(The changes in the education system of England and Wales ...)
The changes in the education system of England and Wales since 1988 have had enormous implications for lifelong teacher training. More people than ever before, in schools, in higher education and in local authorities, are now responsible for teachers' professional development, and the rapid changes have necessitated rapid responses. "Developing Teachers Professionally" is a collection of articles by authors involved in pre-service and continuing education of teachers. The contributors look critically and constructively at the changing world of teacher education. Each contribution shows how a commitment to collaboration and quality can produce truly professional development for teachers throughout their careers. This collection of some of the latest and most positive thinking in the field should appeal to everyone responsible for developing teachers' professionalism.
