47.022 - Current and Future Directions in Teacher Education Across the Globe

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Change is a core tenet of education, particularly in K-12 and teacher education. In this symposium coordinated by the Association of Canadian Deans of Education, five deans of education from around the Globe will tackle two key questions related to continuous change: What are the current issues facing Education programs in your part of the world? And what are your predictions about major issues facing education/teaching education across the globe in the next ten years? Issues such as adaptability, inclusivity, teacher value and demand (trans-national trends), Indigenous education, and technology in education will be part of the conversation as deans of education make predictions about compelling issues of the near future, and respond to participant questions and comments.
