The final report [30] of a comprehensive,
multi-stage study highlights the positive impact of
the Essentials Course on Teacher Education
Institutions, teacher educators, pre-service teachers
and new teachers who completed the program
during their pre-service training. It also identifies
the factors that underpin success. During the first
stage of the study, the purpose of the evaluation
was to better understand what is needed for
effective delivery of the pre-service course, such as:
length of time, the number of modules being
implemented, etc.
