Preparing Teachers for Social Change: Teacher Education at a Crossroad (1) (Routledge Research in Teacher Education)

Synopsis

This book critically evaluates the dynamic landscape of teacher education on a global scale, delving into its recent advancements, innovations, and emerging paradigms. Recognizing the need to arm teachers with the capacity to address contemporary challenges, the authors emphasize inventive approaches within teacher education that can foster the ability to confront problems such as unprecedented inequality, resurgence of ultra-right movements, environmental crises, and the interconnected dilemmas of today's world.By analysing the intricacies, strengths, and limitations inherent in existing teacher education models, Dadvand, Lampert, and Brooks and their contributors examine current frameworks and consider the potential and drawbacks in preparing educators to effectively tackle multifaceted challenges. The chapters focus on the opportunities and limitations presented by ongoing trends in Initial Teacher Education, particularly in relation to the most urgent issues of our time.This valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers is an essential read for anyone committed to fostering social justice and inclusive education and seeking to equip educators for the challenges of today's world.
