This review discusses initial and continuing teacher education from Wales’s perspective. It explores initial teacher education (ITE), student teacher assessment and subject knowledge. In 1997, educational matters were devolved from Westminster to the Welsh Government. Since then the curriculum has diverged from that of England (Jones & Lewis, 2016), making Wales an interesting context in which to review science teacher education. Moreover, such a review is timely as Wales moves forward with far-reaching reform of the curriculum, ITE and teacher practice (Furlong, 2015; Donaldson, 2015).
