Abstract

For many years and for many nations around the world, teacher education has been a key site of educational reform and policy action. This chapter takes a critical approach toward understanding policy making and policy construction by taking a “problems” approach to policy analysis. The chapter identifies some key policy initiatives in teacher education and some contemporary policy “problems.” It concludes with a call for greater scrutiny of the justifications made for educational policy reform if we are to better understand the direction of teacher education in the years to come.
