Main, and David C. Virtue X T S Middle Level Teacher Preparation across International Contexts This volume offers a cross-national analysis of teacher education pro- grams designed to prepare teachers for work in middle level schools. The book showcases 15 detailed case studies of courses at institutions across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa—including from coun- tries currently underrepresented in middle level literature—which pro- vide detailed information on programming whilst foregrounding the political, social, and cultural factors which have influenced priorities within teacher education. Underpinning the book is a comparative case study framework, used to identify divergences and commonalities within and across nations whereby factors such as globalization, pol- icy, and socio-cultural views of teaching and adolescence are explored as determinants of the nature, success, and challenges of middle level teacher preparation. This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of middle level education, teacher education, and international and com- parative education. Those involved with educational policy and politics, as well as teacher training and the sociology of education more broadly, will also benefit from this volume. Cheryl R.
