Innovation has become common fare in all phases (preservice, induction, inservice) of the teacher education continuum. This review of the literature looks at innovative practices since 1987. Six chapters elaborate on innovations in teacher education from different vantage points. The first chapter includes a rationale for the review and summarizes review findings. Chapter 2, "Trends and Themes," situates innovations within the context of educational reform and introduces key innovative themes (collaboration, integration, reflection, experience, and inquiry). Chapter 3, "Innovations by Teachers and in Schools," presents a framework which groups innovations by personal or social form, structure, source, and participant involvement. "Innovations for Teachers Within/Across Organizations," the topic of chapter 4, highlights organizational initiatives introduced to support teacher development. Chapter 5, "Towards a Fundamental Purpose for Innovations," examines different levels of purpose (functional, structural, and visionary). The final chapter, "Present and Future Directions," offers a speculative analysis of innovative trends and possibilities. Appendix A provides references by the continuum (preservice, induction, inservice, and across the continuum); Appendix B provides references on innovations by teachers and in schools (individual, pair and group approaches); Appendix C provides references on innovations for teachers and within/across organizations (support systems, centres, partnerships).
