1 00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:09,280 It's in the public setting office on future generations and future education research policy and practise. 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,340 And I think we're delighted to be introducing speaker for this evening, Brian Mann, 3 00:00:15,340 --> 00:00:21,670 who's whose teacher education in the department and also convenor of the Pedagogy, 4 00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:27,970 Learning and Knowledge Research, building on three research thesis of the conference. 5 00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:39,580 Prior to joining the conference, Diane was the personal education as dean of education and social work in Australia at the University of Sydney, 6 00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:50,560 where she also led several large scale mixed methods no studies of effectiveness and quality in the workforce in teacher education, 7 00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:01,360 funded by the Australian Research Council and the Australian government's inability to attract 5000 graduate teachers and the thousands of principals. 8 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:06,940 So a lot of evidence on which to base conclusions. 9 00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:15,040 You will probably all know Diane already from her kind of publications and from her work around the world. 10 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:22,030 So long as you to dwell for too long. But I do want to say that I can't even think of anybody. 11 00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:23,710 I can't believe that it's only been, what, 12 00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:33,760 nine months or so since Diane joined us in in September last year because you already feel so much at the very important point of the department. 13 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:41,980 And this is why its first inaugural seminar on the slide, as well as this is done in order professorial talk. 14 00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:46,120 So over to you going on with people to talk. Thank you. 15 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,920 Thanks, Alex, and thanks everyone for coming this afternoon. 16 00:01:50,920 --> 00:02:01,630 So as the title indicates, I'm going to try and look at policy, practise and research around teacher education, 17 00:02:01,630 --> 00:02:16,450 and I'll track that basically three countries the US, Australia and in the UK, but specifically England, I guess just at a broad level. 18 00:02:16,450 --> 00:02:26,230 You saw my research to look at what impact or connexions or disconnections is happening between the 19 00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:36,170 research and the policy particularly and then think a little bit more about where we go from the. 20 00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:40,030 So that is the right hand side there. 21 00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:51,370 I just want to do a little brief history really to capture about since the 60s what's happened in research and teacher education, 22 00:02:51,370 --> 00:03:02,950 particularly research on teaching at that time. The current policy moment, which those of you who I've talked with before will know talked about, 23 00:03:02,950 --> 00:03:09,490 you know, the the policy problem of teacher education, which comes from Aaron Copland, Smith's work. 24 00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:15,100 And then, as I said, some of my research very briefly the long, longitudinal, 25 00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:20,500 large scale project that I did in Australia because I know some of you already heard some of that, 26 00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:27,910 but I just want to draw out some of the high level findings and then some of the work that I've been doing more recently with colleagues 27 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:37,960 at the University of Melbourne and the University of Auckland to try and draw on complexity theory to really understand teacher education. 28 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:46,280 And this notion of effectiveness and what does it really mean? 29 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:53,060 So as I said, starting right back, it's important to hang on. 30 00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:58,700 The teacher education research is a relatively new field. 31 00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:10,310 It was in 1964 that night gauge in the US called for more research or teacher education that is research on effective teaching, 32 00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:17,630 but can use be used for an alternative to education and then research on teacher education. 33 00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:28,850 The notion of looking at what the results of different approaches teacher and at the risk of spoiling the ending and I've highlighted here. 34 00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:38,180 Linda Darling-Hammond comment just from a few years back that basically says picking up his points 35 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:44,900 in this talk about the disrespect to scientific knowledge regarding teaching and teacher education, 36 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:49,400 she says it's probably not surprising to any of us in this room. 37 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,430 But that seems echoed through the decades. 38 00:04:52,430 --> 00:05:01,190 And even as we've made progress and new knowledge has frequently been put out there, it's either been ignored, misinterpreted, 39 00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:06,080 misused and sometimes by teacher educators, 40 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:15,380 but mostly by policymakers and with the result that we're in a space eerily resembling those of half a century ago. 41 00:05:15,380 --> 00:05:22,500 So that's kind of where I'm going to end up and hopefully with some more hopeful outcomes. 42 00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:33,290 And so let's have a quick look at where we started on the research or teaching of it. 43 00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:40,820 For teacher education research on teaching about 4G to education, the so-called processed product research, 44 00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:52,100 the notion of looking at teacher behaviours and then trying through some sort of experimental positive experimental correlation or designs and so on, 45 00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:59,270 identifying which behaviours seem to be correlated with student outcomes. 46 00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:01,550 Student learning outcomes. 47 00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:16,340 Hence, the name process product and what happened as a result of that was the policies picked up this research and made lists of behaviours, 48 00:06:16,340 --> 00:06:24,530 lists of competencies. Some of them pretty trivial, but perhaps easy to measure. 49 00:06:24,530 --> 00:06:31,130 And, you know, things like right behaviour objectives. 50 00:06:31,130 --> 00:06:35,440 You know, things that and what was the other one? 51 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:43,400 And the things like using their voice, well, things that really quite quite trivial, 52 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:55,430 but had been put on a list of of behaviours that both were then used to inform teacher education, 53 00:06:55,430 --> 00:07:01,010 but also used to judge teachers and evaluate teachers. 