The chapters in this Yearbook are examples of ways to study the power of teacher education. They describe practices of teacher education based on theory, research, and experience and then assess influences of these practices. These research findings become part of the knowledge base on good teacher education.
The focus of this edited Yearbook is continuing teacher education and professional development. The book is divided into four sections, each dealing with different aspects in these subjects. Included are chapters on partnerships and collaboration, participatory research and development, teacher risk-taking and mentoring, and many other perspectives.
