Intercultural Studies of Teacher Education

This book examines teacher education from an intercultural perspective. Giving voice to teacher educators across the globe, the editors draw together authoritative cross-cultural accounts of teacher education, and what educators themselves consider to be salient themes in the preparation and progression of teachers. The book asks, and answers, the question of what exactly constitutes teacher education and development. Including case studies from five continents and 21 countries, the volume focuses on less on similarities and differences across contexts of teacher education, and more on what can be learnt from examining teacher education and development across different geographic locales.