54 00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:09,740 And in Australia, this at that particular time, what was called the Sydney Micro Skills. 55 00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:15,950 Tania, how are you with colleagues at the University of Sydney developed packages which 56 00:07:15,950 --> 00:07:23,970 had lots of video snippets of someone doing good questioning the Oh listen, 57 00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:32,120 you know, little snippets of good questioning, good use of praise, good use of feedback, those sorts of things to which. 58 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,380 And I know this will be because that's when I was going through my teacher education. 59 00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:48,140 So we had to learn as we watched them in videos, learn them through some sort of discourse that was intense. 60 00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:57,400 But it was always breaking down the skills so you can see the heaviest reinforcement, basic questioning variability. 61 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,490 So you can't read the other ones explaining, just demonstrating with the other one. 62 00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:09,980 So you learn them. And then in small groups, in the teacher education classroom, you taught just that little snippet, not a lesson. 63 00:08:09,980 --> 00:08:15,230 You just demonstrated that you could actually do those particular things. 64 00:08:15,230 --> 00:08:28,400 Of course, it was justified as a research based, which I guess it was, but it's suffered from breaking down teaching into all its component parts. 65 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:41,360 And somehow, as I say, that just became rather trivial and had nothing to do with subject matter curriculum or student learning in very many cases. 66 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,290 So teacher education related to teacher was training and skills. 67 00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:52,210 Moving on then to the 80s, I mean, these timeframes are very rubbery. 68 00:08:52,210 --> 00:08:58,450 It happens differently in different parts of the world, but just as a bit of a framing. 69 00:08:58,450 --> 00:09:05,680 People started to say, But hang on a moment when you're looking at behaviours, we need to understand what teachers are thinking, 70 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,890 their cognition, what they do, just particularly the decisions that they're making. 71 00:09:11,890 --> 00:09:20,710 And so the whole body of research on free instruction and decision making, I think, was the term that was used at that time. 72 00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:31,180 The decision making that happened during lessons which stimulated recall was the approach that was used a lot there to try and get teachers to 73 00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:39,520 talk about what they were thinking and how they were making those decisions at a particular point in time and then post this decision making. 74 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:47,710 And people like Chris Clark, US James Cole, the head, Chris Day, whole range of people here. 75 00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:56,620 And then a little offshoot of that was this expert, not research, which has still been built on. 76 00:09:56,620 --> 00:09:58,540 However, all of this has been built on. 77 00:09:58,540 --> 00:10:09,400 But David Meline and Kathy Carter and so on, that really said, but we need to look at what expert teachers can do and what they're thinking. 78 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:18,610 So we know how to try and if you like, move our pre-service teachers to that space. 79 00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:27,580 Because the problem was even though that research did a lot of good work on identifying things to exclude teachers, 80 00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:32,050 what it didn't do is identify how one moves from novice to expert. 81 00:10:32,050 --> 00:10:41,080 So. So it was a snapshot. And of course, at that time, with this teacher thinking he was on set began. 82 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,990 It was first called the International Study Association on teacher thinking as one of 83 00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:56,110 the fairly first large organisations that was really focussed on teacher thinking. 84 00:10:56,110 --> 00:11:01,630 And the new book that was published of the conference was to be ninety nine. 85 00:11:01,630 --> 00:11:10,010 I think it is their insights into teachers thinking in practise, so she stayed on for impotence. 86 00:11:10,010 --> 00:11:23,270 So then this notion of which we all know about teaching and all that it teaches knowledge and Lee Shulman and his colleagues, 87 00:11:23,270 --> 00:11:31,790 particularly with the notion of pedagogical content, knowledge, that stuff to come out of that, 88 00:11:31,790 --> 00:11:39,470 we've got a few key publications here and takes more, of course. 89 00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:49,640 And lead to that was the work on two has some practical knowledge, just practical knowledge, leaving the main by conditioning. 90 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:59,240 And Michael called me in in Canada, but it was sort of the. 91 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:06,110 And at this stage then there was a lot more emphasis in teacher education using this 92 00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:16,370 research to help think about teacher education as learning to teach beyond acquiring skills. 93 00:12:16,370 --> 00:12:20,180 So what knowledge that people need to know? 94 00:12:20,180 --> 00:12:26,690 What does that knowledge look like, how people acquiring it and how they use it? 95 00:12:26,690 --> 00:12:36,830 And then about the same time as I said, lots of crossover here, the whole notion of critical reflection, reflective practise. 96 00:12:36,830 --> 00:12:41,060 So don't shine. And then kids, I know that. 97 00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:49,880 And one of the seminal works on teaching people to reflect them as I've learnt their lesson. 98 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:56,990 And then the whole notion of action research as another kind of dimension to that. 99 00:12:56,990 --> 00:13:07,820 And then more recently, in this time frame, at least this sort of notional critical refresh reflection, 100 00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:19,670 trying to think about the impact and the consequences of the things that are happening in the classrooms for diverse learners. 101 00:13:19,670 --> 00:13:27,890 And it was really only about this time that study of teaching and study of learning as two 102 00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:36,530 disparate areas of research in two different parts of the academy started to come together. 103 00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:46,430 Prior to that, you had pretty much psychology driving the study of learning and the study of teaching, as I've described to you. 104 00:13:46,430 --> 00:13:56,850 And it wasn't until around this time in the 1990s, early 2000s, but that started to come together. 105 00:13:56,850 --> 00:14:06,120 So where are we now? So when I say now in the last debate? 106 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:16,230 Much more of a policy emphasis now. And this whole notion of economic competitiveness, country comparisons. 107 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:21,630 So you had the classic McKinsey report that got people doing comparisons. 