Abstract
This chapter reports on a curriculum initiative which was implemented within secondary initial teacher education (ITE) programs in a university department of education of an inner-city area of London, England. The training programs are for pre-service students intending to teach pupils aged from 11 to 16 years and are of one year’s duration. These programs are embarked upon after successful completion of a subject specialist undergraduate degree. Partnership requirements for all ITE in England mean that the courses must include both university- and school-based elements, and in fact, students spend the majority of their time in their placement schools. University-based provision is structured around subject studies and professional studies.
