Samenvatting

In 2005-2006 the VELON developed new ambitions to strengthen its activities and to create a more professionalized organization. Part of the new ambitions was to strengthen its involvement in policy debates. VELON’s participation in debates on teacher education was rather incidentically. 

However, to be taken seriously, it is necessary to have a clear position.
For that reason the VELON started a process to write a policy statement on teacher education in Spring 2005. Draft versions were discussed during the annual conference in March 2005 and during the general assembly in June 2005. Based on the feedback received, a final policy statement was made.
Since associations for teacher educators and also the ATEE as a European association for teacher education, might have a similar ambition, it might be useful to study the Dutch policy
statement.
For that reason we translated the document.
