Foreword to "Reconstructing the Work of Teacher Educators Finding Spaces in Policy Through Agentic Approaches—Insights from a Research Collective"

This book began in lively debates and provocations of the field in the Teacher Education and Professional Learning (TEPL) Research Group in the Faculty of Education, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia. As co-leaders of the research group, we were adamant that scholarship should not only represent research in the field of teacher education but also provoke and irritate accepted understandings and principles. Notable amongst these orthodoxies were the relationships between policy and teacher educators’ practices in their courses, assessment and pedagogies.
