This chapter illustrates what can be learned about teacher education through a narrative self-reflection of three academics at various stages in their career (earlycareer, mid-career and experienced teacher educators). The three teacher educators shared a âshockâ through their respective involvement in the reconceptualisation and redevelopment of the Bachelor of Education (Primary) core program at their university. Using Schawbâs (1969) âflights from the fieldâ as an interpretive tool, this event is the trigger used to re-story the personal experience of the academics. Flights from the field allow problems between theory and practice to become known. Each teacher educator experienced Schwabâsâflightsâ differentially, but shared a âflight with marked perseverationâ in their workplace (Schwab, 1970). Looking across the self-studies of the three academics, the final analysis reveals similarities and tensions in teacher education. Examining the tensions highlights gaps in the way that teacher education is âlived and relivedâ in Australian universities on a daily basis.
