This review aims to highlight the main ideas of the book “Teacher Preparation in Scotland” organized by Rachel Shanks from Scotland. We initially surveyed the main ideas of the book, with emphasis on the history and currentness of teacher training in Scotland, with its phases, debates and way of functioning, especially the supervised internship and professional induction; the main place of teacher training, at the university or at school; the discussion about the greater emphasis on academic or practical knowledge; partnerships between institutions; the impact of educational policies on teacher education; the introduction of alternative routes and online and distance education to fill the shortage of teachers in Scotland; forms of teacher education, among others. Then we summarize its chapters, which contain various topics on teacher education in Scotland. Finally, we made a critique of how the book brings reflections that are important to think about the reality and the future of teacher education in Brazil.

Keywords : Teacher training in Scotland; history and current events; teaching professional induction.
