Abstract
The above quotes capture some of the tensions in recent debates particularly but not exclusively in England about how and where teachers are best prepared for their profession. In England this has been particularly intense during the period since the Conservative and Liberal Democratic Coalition Government came into power in 2010. As heralded above by Michael Gove, this administration presided over unprecedented reforms to teacher education in the form of the drive towards school-led initial teacher education in which schools have much more control and ownership of how teachers are prepared and where the main context for learning is the school.
