Redesigning Teacher Education

This year 2000 edition of Teaching Education marks a number of changes. It is the second decade of Teaching Education (TE) since its founding 10 volumes ago by Dan Marshall, Jim Sears and colleagues. It is our first as editors, working with Carfax Publishing, Taylor & Francis. It also marks a move from TE’ s editorial homes at the University of South Carolina, Pennsylvania State University and Wright State University to the University of Queensland, Australia. We thank all the editors, production, subscription and design staff, editorial board members, reviewers, columnists and contributors for 10 years of a uniquely generative  “scholarly journal written for and by reflective practitioners”.We will maintain its traditions of scholarship and relevance, but also its commitment to intellectual and community diversity and to social advocacy. Teaching Education has been different: it has deliberately, polemically attempted to push the fields of teacher education in new directions, into collisions with other kinds of knowledge, theory and practice, into other, visionary forms of teacher education. For us, the task is to make it different again: to take up the challenges of uncertain cultures and risky economies, strange technologies and alien students, of new educational and political relationships between institutions, governments, communities and each other. In short: to figure out what our work as teachers and teacher educators should be in new times.© Graduate School of Education, University of Queensland
