Transforming Teacher Education

The 1st Edition of Transforming Teacher Education: Reconfiguring the Academic Work, written by Viv Ellis and Jane McNicholl, details the precise professional responsibilities of university and college faculty who direct teacher learning. This textbook examines how higher education instructors structure daily academic duties to support candidate educators entering the profession.

Ellis and McNicholl present an evidence-based agenda to address current structural limitations in educator preparation. By grounding future operational designs in social science research and teacher learning scholarship, the authors demonstrate how academic restructuring can generate meaningful research outcomes alongside effective instructional support.

Designed for teacher educators, university faculty, and educational researchers, this volume outlines pathways toward systemic professional renewal. It provides higher education professionals with practical frameworks for aligning institutional academic work with rigorous empirical research standards.