108 00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:29,370 You can see the influence of things like pizza on government documents say, you know, 109 00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:38,820 the classic 2010 white paper here, which was very significant terms of some of the changes that started to evolve. 110 00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:46,830 Start off with quoting piece around, you know, we fell and we've got to do something about catching up in Australia. 111 00:14:46,830 --> 00:14:52,930 Even just in 2014, the same sort of things were still happening here. 112 00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:57,420 We're talking about the declining performance and so on. 113 00:14:57,420 --> 00:15:09,360 And suddenly, this notion of teacher quality became very much focussed on as if we'd sort of never thought about before, really. 114 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:20,910 And a big focus then on the quality of teacher education as a result, spurred on by supply and demand issues in many countries about, 115 00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:33,430 you know, issues of recruitment and retention, which I think are still a big focus in the policy sphere and the focus on outcomes. 116 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:46,070 So. This sort of if you like this sort of context, these sorts of things of this contest having to deal with the situation, 117 00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:53,150 which Marilyn Conference Smith terms about 10 years ago or so, 118 00:15:53,150 --> 00:16:03,110 this idea of initial teacher education becoming a policy problem and being driven by political ideology, 119 00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:09,560 certainly driven by a distortion and a misuse of the research. 120 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:16,340 Ken Zeichner and Hillary Clinton wrote a lovely paper a few years ago where they followed one of 121 00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:22,880 his early pieces of research and then followed it over the country called now how many years, 122 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:32,120 maybe 15 years, where the original intention of that research and the original findings when they followed it 123 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:40,790 was being used to support something completely different to what it was originally saying. 124 00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:47,210 And so they talked about these echo chambers and so on. So the idea that as happens in policy circles, 125 00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:54,170 where someone quotes the finding of a research and then that's quoted again and it's quoted again and again. 126 00:16:54,170 --> 00:16:58,670 And you know, in the end, no one's going back to the original research. 127 00:16:58,670 --> 00:17:09,200 And he came later and still does makes a nice argument about that's how a lot of policy has been developing over the last number of years, 128 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:15,110 saying it's informed by research, but not really going to the real research, 129 00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:22,580 not sort of ventriloquism as he talks about and this new fracturing and narrative of science. 130 00:17:22,580 --> 00:17:28,640 Because if you want to make policy change, go say something wrong. 131 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:35,330 So many people have talked about this and you have to build this narrative of 132 00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:44,180 failure of teacher education so that then you can move in and do provide solutions, 133 00:17:44,180 --> 00:17:51,080 often on a grand scale and large scale reform agendas, which is what has happened. 134 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,450 And as a married couple, Smith highlighted quite a while ago, 135 00:17:56,450 --> 00:18:04,730 and I'm sure you can still see the ways in which that's happening now when we define something as a policy problem. 136 00:18:04,730 --> 00:18:11,330 It put it all apart and see which bits of it you might be able to fix through a policy imperative. 137 00:18:11,330 --> 00:18:16,820 And that's, you know, you think about even things I won't quote them. 138 00:18:16,820 --> 00:18:22,340 But Morrison's policies in this country, you can actually see that that's what's happening. 139 00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:34,010 So if you fix, you know, let's say, the knowledge base of teachers, that's a big problem. 140 00:18:34,010 --> 00:18:43,430 So pull out a part and you build a policy around, you know, in Australia, teacher tested, for example, which has been in the last five years, 141 00:18:43,430 --> 00:18:47,090 the same subject matter requirements, 142 00:18:47,090 --> 00:18:57,410 some people having to have other sorts of qualifications for certainly alternative pathways, which I'll be back in a moment. 143 00:18:57,410 --> 00:19:11,240 Let's have a look at how that's developed in the three examples us here and also in Australia and where we can see this stuff happen, 144 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:19,010 this kind of building, I think of a narrative of failure in this policy document. 145 00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:27,260 So. 2001 no child left behind was a little bit before that as well, but this is where it really starts to pick up pace. 146 00:19:27,260 --> 00:19:38,140 So this is the annual report from the Secretary of Education fairly influential document, which purports to say how things are going in the US. 147 00:19:38,140 --> 00:19:42,470 And these are direct quotes from. 148 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:54,360 The response out of this particular report, the colleges and schools of education are simply getting in the way of good people, becoming teachers. 149 00:19:54,360 --> 00:20:01,910 They they borrowed this notion of highly qualified who would argue about that. 150 00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:10,220 But what highly qualified means was having good content, knowledge and verbal ability. 151 00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:20,390 And that's what high. So that was building the case for saying you need a degree in mathematics and you needed 152 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:26,260 good skills of explaining things and everything else you could beat up on the job. 153 00:20:26,260 --> 00:20:33,320 And it was even in 2009 that kind of rhetoric in these reports, in schools of education, 154 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:42,140 of doing a mediocre job because you have to believe, as I said, this narrative of failure, you know, better than I do the story here. 155 00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:51,350 And I've just I came down in 2010 paper because from someone who was living in this country at that time, 156 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:58,130 this 2010 paper seems to me to be the start of a whole range of things that have happened. 157 00:20:58,130 --> 00:21:10,910 So this whole idea of teaching being a craft and apprenticeship, observing the master and more training on the job and then in 2013, 158 00:21:10,910 --> 00:21:22,820 goes goes on to say that really, the whole problem is with the education academics, why so much of the research and evidence is so poor? 159 00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:28,160 And thankfully, we're putting it all back into the hands of schools and teachers and so on. 160 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,130 So you can get a feel for that flavour coming through. 