This special issue brings together scholars who attend to the voices, perspectives, and issues overlooked by teacher education policy debates dominated by market logic and accountability pressures. It highlights debates surrounding teacher performance assessments, teacher candidate selection, value-added assessments, as well as teacher preparation for linguistically diverse learners. The introduction to the special issue explores different dimensions of the relationship between research and practice urging teacher educators to become more proactive in policy debates. </span></p>}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Aydarova, Elena and Berliner, David C.}, year={2018}, month={Mar.}, pages={32} }
