Towards a Professional Standard for Dutch Teacher Educators
Abstract
SUMMARY A standard for teacher educators has been developed in the Netherlands to serve as an instrument for their professional development. The Dutch Association of Teacher Educators (VELON) took the initiative to develop this standard for the 'teachers of teachers'. In this article we place this development in a wider context, linking it to the literature. The launchpad for the development of the standard in the Netherlands are the teacher educators themselves and we give the five important starting points used in the development of the standard. The actual content of the standard for Dutch teacher educators is an important part of the article. We also discuss some of the dilemmas we were confronted with during the process of developing the standard and we present our plans for the future, linking these to developments in other countries, especially in the United States, and placing it in an European perspective.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
