It is clear that teacher educators have ongoing professional learning
and development needs. Chief among these are continuing to learn about
content developments and pedagogical practices useful for teaching a
range of PK-12 students in varying contexts; developing reflective
competencies and sets of practices useful for teaching teacher
candidates about teaching; effectively balancing teaching commitments
with institutional expectations for scholarship and service; and
forging useful understandings of identity across the spectrum of
teacher educator responsibility and development over time, including
taking on managerial or administrative roles. Working in institutions
largely devoid of formal support mechanisms, teacher educators are
often left on their own to meet these needs and subsequently must
create or seek out opportunities for their ongoing growth. This volume
explores in greater depth how exactly teacher educators engage in
professional learning and development across their career
trajectories. University-based teacher educator learning occurs in a
range of settings and across the career span. Contributors to this
volume describe university-based teacher educator learning spaces
focused on their ongoing professional learning. Such spaces include
teacher educator communities of practice, critical friendships,
self-study learning groups, faculty learning groups, co-mentoring, and
institutionally sponsored professional learning spaces.
