This review of the research literature is about fast track schemes in teacher education, and
specifically focuses on what is currently known about such schemes run by the organisation Teach
For All (TFA). In stark contrast to traditional university-based teacher education, schemes
characterised as fast track provide would-be teachers a greatly accelerated programme of study
and practical experience for gaining entry to teaching in schools. Within a wide variety of
alternative routes for teacher training and eventual certification (credentialing), so-called fast
track programs have been one of the more visible and aggressively developed and marketed
schemes over the last twenty-five years. Initially conceived and developed as Teach For America,
similar fast track teacher education programs are now also established as Teach First UK and
Teach For Australia, and such a scheme is currently under negotiation and development as Teach
First New Zealand. TFA schemes have been established in some 18 countries around the world.
