The International Handbook of Teacher Education Worldwide aims to provide us with a much needed picture of what is happening in teacher education in a considerable number of nations throughout the world. Of course, no handbook can provide us with more than a series of initial snapshots of what are very complex situations.
But by bringing together these initial pictures, we can then begin to go further in dealing with the questions of how the multiple programs of teacher education described here function in our changing world.
