“…The research ® ndings from an ITE±school initiative (Hannon & Welch, 1993), in which a workshop was set up to include parents, indicated that`the school and the ITE institution had each gained a greater recognition of the subtlety and complexity of their separate roles ¼ respect for each other had grown' (p. 290), that the parents involved`had felt highly valued by the experience' (p. 288), and that many of the student teachers involved in the workshop thought that the topicÐ preparing students for work with parentsÐ`should be an integral part of the PGCE' (Postgraduate Certi® cate of Education) (p. 286).

This report is part of The Teachers as Learners Project, a study of teachers undertaken in primary and secondary schools in the south of England to investigate the role of initial teacher education (ITE) in the formation of teachers' professionalism. The sample was divided into three groups of new teachers, medium and long-serving teachers. We report here, ® rst, teachers' responses to the question: what gaps did they perceive in their own ITE? The two major gaps, reported by over four ® fths of our sample, were dealing with behavioural problems and contact with parents. The general conclusion was that neither of these could easily be provided within ITE. Second, we asked whether teachers could take over responsibility for training new teachers, and over four ® fths said that they could not. Some of their reasons are given in the report.
