From the people who turned teacher education on its ear in Australia in
2001 comes a text about preparing the next generation of teachers.
Richard Smith and David Lynch, two of Australia's leading teacher
education researchers and the architects of the acclaimed Bachelor of
Learning Management program (BLM), take their previously published ideas
about teaching and teacher education further to detail a new paradigm in
the preparation of teachers. Drawing on 30 years of teacher education
research and their own experiences in redeveloping teacher education in
Australia, Smith and Lynch explore what it means to be a teacher in the
2000s, outlining a new vision for the preparation of teachers in a
Knowledge Age.
