"Girlies on the Warpath": Addressing Gender in Initial Teacher Education.

Coffey, Amanda J.; Acker, Sandra

Gender and Education, v3 n3 p249-61 1991

Interviews with 14 teacher educators explore why gender issues (official guidance, teacher ideologies, teaching as women's work, and classroom survival) receive low-key treatment in initial teacher education in England and Wales. Interviews illustrate infusion of a women's studies perspective into teacher education and gender into the teacher education agenda. (SLD)
