Description
In today's increasingly culturally and socially diverse society, there is a need for teacher education to keep abreast of current trends. Verma aims to provide a basic introduction to the issues of inequality in teacher education affecting many of today's societies. It is obvious that in spite of the vast amount of time and effort given to this over the last two decades, very little progress has been made. In this climate, the authors of this book attempt to highlight examples of good practice worldwide, demonstrating how such practice can be maintained and enhanced. This book is intended for teachers in initial and in-service training, teacher trainers and administrators.
