Abstract

This literature review was commissioned by the Education Analytical Services Division ( EASD) of the Scottish Government and forms part of a larger programme of work contributing to the Review of Teacher Education in Scotland ( RTES). The RTES is examining how the current system of educating teachers equips teachers throughout their professional career to respond to curriculum change and meet the needs of pupils in the 21st century. The overall aim of this literature review is 'to understand the contribution that teacher education can make to the quality and effectiveness of the educational experience and wider personal development of young people, drawing on effective practice in Scotland and elsewhere'.
