Abstract: The Westminster government is currently consulting on a major reform of initial teacher training (ITT) in England. The main goals of this reform are to embed a core curriculum/syllabus for ITT and to introduce a new 20 day `intensive practice' placement for all trainees. This is to be achieved by a reorganisation of the ITT market underpinned by reaccreditation of all providers. The proposals have been widely criticised by those working in ITT. In this paper, I argue that the goal of the reform is the right one - indeed the evidence is stronger than has been recognised - but that this could be better achieved by slightly different means. The paper also serves to clarify the nature and background to the policy debate for those who are less familiar with ITT in England.
