Innovations in Teacher Education

A Review of Recent Literature

Innovations encompass all phases of teacher education, with emphases on induction activities for new teachers and inservice activities which create new roles for experienced ones; they involve collaborative, integrative, reflective, experiential, and inquiry-oriented practices; and they emphasize teachers as leaders in their own development and schools as learning places for all. Complex networking of institutional structures enriches school-based teacher development; other innovations aim to improve teacher education practices, and change working and learning conditions; some are guided by a vision of teachers as reformers. The report concentrates more on the state of innovative activity, with only general references to the prevalence and impact of these changes.

Teacher Learning in Language Teaching

This book introduces a new field of educational research called teacher learning, as it applies to the teaching of languages. Up until recently, the study of second language teacher education has focused mainly on the knowledge base and specific skills needed for effective teaching. This book invites us to look at teacher education from a fresh point of view, through an exploration of the thinking and learning processes of individuals as they learn to teach. Seventeen original articles, based on studies done in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, provide examples of pioneering research into the ways that individuals learn to teach languages, and the roles that previous experience, social context, and professional training play in the process. The collection thus helps establish a research base for this newly developing field.

Interdisciplinary Approaches Toward Enhancing Teacher Education

Regardless of the discipline or country, creating quality education is multifaceted. At the center of any schooling practice are the educators, their schools, and the teacher education programs that license them.
