Developing Competent Teachers: Approaches to Professional Competence in Teacher Education

First published in 1996, Developing Competent Teachers aims to explore the implications of different ways of thinking about the professional competences of teachers. It does so through case studies of competence frameworks used in a number of teacher education contexts – and, for comparative insights, in social work, nursing and police training. The intended readership is all involved in teacher education: in particular, Higher Education tutors; mentors and senior staff in schools.
