"This book Studies on Quality Teachers and Quality In-service Teacher Education is directly connected with the book Studies on Quality Teachers and Quality Initial Teacher Education (Madalińska-Michalak, 2020). Both books focus on original and research informed writings related to prospective teachers, teacher educators, and teachers, and they address teacher education in the 21st century.
Teacher education is perceived as a highly complex process raising many challenges as well as many opportunities in the process itself. Therefore, the book offers to go beyond static understanding of teacher quality and focus not only on initial teacher education, but at the same time on the the contribution of faculties and schools of education on the development of teachers during their careers."
