"Over the last three decades, the issue of Europeanisation has received a lot of attention in some, especially traditional, academic fields. This discussion has not totally bypassed the field of teacher education, but comparatively with some other areas it has been developed somewhat later and to a somewhat narrower extent. This monograph is an enrichment, an important and useful contribution to the understanding of Europeanisation in the specific field of teacher education."

Prof. Pavel Zgaga, University of Ljubljana, Head of the Centre for Education Policy Studies

"The development of teacher education is usually based on national, cultural and political contexts:

policy makers and teacher educators often develop teacher education in isolation and do not learn from experiences beyond their borders. This book, with its focus on Europeanisation in teacher education, will contribute to increased and shared knowledge about teacher education in Europe and beyond. The book is a result of extensive comparative study of teacher education in three countries giving voices to various actors. It offers a theoretical, conceptual and practical text that increases our understandings of transnational processes in teacher education on different levels, and can thus be a great support for all scholars and students who study teacher education."

Dr Anja Swennen, Vrije University Amsterdam, Editor of the European Journal of Teacher Education

"While there has been speculation about what a European system of teacher education will look like since the formation of the European Union, there has been scant research and documentation of how such a vision has been enacted across diverse countries. In this carefully researched and highly important book on the Europeanisation of teacher education, the author draws on detailed case studies of three European countries to illuminate the similarities, differences, challenges, and possibilities for the development of the European teacher. In doing so, he raises questions and offers insights that are important for countries around the world, including the United States, as scholars and educators work to transform the practice of teacher preparation. This timely book offers all of us a starting place for a global vision of teacher preparation that is informed by local policies and practices."

Prof. Katherine Schultz, University of Colorado Boulder, Dean of the School of Education

"Teacher education is often viewed as a key pivot to address the Global Goals on sustainable development. This pioneering book provides critical insights into a diversity of approaches to teacher education that seeks to increase inclusivity, expand knowledge parameters and ensure equitable educational outcomes. It is ambitious in its conceptualization of the possibilities of teacher education, yet deeply self-reflective in its approaches to policy directives. This book provides valuable insights for scholars in teacher education worldwide and will become a valuable resource to ensuring quality education for all."

Prof. Irma Eloff, University of Pretoria, Chair: Global Network of Deans of Education
