Rising to the challenge of teacher education to prepare teachers for today’s world
The world we live in faces extraordinary challenges of global change, including political populism, prejudice, the climate crisis, physical conflict, migration and socioeconomic inequality. Teachers have a key role in responding to these challenges since they have the responsibility of educating the children and young people who will live in and lead this world for years to come. Consequently, the responsibility extends to teacher educators, whose role is essential to the development of teachers as agentive professionals, capable of transformational impacts on learners.
Edited by academics at the Centre for Teachers and Teaching Research at IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, this special feature show-cases high-quality papers that address the work of teacher educators in contributing to the formation of agentic practitioners and their capacities to challenge the inequalities faced by the children and young people they teach and prepare them for the future.
Publication date: From December 2022 - September 2023.
