Issues such as climate change, digital transformation, threats to democracy, migration, inclusion and peacekeeping require a new approach to teacher education and qualification. The authors of this book examine how teacher education can respond to these and other global challenges of the 21st century. The authors from Germany, Poland and the USA shed light on practice-orientated and theoretical concepts and discuss the opportunities and risks of the approach of addressing major societal challenges as cross-cutting issues in teacher education.
