The aim of this book is to bring together a set of chapters that, individually and collectively, raise the question of teacher education in a critical and thought provoking way. Those involved in teacher education are acutely aware of how contentious an issue the production of teachers has become. The debate has been held both inside and outside the profession, with academic contributions from those who have spent a lifetime in education or teacher training and political contributions from those for whom teacher education is a very recent issue.
