Description: Debates about what constitutes quality in initial teacher education have resulted in a series of quality conundrums that have to be unravelled by teacher educators. Using the lens of scale and adopting a new approach to understanding quality this book draws upon empirical research into five large - scale high - quality university - based teacher education providers in Australia Canada England New Zealand and the US. The resulting model of initial teacher education practice shows how ideological concepts and accountability structures around teacher education are in constant tension with operational realities. The book explores how successful large - scale providers have reconciled those tensions and conundrums to ensure their provision is consistently high quality. The accounts also present a robust defence for university - based teacher education. The practice - based accounts of how tensions around quality and scale are being reconciled reveal the competing discourses around teacher professionalism research and the role of the university in teacher education. The analysis presented promises to change the way we view high - quality teacher education across all providers and international contexts not just those of large scale. This book will be of great interest to teacher educators policymakers and educational leaders.
