Text back of book ‘Becoming a Teacher Educator’<>
Becoming a Teacher Educator is essential reading for teacher educators. The book provides insights, models and examples for teacher educators who want to understand the complex field of teacher education and the various tasks and roles of teacher educators. The book also serves as a guide for those who supervise novice teacher educators and for professionals who are responsible for the professional development of teacher educators.
Becoming a Teacher Educator consists of four parts: Changing contexts of teacher education, Induction of teacher educators, Aspects of the work of teacher educators and Teacher educators as researchers.
Becoming a Teacher Educator is rooted in the Association of Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) and many of the chapters are written by authors who are active members of the ATEE. Distinguished researchers and practitioners from different parts of Europe, and beyond, joined their efforts to write a book that is truly international and combines research, practice and reflection.
“There is a growing need for evidence-based resources made available to (future) teacher educators. Since a learning society requires new sets of competencies of the main actors, we are most in want of knowledgeable teacher educators that support the professional development of their (student) teachers. This book fits the actual demands.”
(Dr. Joost Lowyck, Professor Emeritus, former director of the Teacher Education Institute, Leuven University).
“This is an original book in a very important area. The editors define the concept of ‘teacher educator’ widely and I think, therefore, that the book is relevant for schools, higher education, and education authorities of all kinds. The authorship and theme have wide relevance across Europe, Australasia and North America.” (Prof. Bob Moon, Professor in Education Teaching Studies, Department of Education, Open University, UK).
"I just came back from Tel Aviv to the United States. I have not stopped talking about the conference. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart about the reception and the way you and all the other staff took care of us. I know it takes a lot of work to organize such an event. What was remarkable was the fact that everything went smoothly. The sessions were well organized. The rooms were clearly marked. The technological equipment worked very well. The ushers were pleasant and always ready to help. The food was excellent. I was delighted by Dr. Shagrir's presentation about The MOFET Institute. I am in the process of organizing a US MOFET network so that we can work together in the future. I am looking forward to coming back. Again thank you very much for everything. Toda."
(The Fifth International Conference on Teacher Education "Teacher Education at a Crossroads", July 2007)
"Dear Wonderful Colleagues in Israel, First and foremost, on behalf of me and my colleagues, I want to thank you for the most excellent conference and all you did to make our stay in Israel such an incredible experience. We all found it to be one of the most meaningful conferences we have ever had a chance to participate in, and we have brought back to GMU so many rich connections, ideas, and perspectives. So, we would like to thank you and all the conference committee there at MOFET and at Kaye College for your work, your care, and all you did to prepare for us. Your efforts are deeply appreciated and will carry many positive reverberations in times ahead."
