The 37th ATEE Annual Conference "Policies and Professionalism in Teacher Education " will be hosted by Anadolu University from 25 to 29 August 2012 Eskisehir (Turkey).

One of the most important challenges that education systems face is developing the quality of teachers.

The development of teachers as professionals has the potential to make a significant contribution to addressing the challenges that education systems face in today’s global society.

However, educational policy reforms which emphasize the quantitative measurement of knowledge in order to achieve a top place in international performance surveys can create tensions with ambitions to enable teacher professionalism.

The conference will enable interaction, dialogue, knowledge exchange and creation in relation to the topics set out above through keynote addresses, parallel sessions where papers will be presented and discussed.

The preliminary programme, and all information concerning registration, papers submission, logistics and payment facilities.

The deadline for the submission of proposals is 15 May 2012.

The Association for Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) is a non-profit European organisation, whose aim is enhancing the quality of Teacher Education in Europe and supporting the professional development of teachers and teacher educators at all levels.
