International Teacher Education

The pedagogies presented in this book call for a curriculum that engages teachers in a constant dialogue of content and context. International contributors consider practical issues within the context of political factors and public opinion impacting teacher education around the world. Chapters are grouped into sections on four themes: pedagogies of working with multimodalities, pedagogies of partnerships and communities, pedagogies of teacher assessment, and vehicles of teacher education research and dissemination. Some specific topics explored include the University of Bari’s experience of the multimodal laboratory, faith communities and community engagement-based teacher education, evaluating teacher education in China, teacher education policy development in Canada, and Israel’s Mofet Institute.
