Editorial Reviews

Reports on a British study of how teacher education has been impacted by the new policy in which student teachers spend two- thirds of their time in schools, thus shifting much of the responsibility from the colleges to the schools. Among the factors considered are the organization of the work within the schools; recruiting, training, and rewarding staff; the effect on pupils, other staff, and parents; and the experience of the student teachers themselves.
