    Abstract

    This chapter considers the challenges of impact in self-study in teacher education by framing the issue in two discrete ways. First, because engagement in research is a prerequisite for impact, the challenges teacher educators might perceive in embracing and utilizing self-study of teacher education practices (S-STEP) methodology in their work is considered. Second, because impact suggests that doing one thing will have a tangible effect on another, the extent to which engaging in self-study can influence the quality of teacher educators’ experiences and/or teacher education practices and policy is also considered. The chapter concludes with a discussion and review that invites the reader to contemplate ways forward for self-study research in teacher education.
