Abstract
This collection presents a variety of perspectives and experiences of learning about teaching and learning during International Professional Experience (IPE), in a range of global contexts. As such programs are becoming increasingly popular in many universities, it is timely to explore this dimension of teacher education, and the personal and professional learning gained by pre-service teachers, their university and school-based mentors and host communities. In this chapter, the editors provide an overview of the IPExperience program presented in the book, including policy and institutional contexts, the development of the IPE program, discussion of key concepts and a summary of each chapter.