161 00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:42,470 And in Australia, at the same sort of thing happened about it was on 2009 that the federal government 162 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:50,210 stepped in to really drive what they said was improving teacher quality, 163 00:21:50,210 --> 00:21:56,420 the notion of additional pathways attracting the brightest and best through additional funds, you know, 164 00:21:56,420 --> 00:22:08,180 and I believe that spelling, developing standards, quality and even in 2014, the this was a federal government report. 165 00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:18,440 The Ministerial Advisory Group report action now and their recommendations was looking at evidence of impact of teacher education. 166 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:25,850 The rhetoric there was there's no evidence of the impact of it's really focussing on entry. 167 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:38,240 And this whole notion of classroom readiness that teachers, people coming out of teacher education programmes need to be classroom ready. 168 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:48,350 I should point out that I'm told that this particular time and significantly in the main schools, 169 00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:55,670 the case that people complete their initial teacher education before being employed. 170 00:22:55,670 --> 00:23:01,760 So this notion of classroom reading has that particular connotations that people get a 171 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:09,020 qualification bachelor of education or graduate flow rate education or a mass of education, 172 00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:12,800 and then they are classroom ready. 173 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:26,810 So where are we now given these sorts of framings we've got eliminating or reducing the role of universities and higher education institutes? 174 00:23:26,810 --> 00:23:30,140 We've got to turn to practise the notion of what works. 175 00:23:30,140 --> 00:23:38,600 We've got an increasingly complex regulation regulatory system in many countries and the focus on outcomes. 176 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,930 This notion of value, and there's probably others, but these are just some. 177 00:23:41,930 --> 00:23:46,760 I want to just spend a few moments on alternative routes. 178 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,590 Well, we all know about the Teach for All franchise. 179 00:23:51,590 --> 00:23:59,810 So 1990 Teach for America, the very first one teach first year, 180 00:23:59,810 --> 00:24:08,600 2003 and 2010 after the previous policy document that I referred to Teach for Australia. 181 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,140 And it goes on. These are just a few this, I think. 182 00:24:12,140 --> 00:24:23,300 Fifty three teach schools throughout the world and you'll notice the wording that they're using on their website, 183 00:24:23,300 --> 00:24:29,810 and it's it's replicated in many of the country websites. The problem that we are addressing. 184 00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:41,610 So this notion of universities have had control of teacher education for many, many years or higher education institutes not. 185 00:24:41,610 --> 00:24:46,560 Bullets are useless, and they've not done a very good job. 186 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,790 See, you know, we still got all these quality problems. 187 00:24:49,790 --> 00:25:00,930 OK, let's get the brightest and the best, you know, target high achieving undergrads coming into a truncated, 188 00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:11,970 shall we say, preparation programme and other sorts of supports and study and maybe to preparation. 189 00:25:11,970 --> 00:25:22,140 Now, I just want to use this as an example, because and I think it was your mentor is trying to do the memo this in this country as well, 190 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:32,730 but basically said and Kim's ideas started in the states basically said, Look, these programmes and there's not very many people involved. 191 00:25:32,730 --> 00:25:38,640 You know, when you look at the whole, it's not, but they've had such impact in so many other ways. 192 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:47,070 Now, in this country, in a few years, a few years ago, it was about where places were being allocated and so on. 193 00:25:47,070 --> 00:25:52,110 But here's an example of, you know, teach for Australia starting in 2010. 194 00:25:52,110 --> 00:25:56,190 This is the size of the cardboard for the first few years. 195 00:25:56,190 --> 00:26:03,610 In 2016, the government and I should add, it's notoriously difficult to get accurate figures around about this. 196 00:26:03,610 --> 00:26:06,690 You know, not surprising these reports, 197 00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:16,950 but then you've got to work out who's written the report and why the federal government committed a further 20 million over the next four years. 198 00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:26,220 So they nine 10 year Financial Review has just recently claimed that, you know, 199 00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:32,880 they're doing a wonderful job because they've believe they've trained 800 graduates in 10 years. 200 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,010 Just by point of comparison, well, first of all, you look at the maths of all of that. 201 00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:41,860 I can't read the total. 202 00:26:41,860 --> 00:26:50,610 In 2016, the total number of people who completing a teacher education programme were about 79000. 203 00:26:50,610 --> 00:27:00,210 So, you know, small but having a huge impact and a huge stabilising impact as well. 204 00:27:00,210 --> 00:27:06,060 And of course, it goes on a, you know, better than I do about this. 205 00:27:06,060 --> 00:27:18,840 Since the school directed the academies and in England in the US, a classic one was the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence, 206 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,090 where you would agree with disagree with the name of that when it started out. 207 00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:29,190 So basically, you went online, you paid your money, you did a little test. 208 00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:33,210 And if you pass that test, you've got your teacher qualification. 209 00:27:33,210 --> 00:27:45,810 And a number of states in the U.S. acknowledge that as a teacher qualification, it's moved a little bit in the last decade. 210 00:27:45,810 --> 00:27:57,960 To now, it's you do a bit of online coursework before we take notice, but you've got to have a spare five minutes. 211 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,630 It's interesting to have a look at their website, particularly around Christmas Thanksgiving. 212 00:28:03,630 --> 00:28:09,240 They have sales so you can actually go on and you get a special rate. 213 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:20,760 So, you know, I couldn't take this race and that the trend towards practise the whole notion of what works as well below says, 214 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,630 you know, the seductive pursuit of what we now call best practises. 215 00:28:24,630 --> 00:28:33,250 This idea that the single best solutions to these complex problems and the whole what works notion. 216 00:28:33,250 --> 00:28:41,910 So in the US, the What Works clearinghouse, which is, you know, features, 217 00:28:41,910 --> 00:28:52,890 as does Education Endowment Fund Foundation here and Social Ventures Australia, in which comment exactly the Education Endowment Fund. 218 00:28:52,890 --> 00:28:59,640 Way of looking at research, which you know has these entrepreneurs and policy specialists isn't a way. 219 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:10,320 At a glance you can see all the good research is. And the Echo will let me just say one more thing. 