Using a framework for collaborative teacher educator learning to develop the initial teacher education curriculum

Abstract

School-based and university-based teacher educators within partnerships have the potential to transform the practice of initial teacher education (ITE) through learning together. Using the working model of Perry et al. (2019) for the curriculum for ITE, this piece considers five principles that can facilitate teacher educator partnership learning: multilevel working; synergy; a collaborative stance; flexibility; and sustainability. Together, these principles are a framework for collaborative teacher educator learning.
