This insightful collection offers a timely contribution to the body of research on practical theorising in teacher education. Acknowledging the importance of experience and reflective practice in teaching, this book simultaneously embraces the essential need for teachers at all career stages to engage effectively and critically with evidence from research. Drawing together a range of perspectives from university-based and school-based teacher educators, this book examines the challenges and critiques advanced when practical theorising was first proposed, as well as recent tensions created by the performative culture that now pervades education. It illustrates the constant renegotiation and renewal necessary to sustain such an approach to beginners’ learning, investigating a range of tools developed by teacher educators to help beginning teachers navigate these demands. Demonstrating the value of practical theorising and therefore promoting powerful professional learning for practitioners, this book is essential for teachers at all career stages, including trainee teachers and student teachers.

First Published in 1989 Teacher education through classroom evaluation is about the IT- INSET (Initial Training- In-Service Education and Training) approach to improving children’s learning. It argues that continuous improvement depends upon the quality of teachers’ theorising about learning and teaching. With help of case studies, it discusses important themes like evaluation strategy; IT- INSET in practice; the benefits of IT- INSET; influence of training institutions; helping and hindering factors and the present and future of IT- INSET, to showcase that IT-INSET represents both a philosophy of teacher education and a school-based programme of collaborative evaluation. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of education.