220 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,110 So is it related to research? Yes, of course it's connected to research. 221 00:29:16,110 --> 00:29:22,800 But the issue is it's what research is being acknowledged. 222 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:32,760 What sorts of approaches? And then an increasingly complex apparatus of regulation of the profession. 223 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:39,690 So, you know, standards, criteria for programmes, programmes, standards. 224 00:29:39,690 --> 00:29:44,610 So keep in the US Council for the Accreditation of the Corporation, 225 00:29:44,610 --> 00:29:53,760 which is now a national group that's compulsory in Kate, was a national group prior to that, but it wasn't compulsory, 226 00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:02,790 which I don't think people realised that it was a very much a voluntary body and usually institutions that weren't 227 00:30:02,790 --> 00:30:11,820 so well regarded with the UK accreditation because they could use that in their marketing and in Australia, 228 00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:15,870 the same sort of things. Are they connected to research? 229 00:30:15,870 --> 00:30:22,290 Well, my experience in Australia was developing. 230 00:30:22,290 --> 00:30:28,560 Those standards was getting groups of people in rooms and saying, What do you think? 231 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:37,690 And making sure that each of the states when the national standards were developed, that each of the states could see their own standards in them? 232 00:30:37,690 --> 00:30:44,070 And so there was a lot of, you know, I'd go to a meeting in Victoria and I'd say, Look, 233 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:48,990 we can live with these national standards that just like ours and you go to Queensland and Queensland would say, 234 00:30:48,990 --> 00:30:51,540 Look, we can live with this national standards that just like ours. 235 00:30:51,540 --> 00:31:00,840 So the whole process was about appeasing everyone and making sure that if they didn't upset people. 236 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:11,760 Nothing to do with research employment. And the notion of value and which thankfully the sort of pulled back a little 237 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:19,080 bit in the states in terms of being used to judge initial teacher education. 238 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:26,970 So the idea that you look at the schools of the individuals and the progress that they made, 239 00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:39,500 they look at the teachers and what programme they came out of and being able to make supposedly some sort of causal connexion between. 240 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:45,920 Yeah, that's right. So what is all this done in a policy context? 241 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:54,530 It's really developed this kind of a whole range of policy entanglements, I suppose, 242 00:31:54,530 --> 00:32:02,390 and competing discourse because on the one hand, so he's just quickly, I'm not going to go through examples of each of these. 243 00:32:02,390 --> 00:32:07,760 Just to give you a picture you've got, on the one hand, tighter regulation, 244 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,770 you know what should be in programmes, how long they should be, etcetera, etcetera. 245 00:32:12,770 --> 00:32:24,320 But on the other hand, he's got alternative, usually touted as innovative pathways that have that have to have those same sorts of standards. 246 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,960 You've got this notion of highly qualified, for example, 247 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:39,830 is a master's level and then you've got other ways of being qualified under and differently qualified, usually targeting so-called best and brightest. 248 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:44,750 You've got notions of teacher professionalism involving teacher judgement, 249 00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:52,660 and then you've got notions of what it is if we call new professionalism being used as a lever of control. 250 00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:56,840 You know you're a real professional if you're implementing this latest policy. 251 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:06,920 So this sort of whole lever of control, this notion of effectiveness of teacher conflated with measures of student play. 252 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:14,750 And as I said, assuming that there's some sort of causal link between teacher education and student learning outcomes, 253 00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:26,060 it's very problematic and teaching as an extended and complex profession and this notion that I've already referred to as classroom reading. 254 00:33:26,060 --> 00:33:40,850 So, you know, all of these are part of a really conflicting or conflicted policy landscape informed by research selectively 255 00:33:40,850 --> 00:33:50,030 with overarching claims all the time about there isn't any research that we have to do these things. 256 00:33:50,030 --> 00:33:57,760 What is the role of research? OK. 257 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:06,610 I think it's fair to say that teacher education research doesn't get a very good rap. 258 00:34:06,610 --> 00:34:15,520 There have been reviews in many countries over quite a period of time that says, you know, 259 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:22,570 it's underdeveloped, it's under theorised, it's fragmentary, it's somewhat parochial. 260 00:34:22,570 --> 00:34:32,260 We kind of know why that is in some at some levels, because there's not a lot of money around for teacher education research. 261 00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:42,010 People do tend to investigate their own programmes, so sometimes it is discriminatory in that way. 262 00:34:42,010 --> 00:34:49,350 But not all whites who still do work on your own programmes and can they got to make the greatest story? 263 00:34:49,350 --> 00:34:53,500 And people like Christine Slater and Pam Grossman and so on. 264 00:34:53,500 --> 00:35:03,940 I've been saying for a while that because of this, our research doesn't tell a strong story to policymakers, 265 00:35:03,940 --> 00:35:15,430 so they can easily ignore us or simply say, well, no evidence, we're going to just do ideological policy. 266 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:22,180 And even worse, as Linda Darling-Hammond points out, and as I said earlier that I referred to Kinsey, 267 00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:36,280 it was that research has often become a weapon that's used to kind of advance or even push back on it and policy moves, 268 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:50,350 rather than a tool to inform the process. So as a teacher in the researcher, in that kind of context, what do you do apart from gone to? 269 00:35:50,350 --> 00:35:56,980 So here's what I've tried to do, and I just want to draw on a couple of things, 270 00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:06,310 as I said right at the beginning and then finish thinking about what some of the opportunities in the future might be. 271 00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:13,300 So some of the work I've done, I think at one stage took up the notion of outcomes. 