DESCRIPTION:*How a university provider worked in collaboration with partne
 r schools to develop new approaches to 'Teaching _for_ Diversity'*\n\nIn t
 he new policy environment schools will have to take increasing responsibil
 ity for initial teacher training. Some have interpreted this as a threat t
 o university providers (HEIs). However\, the future need not involve an ei
 ther/or approach. \n\n_'Teaching *for* Diversity'_\, explored understandin
 gs of what diversity means in schools and how it can impact on teachers' p
 ractice and pupil development. It contrasted 'strand based' approaches to 
 diversity with broader understandings relating to pupils' life stories.\n\
 nThe approach was co-constructed by schools and the HEI (Canterbury Christ
  Church University) and each brought different strengths to the table. The
  project offers lessons on how schools and universities can work in partne
 rship to deliver outstanding teacher training. \n\n*Key Questions*\n# What
  is “Learning to Teach in Diverse settings?”\n# How can schools and un
 iversities collaborate to deliver outstanding Initial Teacher Education (I
 TE)?\n# What lessons can we learn as we move to an increasingly school bas
 ed system of ITE?\n\n*Who should attend?*\n# Anyone interested in diversit
 y in education\n# Anyone interested in policy changes relating to Initial 
 Teacher Education and new school-based/school-centred models\n# Trainee te
 achers trying to understand how diversity impacts on your practice\n# Trai
 nee teachers seeking evidence for QTS standards 18\, 19 and 25a \n\nTalk i
