It may be happening in the U.K. As James Noble-Rogers writes in The Independent:
A possible scenario is that . . . Michael Gove [the country's secretary of state for education] will call for a shift in teacher training from being run by universities in partnership with schools to being mainly school-based.
In other words, Britain's new government may ask teachers to do more on-the-job-type learning. Noble-Rogers, executive director of the Universities' Council for the Education of Teachers, supports?certain?moves in this direction, noting that his organization ?welcome[s] some of Michael Gove's proposals. We recognise the contribution that Teach First [a UK version of Teach for America, to put it simply], in partnership with universities, is making.? Noble-Rogers continues:
We support moves to raise the status of teaching through an increase in entry requirements, which will improve the perception of teaching as a profession. This could be supported by making it a master's-level profession. At the least, we must ensure teachers are entitled to structured early professional development that builds on and complements initial training.
It's worth watching for developments here.
