On the Construction of Practice-Based Teacher Educator Training Curriculum
Based on relevant domestic and international research on teacher educators and the authors'practical experience in designing and implementing teacher educator training programs,this study proposes a model called TRAIL for practice-based teacher educators'professional competencies,focusing on teaching,research,administration,individualized instruc-tion,and lecturing.Based on this model,we elaborate on the TRAIL training course's core elements,theoretical founda-tions,and implementation strategies for practice-based teacher educators.The TRAIL training curriculum can enrich the theoretical grounds about teacher educators'professional competencies and developmental paths,suggest practical implica-tions for teacher educator training program designers and implementers,provide a reference for promoting the professionaliza-tion of practice-based teacher educator training curriculum,and inform the formulation,implementation,and refinement of teacher-educator-related policies.
