Teacher training is a topic that has not attracted the attention it deserves, at least until recently. Now it is becoming clear that despite all the teacher training, credentialing, and annual evaluations that teachers have undergone for years, there are enormous difference is effectiveness among fully qualified and experienced teachers. The pedagogical concepts in which teachers are indoctrinated shape the education community’s preference for schooling that is relatively ineffective and inefficient. Teacher training has to suit the needs and demands of the modern world. Many countries have realised the need for redefining teachers’ roles and have responded by launching innovative teacher training programmes. This book describes the problems and methods of teacher training. It explores the short-comings of teacher education and proposes design principles for rethinking teacher preparation. It is hoped that this book will prove useful to teaching departments and institutions, teachers of educational administrations and all those concerned.