272 00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:18,000 But okay, they're on about outcomes. Let's do some work in that. 273 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,540 And this part of the common assessment for California teachers. 274 00:36:22,540 --> 00:36:28,000 Way back before it became a TPA and Pearson took it over. 275 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,390 So that's one part, but I'm not going to talk about that. I've done. 276 00:36:31,390 --> 00:36:37,870 I have attempted to say, well, if they're saying there is no research to inform the effectiveness of teacher education, 277 00:36:37,870 --> 00:36:45,220 let's do a systematic review and see if that's the case. Yeah, that's a bit of a sad story. 278 00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:53,830 So there isn't a lot unless you problem because you have to do it properly and it because effectiveness, quality, all of those sorts of things. 279 00:36:53,830 --> 00:36:57,550 So it becomes quite challenging. 280 00:36:57,550 --> 00:37:05,530 One thing I'm also saying I like people are talking about large scale longitudinal studies to inform this sort of debate. 281 00:37:05,530 --> 00:37:09,670 Let's do that. So I'm going to talk a little bit about that very quickly. 282 00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:16,270 But then I want to finish by saying there are a whole heap of things we need to problematic if we're 283 00:37:16,270 --> 00:37:22,960 going to look at this effectiveness of teacher education that might have any impact in a policy sense. 284 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:30,820 So let's start with studying the effectiveness of teacher education seats, and I've got a few slides, 285 00:37:30,820 --> 00:37:36,910 but they've only just got a few things on them, so I'll go through them quite quickly. 286 00:37:36,910 --> 00:37:40,270 And as I said earlier, some of you already seen some of the City Council. 287 00:37:40,270 --> 00:37:49,150 I don't want to draw a line to repeat, and this was a study where we had three main research questions. 288 00:37:49,150 --> 00:37:57,070 There will be lots of ones on the weekend. We want to look at how well prepared people felt for the programmes remembering these are all 289 00:37:57,070 --> 00:38:02,260 people who have gone through teacher education programme before they get registered reading 290 00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:08,740 from which we want to look at which if there were any characteristics of those programmes that 291 00:38:08,740 --> 00:38:21,580 seem to be linked to and correlated with the way in which those teachers photo compare or not. 292 00:38:21,580 --> 00:38:30,820 And then thirdly, looking at the links to employment pathways retention in the profession over time. 293 00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:36,580 Our goal, as I've said there, was to inform policy and practise. 294 00:38:36,580 --> 00:38:44,680 I guess only time will tell. And I want to acknowledge it was a very large team was funded by the Australian Research 295 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:52,000 Council and significantly funded by the Departments of Education in Queensland and Victoria, 296 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:01,450 which was a challenge in its own right. Because when you're a partner and I now see in Australia, it's not consultancy research, 297 00:39:01,450 --> 00:39:10,720 so the notion of providing a positive contribution but not controlling the outcome was quite challenging. 298 00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:19,780 And then the federal government also funded to take some of it beyond Queensland Victoria. 299 00:39:19,780 --> 00:39:24,700 There are a number of publications, reports, all sorts of things out there. 300 00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:37,550 So let me just pull out a few things. We used this notion of space to theorising the notion of constrained space, which is a policy space. 301 00:39:37,550 --> 00:39:46,760 Which quality teaching and quality teacher education is named in a policy context to perceived some space, 302 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:56,570 meaning what's happening in the teacher education programme and the religious space of the pre-service teachers and then graduates? 303 00:39:56,570 --> 00:40:04,300 Again, there are publications there. I won't follow on that too much. 304 00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:11,140 The target population was 15000, and of course, we can get that many responses. 305 00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:17,440 We also analysed databases of schools in both of those states. 306 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:24,190 We did a mapping of programmes across Australia so we could draw connexions between dimensions 307 00:40:24,190 --> 00:40:29,590 of teacher education and whether people were talking about feeling prepared or not. 308 00:40:29,590 --> 00:40:37,960 This was about 500 plus programmes across Australia, and we didn't we weren't looking at his programme. 309 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,160 We were looking at the dimensions, you know, so how how were they structured? 310 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,730 What beliefs were they? How did they address the issue of content knowledge? 311 00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:56,020 How did they address the issue of developing a system in the Legislature session and surveys of graduate teachers and their principals 312 00:40:56,020 --> 00:41:05,290 just as they graduated and following them failed for another four years and almost 200 graduate teachers in almost 30 schools. 313 00:41:05,290 --> 00:41:11,050 The surveys collected, in essence, this was the crux of it. 314 00:41:11,050 --> 00:41:20,030 46 items which we were asked on a large scale whether they felt compared and with unselfish data, 315 00:41:20,030 --> 00:41:25,150 and there were other things there that you can just look through. 316 00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:33,430 Oh, just one things. By gathering this, we were able to make those connexions with the dimensions of the programme, 317 00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:38,230 not the programme itself, but the dimensions of the programme. 318 00:41:38,230 --> 00:41:45,730 This is just to show you how the documents from these surveys and the response rate, it's not very high. 319 00:41:45,730 --> 00:41:53,410 And this is one of the big challenges in this kind of research and I don't know about in this country, 320 00:41:53,410 --> 00:42:00,400 but certainly in Australia, this survey fatigue is beginning to is everyone wants to survey them. 321 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:08,860 And so it was quite challenging to get these responses, and we thought we did have a cohort, 322 00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:16,240 but we were able to look at longitudinally that were the same in each of the case. 323 00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:24,920 Studies was selected, according to these schools, according to these criteria. 324 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:31,810 And we did analysis within and across cases, and there's still more work to be done on that. 325 00:42:31,810 --> 00:42:34,630 But. 326 00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:51,170 Is a bit of a picture of the group graduate survey, the teacher survey respondents said, pretty much replicated the teaching workforce in Australia. 327 00:42:51,170 --> 00:42:59,180 Now, one thing to note here, because as we see some of the findings, this is mass disqualifications. 