Learning Teaching from Teachers: Realising the Potential of School-based Teacher Education (Developing Teacher Education)

The move to school-based initial teacher education has opened up exciting opportunities for student teachers to learn from practising teachers' expertise. Exploiting these opportunities is not, however, straightforward since much of that expertise is embedded in practice and rarely articulated. This book explores the implications of different approaches to helping student teachers to learn from practising teachers. It will be a key text for all teacher educators, including school based mentors. It will also be important reading for teachers involved in Masters courses in mentoring and teacher education.
