This book describes problematises and theorises professional practice research in a range of
Australian settings to provide evidence of robust wide-ranging and contemporary approaches to
professional experience in initial teacher education. It presents the latest research and
evidence from those currently involved in innovative programmes designed to provide
alternatives to meet local challenges during professional experience in teacher education. As
the professional experience process is framed quite differently across Australian teacher
education programmes these cross-institutional accounts of collaboration innovation and
success make a major contribution to the field both nationally and internationally. The book
was developed from a research workshop funded by an Australian Association for Research in
Education grant and organised by the Teacher Education Research and Innovation Special Interest
Group.
