What does the best teacher education program look like? How should we look at the area of attracting the best teachers at teacher education program and at the schools? How should we look at the area of recruitment into teacher education at different stages of a teacher’s career and into the teaching profession? This book answers these questions, demonstrating that policy, professionalism, and pedagogy are integral to the development of the best teachers that our students deserve. The empirical quantitative and qualitative studies and narratives presented in this volume show that strong analyses are needed to drive decisions on policy and practice.