328 00:42:59,180 --> 00:43:07,910 This was a one year graduate diploma, which is no longer in place in Australia that was posted at the time now, 329 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:14,750 where all graduate teacher education has to be two years. So this was a little before that. 330 00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:25,400 You can see reflects the kind of, you know, population distribution, mostly metropolitan, which surprises, OK. 331 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:37,740 Were they employed? Yes, those that went in by the time we got to round four, they won't even look. 332 00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:45,290 It's not because the principals and teachers in the terminology weren't willing to employ them. 333 00:43:45,290 --> 00:43:51,880 They said you. The issue was really Typekit employment. 334 00:43:51,880 --> 00:44:03,850 So if you look at the yellow, that's a full time contract, each dollar point and the part time contracts that will be signed. 335 00:44:03,850 --> 00:44:08,530 So you can see that started off when they started off. 336 00:44:08,530 --> 00:44:12,130 Many more of the more contracts is blue. 337 00:44:12,130 --> 00:44:22,210 Here's the full time permanent. So it was under I think it's 28 27 percent are in full time permanent contracts. 338 00:44:22,210 --> 00:44:33,430 And when you add the part time contracts you get, about a third of them commence their career in those sort of secure employment. 339 00:44:33,430 --> 00:44:41,650 Now that's quite significant for the findings because as I'll talk to you in the moment, 340 00:44:41,650 --> 00:44:49,030 those who had secured employment had totally different views on their teacher education programme than those that didn't. 341 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:54,880 Not surprising. If you haven't got a job and you can't get a permanent job, you're going to look for something. 342 00:44:54,880 --> 00:45:02,630 And I look to the teacher, teacher males who are more likely to be in full time permanent positions. 343 00:45:02,630 --> 00:45:05,750 They did feel very positive about their progress. 344 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:15,770 I think it's all up about 75 per cent agree or strongly the Greens across all of the data points of the rounds of the survey. 345 00:45:15,770 --> 00:45:21,620 But this is the important one that goes for the teaching position certainly felt more positive. 346 00:45:21,620 --> 00:45:30,660 And especially those with full time permanent positions. 347 00:45:30,660 --> 00:45:35,280 There were the 46 items when you put them all together. 348 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,620 They did feel prepared and they did feel effectiveness beginning teachers, 349 00:45:40,620 --> 00:45:51,600 but oddly enough in these times and and these here, you can see that they've got more effective than prepared. 350 00:45:51,600 --> 00:46:01,980 So this whole notion of a linear idea of teacher education is immediately challenged. 351 00:46:01,980 --> 00:46:06,840 I don't know about here, but certainly in Australia at this time, we started this study. 352 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:12,930 A lot of rhetoric around principals think that new graduates aren't employable. 353 00:46:12,930 --> 00:46:21,880 They're not doing a good job. They don't know this so well in this study was five years. 354 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:31,600 The 46 items were put into these nine scales, and certainly even though overall they felt defective and I felt prepared. 355 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:40,000 There were things that they felt more prepared and there were things that they felt less competitive. 356 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:48,340 And that the probably not surprising the the the challenging thing is that tough one, 357 00:46:48,340 --> 00:46:54,400 because it also is the one that shows off in feeling really effective. 358 00:46:54,400 --> 00:47:09,260 And indeed, you go back to Madonna, those that the feeling of pain and effective in teaching diverse learners was significantly different from. 359 00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:19,290 So that's a. I'm comparing just going to pull out one thing here, this one, 360 00:47:19,290 --> 00:47:24,720 this was comparing what the teachers thought were the biggest challenges for them and 361 00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:29,700 what the principals thought were the biggest challenges for their early career teachers. 362 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:38,940 And one big difference was pedagogy, which included subject pedagogy and general pedagogy and so on. 363 00:47:38,940 --> 00:47:48,870 The principals identified that as a much more significant challenge than the individual teachers and some students, 364 00:47:48,870 --> 00:47:57,120 the ones that they both seem to agree on. Unsurprisingly, behaviour, classroom management and catering for the discipline. 365 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:04,110 But they did think they were successful at influencing student learning. 366 00:48:04,110 --> 00:48:21,620 They were all thinking about leaving. OK, I'm just going to pull out a couple of things and just move to the last because I was so offended. 367 00:48:21,620 --> 00:48:31,110 President, lengths to make a difference. So those people were sort of programmed to feel as well, and of course, not surprisingly, 368 00:48:31,110 --> 00:48:43,170 what we call practical or professional experience in schools, which is usually every year on teacher education programme, was highly valued. 369 00:48:43,170 --> 00:48:49,350 There was a whole range of and a lot of research has said the same sort of thing. 370 00:48:49,350 --> 00:48:59,190 There's conflict and challenge, who in their own view of themselves as a teacher, doesn't align with that of the programme and all the schools. 371 00:48:59,190 --> 00:49:05,460 How imams from all the statistical work that we did, which I haven't got here today. 372 00:49:05,460 --> 00:49:09,270 And there is a 340 people. When you look at those sorts of things, 373 00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:22,850 the characteristics or the dimensions of teacher education accounted for very little of the variance in their perceptions of preparedness. 374 00:49:22,850 --> 00:49:31,190 The important thing that came out of all of this is that if the two factors that seem to have the greatest player and only perceptions, 375 00:49:31,190 --> 00:49:35,300 employment and the workplace context. 376 00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:45,020 I've already mentioned this first one, but there's the full time permanent work, but more prepared and effective should have its own way back. 377 00:49:45,020 --> 00:49:53,370 The survey was on perceptions, and so I acknowledge all the limitations associated with that. 378 00:49:53,370 --> 00:50:00,000 The issue of people moving around was related to job security and about whether 379 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,160 they felt effectively prepared as a teacher who was looking for more security, 380 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:14,600 employment and. Satisfaction and retention was linked to how effective they felt. 381 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:21,320 Not surprisingly, school support was linked to those today and those whole range of intrinsic factors linked 382 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:30,740 to staying and solving this issue of mobility and retention and attrition and job security. 383 00:50:30,740 --> 00:50:45,740 A whole lot of interviews came out in lot of cases, a lot of behaviours that these new teachers were engaged in that had everything 384 00:50:45,740 --> 00:50:54,230 to do with trying to secure more permanent employment or more secure employment, 385 00:50:54,230 --> 00:51:02,170 and very little to do with student learning, which is quite challenging. 