers. The various issues and perspectives from different states in the US or countries across the globe provide insights into current issues and dilemmas facing the field. The contributions of these scholars should inform the discourse on early childhood teacher education and help those who work with preservice teachers improve the quality of their work.

Download or read book Teacher Education Policy written by Rob McBride and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To improve schools we need to improve teachers. This volume provides recent research evidence that suggests that current education policy is not Promoting Effective Teacher Education And That Teacher Education Policy has: failed to support the formation of professional partnerships in initial teacher education; has almost ignored the induction of newly qualified teachers; and has narrowed in-service education into support for the implementation of central policy.; The evidence gathered in this book is used to argue for new forms of teacher education in every phase, built upon the foundation of professional partnership between schools and institutions of higher education. It is suggested that the funding for such changes could be drawn from less effective forms of school improvement, such as National Curriculum development and school inspection. With the implementation of such changes, it is argued, good quality teacher education programmes would prosper and foster a broad concensus about educational development that is often absent.

Download or read book The Impact of Covid 19 on Initial Teacher Training written by Jack Worth and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Covid-19 recession has led to a surge in initial teacher training (ITT) applications Before the Covid-19 pandemic, England's school system was facing an increasingly severe challenge of recruiting enough trainees to ITT to meet growing teacher demand. The 2020 recession has led to the number of new applicants to postgraduate teacher training in England and Wales increasing sharply, because teaching is seen as offering secure employment when unemployment is high. Covid-19 has led some schools to reduce or withdraw training placement offers and an overall reduction in placement capacity More trainees in 2020/21 means that more school-based placements were needed to train them to teach in schools. Further, due to disrupted training in 2019/20, some trainees need to complete another placement in the autumn term to demonstrate that they meet the Teachers' Standards. However, NFER's nationally-representative senior leader survey in July 2020 shows that some schools reduced or withdrew placement offers due to Covid-19. Teacher retention is likely to increase due to the recession, which has implications for how many trainee teachers the system needs NFER's nationally-representative teacher survey in July 2020 shows that the proportion of teachers that were considering leaving in the next 12 months in July 2020 was substantially lower than in June 2019. Such a substantial fall in the proportion considering leaving is unlikely to be fully reflected in actual leaving rates, but nonetheless indicates that retention is likely to improve in 2020/21.
