A consensus on the make-up of critical skills, areas of knowledge, and preferred dispositions of Doctoral PETE graduates to work successfully as both teacher educators and researchers in a variety of university contexts is lacking. This workshop specifically targets those engaged in doctoral and non-doctoral PETE programs, and focuses only on issues regarding the delivery of quality PETE programs, articulation of “best practices” within D-PETE programs, and central skills, knowledge, and dispositions of D-PETE graduates.
