So, What About the Professional Development of Teacher Educators?
Smith, Kari
European Journal of Teacher Education, v26 n2 p201-15 2003
Discusses incentives for teacher educators to engage in professional development, proposing examples of how teacher educators' professional development is initiated by individual teacher educators and occurs outside the teacher education institution and suggesting that systematic professional development is needed within the teacher education institution as an integrated part of teacher educators' work responsibilities. Problems related to professional development are highlighted (e.g., time, part-time employment, and fear of change). (SM)
