This book offers a theoretically and empirically robust account of what
is known about the effective approaches that translate theory to
practice in teacher education, presenting evidence from case studies
from a diverse range of contexts informed by various methodological
foundations. It also provides accounts that support teacher educators
involved in both school and university based teacher education.
The book offers insights into the translation of theory to practice from
the long history of teacher education, the benefit of diverse approaches
in terms of the effectiveness of initial teacher education, and the
impact of professional standards.
