Researching Rural-Regional (Teacher) Education in Australia

Abstract

This special edition of Education in Rural Australia, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia (SPERA), presents an opportunity to explore one of the few national projects investigating rural and remote teacher education. The study, Renewing Rural Teacher Education: Sustaining Schooling for Sustainable Futures is made even more relevant to the journal as four of the project team members have accepted responsibility for editing Education in Rural Australia, the only peer-reviewed academic journal in Australia concerned with rural, regional and remote education.
