Abstract
The paper is concerned with attempts to reform the outer structure of teacher education. Structure as used here refers to the totality of formal, legal, financial, and administrative arrangements that make institutions of teacher education what they are. A case study of various attempts to change structure within the province of Nova Scotia in the last 25 years is used to illuminate the various concerns, problems, and factors affecting attempts to change the structure of teacher education both in Nova Scotia and elsewhere.
