Abstract

Abstract: The paper examines the changes which have taken place in the delivery, content and validation and accreditation of teacher education in Scotland. Particular attention is paid to the impact of external and internal changes on the development of new course structures and the strengthening of linkages between the initial stage of a teacher's professional career and on continuing professional development. The impact of these changes on those who are teacher educators are also explored.
