Abstract

This chapter examines what emerges when a group of colleagues work together as a course team to embed and then bring to life practice-based education standards within a course – in this case primary teacher education – in the form of curricular strategies. Key features of this intentional work are that it occurs over time and must be continually revisited and benchmarked against the standards to ensure that the program is on target and aligned with the very standards that underpin it.
