Abstract

With the formation of the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) in 2013, and key policy changes initiated by the United States Department of Education, the landscape of teacher education in the United States has dramatically changed. This chapter provides an overview of international education initiatives that have impacted teacher education and the crucial roles that nongovernmental organizations and foundations have played in broadening opportunities for faculty and students. The pioneering work of several colleges in ensuring global perspectives are foundational to the teacher preparation curriculum and are described as a detailed case study of one university’s innovative practices.
