ABSTRACT
During the Fall term of 1995, I had the good fortune of spending my sabbatical leave at Queen’s University in Canada. One of the major reasons for going to Queen’s was to work with teacher educators and student teachers and to experience a different approach to pre-service teacher education from the one in which I teach in the School of Graduate Studies at Monash University. Tom Russell hosted my visit and initiated a research project so that we could actively pursue a study of teaching in teacher education. Through this project I was invited into all of Tom’s classes as well as those of his colleague Peter Chin.
