Big moves to improve the quality of teacher education in China

---

Purpose – This article aims to describe and discuss four major innovations to improve the quality of
teacher education including preparation programs and professional development programs in recent
years in China. The four major innovations include establishing the National Curriculum Standards for
Teacher Education (NCSTE) and the National Teacher Certification Examination; implementing the
‘‘double development plan’’ to reform clinical practice; launching the ‘‘National Training Plan’’ to develop
in-service teachers; and consolidating the career ladder for teachers.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper takes the form of a review of the government documents
and current literature.
Findings – The author argues that the four major innovations reflect the central trends to reform teacher
education both in China and the USA – increased standards and accreditation, more clinical
experiences in preparation, increased use of technology in teacher professional development, and
more accountability and incentive for teachers.
Originality/value – When the world is faced with the globalized economy, cultural exchange and social
equity issues, discussions about the recent innovations of China’s teacher education will shed light on
our understanding of better approaches to improve teacher quality that no doubt connect tradition and
local practices with global convergence.
