Shifting the Culture of Out-of-field Professional Education for Teachers

Shifting the Culture of Out-of-field Professional Education for Teachers interested in quality professional education (PE) and proposes an ecological framework of PE for out-of-field teachers. The framework accounts for current practices, cultural norms, and system settings; describes an ideal PE ecosystem that values re-specialisation; and identifies principles to inform policy and practice needed to attain the ideal. This evidence-based framing of PE will inform efforts by schools, PE providers and policy makers to sustain a highly capable, adaptive and specialised teaching workforce
