Abstract	This is on the surface a book about the role of the university in the education and professionl preparation of teachers. It examines that relationship in a cross-national perspective. The central argument is that describing the ways in which, within these three countries, universities regard school teachers and their professional education, will serve to expose a whole range of embedded attitudes about education, of cultural assumptions, and of political habits. The three countries - France, the United States and England - were chosen precisely in order to throw such differences into sharp relief. This book therefore is about differences rather than similarities... The geometry of the following chapters is derived from the axiom that to understand teacher education, above all in a cross-national framework, is to understand much more than teacher education. How teachers are educated, and where and by whom, reflect beliefs about what teachers are for and why society employs them. Any examination of such beliefs must unpack underlying theories of the purpose of an education provided by the State. Such theories in turn can be shown to be part of a rich texture of national habits and assumptions (as well as controversies) about the nature of the State, the actual and desirable shape of society, the duties and autonomy of the citizen, the relationship between education and the economy, and the character of that culture which it is one of the purposes of the schools to transmit.
