Abstract
This chapter analyses the work of the Teacher Education Futures Forum (TEFF), which was initiated and convened by the authors in 2011 to discuss the future of teacher education across a range of countries. The TEFF comprised a group of teacher educators from nine countries who had all expressed an interest in considering future trajectories of teacher education and who were involved in teacher education reform in their own countries. The group identified trends and tensions that existed in each country regarding teacher education. These trends were used to provide drivers of teacher education which were further analysed. The chapter explains how the group was introduced to a process of scenario building by one of its members and it provides illustrations of scenarios that were devised in the first forum meeting. It expands on methodologies used by this group to create scenarios. The outputs of this group of teacher educators included a special issue of a journal on teacher education futures, and a programme of research in this area, culminating in the publication of this book.
