The role and activities of national advise
rs engaged in the translation of globally mobile
ideas on effective teacher education has received little attention. Drawing on in
-depth
semi
-structured interviews, this article explores how government appointed advisers
acted as intermediaries in the translation of policy ideas in national reviews of teacher
education in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (2010-
2015). T
hree themes
are
addressed
: (1) the
localisation of international
good
practice; (2) the significance of time
and temporality in local policy deliberation; and (3) the autonomy
-engagement dynamic
in government commissioned reviews of public policy fields. The article reports how
advisers ex
hibit
ed transgressive competence in the re-
assembly of policy ideas in local
spaces. With attention to time, space and positionality, the article concludes
by
emphasising the significance of localised political strategies in shaping policy choices
and pros
pects for enactment.