386 00:51:02,170 --> 00:51:13,240 OK. Couple of things I want to raise. OK. Here's some of the things that the policy rhetoric high cycle right back to what I was saying earlier. 387 00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:22,300 Initial teacher education is not working well. We've got a few things here that would speak to that. 388 00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:33,330 Things that have already. The saying that the initial teacher education is too theoretical, teachers learn better on the job. 389 00:51:33,330 --> 00:51:42,960 Certainly, they did say that their preparation could have been enhanced by more time in schools, more times spent in the money. 390 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,820 They talked about needing that theoretical base to do that. 391 00:51:47,820 --> 00:51:52,110 And this notion and these are my words, not theirs. 392 00:51:52,110 --> 00:51:56,700 You know, the notion that what works only works when we know what works. 393 00:51:56,700 --> 00:52:03,480 And so there was that kind of sense of understanding, and a lot of this was coming. 394 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:09,060 They commented that they felt obligated to reproduce teaching practises around them, 395 00:52:09,060 --> 00:52:18,540 even if they thought of problematic masters as part of, you know, feeling in being part of the school sexual content knowledge, you know? 396 00:52:18,540 --> 00:52:20,550 And this has come out a lot. 397 00:52:20,550 --> 00:52:29,700 The notion of, well, all you need is your degree in mathematics or your degree in literature or whatever it is in science and attack on. 398 00:52:29,700 --> 00:52:36,210 So are the sorts of things that came out here would challenge that in terms of 399 00:52:36,210 --> 00:52:42,780 what they felt compared to or not and what the principals thought they were not. 400 00:52:42,780 --> 00:52:49,200 And those short programmes are clustered really well. 401 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:55,710 Everyone talked about this ongoing idea. 402 00:52:55,710 --> 00:52:58,230 It's not a destination. 403 00:52:58,230 --> 00:53:08,760 And then the whole question of what is the classroom and that this notion of effectiveness, similar paradigms changes over time. 404 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:18,810 It's not a fixed outcome of teacher education. And what we're seeing a lot now is lots of government activity on recruitment. 405 00:53:18,810 --> 00:53:28,220 Well, actually, we would argue that the whole issue of retention and what people's standards, perhaps. 406 00:53:28,220 --> 00:53:30,710 Partnerships and shared responsibility, 407 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:42,620 a lot of the information from this study would say that principals and schools still think that the providers are totally accountable for the teacher, 408 00:53:42,620 --> 00:53:53,630 and these things without the dissolution of that learning to teach is developmental. 409 00:53:53,630 --> 00:53:58,550 See the initial teacher education. Then there's mentoring. Induction comes next. 410 00:53:58,550 --> 00:54:05,810 Well, a lot of what we found probably is that. 411 00:54:05,810 --> 00:54:11,060 Time to go into overdrive, and hopefully it's some of the ideas, 412 00:54:11,060 --> 00:54:19,790 so some of the things we think this work challenges the notion of thinking about 413 00:54:19,790 --> 00:54:25,400 teacher education as a complicated system where you can take all the bits apart, 414 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:30,620 examine them and do something with them, reform agendas. 415 00:54:30,620 --> 00:54:41,390 And we would argue that you need to think about teacher education. So complex systems and rejecting universally best practises and just to finish just 416 00:54:41,390 --> 00:54:48,500 will just highlight some more recent work building on this notion of complexity. 417 00:54:48,500 --> 00:54:53,870 And this was in relation to the Australian and New Zealand context, 418 00:54:53,870 --> 00:55:02,780 where the mantra is now evidence of impact of teacher education in relation to student learning. 419 00:55:02,780 --> 00:55:15,950 And so what? We did some work to try and think about where student learning might fit and what are the impacts of teacher education that in fact, 420 00:55:15,950 --> 00:55:23,060 there are much broader impacts on teacher education than just student learning, drawing on complex theories. 421 00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:28,940 So we've developed in this paper that it's just referred to. 422 00:55:28,940 --> 00:55:36,290 There is a diagram where we're starting to think about student learning and 423 00:55:36,290 --> 00:55:47,750 seeing embedded in these overlapping and perhaps the circles to each child. 424 00:55:47,750 --> 00:55:53,840 We couldn't think of a different diagram that you come up with in this diagram at this time. 425 00:55:53,840 --> 00:56:07,790 It's not a linear pretty process is what we're trying to argue that initial teacher education can impact and crosses over all of these areas. 426 00:56:07,790 --> 00:56:10,910 And there's a reciprocal relationship. 427 00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:24,590 And this was the point we were trying to get at was that if you think about the impact of teacher education, it has impact educational research, 428 00:56:24,590 --> 00:56:38,300 the candidates themselves, the teachers, educators and the programmes in various sorts of ways of thinking about impact than just student learning. 429 00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:52,130 So research. The the capital is the effect that some of the new teachers might have in these situations 430 00:56:52,130 --> 00:56:58,370 and relationships between teacher educators in universities and teacher educators in schools, 431 00:56:58,370 --> 00:57:04,400 and some of the impact impacted outcomes there and so on. 432 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:17,510 And so we think there are this might open up some different ways of arguing impact of teacher education or effectiveness 433 00:57:17,510 --> 00:57:26,720 of teacher education beyond this sort of and notion of teacher education prepares someone who then does this, 434 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:34,100 who then does that, then this induction, then is mentoring and so on, rather a more holistic view. 435 00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:40,850 We think it might have opportunities to actually provide a way to aggregate abuse findings from the smaller studies, 436 00:57:40,850 --> 00:57:44,720 because if you think back a lot of studies, 437 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:58,160 we might be able to position in various parts here, giving a more holistic evaluation of teacher education and teacher educators work. 438 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:05,620 And I think one of the other opportunities provided here is this notion of new areas and increased emphasis. 439 00:58:05,620 --> 00:58:15,920 So, for example, a consignment of stuff to do a lot of work in Oregon about initiative through education involving communities and families. 440 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:25,220 And I think we can conclude this. Someone is doing it too, and new policy levers benefit learning. 441 00:58:25,220 --> 00:58:30,530 And the system is so sorry, that was quite clear. 442 00:58:30,530 --> 00:58:41,930 That last bit. But hopefully you can see hopefully where I'm trying to go is how can we bring together policy 443 00:58:41,930 --> 00:58:49,010 practise and research in ways mostly that I hope policymakers might listen and be involved? 444 00:58:49,010 --> 00:58:53,363 So thank you.
