Abstract
This chapter explores a clinical practice model of teacher education at the University of Melbourne and the influences behind the decision to investigate and establish this new model of teacher education. It has been constructed in three key sections. Section one reviews the progressive changes in teacher education since the mid-1980s and Section two describes the theoretical conceptual thinking behind the restructuring of the Melbourne Graduate School of Education’s model for the Master of Teaching degree.
