Breaking the Mold of Preservice and Inservice Teacher Education addresses enduring issues of teachers' professional learning. Teachers' learning is intimately connected with the learning of their students and how to prepare and support teachers in their work in increasingly diverse and challenging classrooms is of fundamental importance. It has never been more so when accountability mechanisms can constrain teacher creativity. This volume explores questions about the relationship of theory and practice and is concerned about the purposes of education as well as the best ways to help teachers think about and practice their teaching. These are global issues and it is heartening to see contributions from around the world from a range of perspectives.
