Good on paper but what about in practice? Preservice teachers’ professional identity for equity

This seminar examines preservice teachers’ identity development in a program specifically developed to prepare teachers to work with four priority learner groups. Study findings suggest preservice teachers’ limited critical action towards challenging social and educational inequities signalling for deeper analysis of how equity is framed within national education policy and practice.
