Description
The authors investigate the complex role played by governments in supporting teacher education, strengthening programme quality, in constructing policies around institutional development and accountability, and in controlling educational development through standards and external evaluations. Beyond these broad themes, the book focuses on interesting periods and issues surrounding teacher education development throughout Chilean history. It recalls the early twentieth century emergence of a strong professional teacher movement, and dedicates a specific chapter to the role of women in teacher education. The authors also offer insight into the role of inclusive preparation, and the limited options for indigenous people in this respect. This book will be valuable to researchers and professionals interested in comparative teacher education issues and policy developments.
