Teacher Education is an important enterprise. However, its complexity is often both overlooked and taken for granted. Good teacher education programs attend not only to the design of the whole so that essential components, integration with service courses across the university and respectful connections to public school setting and often community components that allow for quality practice experiences are orchestrated to education outstanding teachers. Across the globe, education is the appropriate response to the many problems both developed and developing countries are confronted with. An educated populace is the appropriate response to most societal problems and teacher education that prepares quality teachers is essential.

Such programs attend not only to the individual critical components but also to program design that links and integrates these into a coherent whole.
This research topic invites researchers to propose articles that either examine overall program design or focus on innovative and proven ways to attend to each of the vital components listed below.

Professionalism encompassing the education of future teachers as professionals.
Technological innovation in the instruction of preservice teachers, which focuses not on the teaching of technology but ways that technology is employed in teacher education.
Reflection where not only is reflection a component but one that includes self-assessment to promote teacher development within and beyond teacher education.
Social and emotional learning focuses on the ways in which a component of teacher education promotes the social emotional learning of future teachers and enables them to attend to the social emotional learning of their students. Qualifications of strong teachers examines how programs can attend to the development of strong qualifications of teachers
