The study explores a possible method of facilitating and enhancing the professional development of teacher educators, by promoting professional insights through the discussion about pedagogical dilemmas. The inquiry into their own practice and discussions about pedagogical dilemmas proved to be ways of conducting self-study during the interactive team meetings. The goal of these meetings was to reflect on the supporting workshops whilst empowering the newly qualified teachers. It gave the mentors an all-important opportunity to rethink their practices and their underlying perceptions as well as their fundamental values.

This article presents the results of an exploratory research study into induction practices of novice teacher educators in six different countries. This study aimed to answer the question, 'How do novice teacher educators experience their induction period?' Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 11 beginning teacher educators. The findings indicated that induction is quite problematic. None of the teacher educators experienced a satisfying induction into their institute and the profession as well. The results of the interviews mirror the two levels of induction. Firstly, it refers to the organizational induction into the teacher education institute. Secondly, it is about becoming a member of the profession (professional induction).
