This paper considers the ways in which teachers might
benefit professionally from their involvement in school-
based ITT. Based on a qualitative investigation conducted
in a large English comprehensive school, and informed by
a number of preliminary investigations in other schools,
the paper considers teachers' claims about their profes
sional development through working with student
teachers. Nevertheless, whilst a large member of positive
outcomes are reported, the paper sounds a note of caution,
suggesting that many conditions must be satisfied in order
for teachers and their schools to benefit significantly from
their teacher education work.
