A very few years earlier to your teacher training, I was appointed Pro Vice Chancellor in a British university with one of the largest teacher training faculties in the UK.My academic responsibilities included a watching remit over my ‘share’ of faculties , including education . During my tenure, that faculty underwent a complete re accreditation exercise, something undertaken periodically, which involves in depth scrutiny of courses, syllabus provision , practices, outcomes etc etc.
As part of that we had to arrange for a visiting party including experts in all areas of our provision. I recall that on this particular party were two educational psychologists, one a University Professor, the other a practitioner.
