Challenges for initial teacher education in the context of 'twenty-first century' learning imperatives Authors Rosemary Hipkins and Jo MacDonald This chapter addresses a complex challenge that is yet to be widely debated in initial teacher education. How might teacher educators more effectively educate beginning teachers to respond to so-called 'twenty-first century' learning imperatives? The authors draw on six principles identified in a 2012 study of 'future focused' trends in education. The chapter is one of 19 in Innovation and Accountability in Teacher Education: Setting Directions for New Cultures in Teacher Education, available online complete and by chapter.
