Abstract: This issue contains a collection of six papers which, while they address quite distinct issues in teacher education, are connected by important historical and conceptual "glue."It is this glue that we highlight in this editorial.Three of the six papers were selected from manuscripts submitted in response to a call for scholarly papers on "historical and contemporary issues in teacher education," that is, papers that describe connections between past and present issues in the field.Although not submitted in response to this call, each of the remaining three papers also address issues aligned with one of the dilemmas in teacher education identified by Schneider (2018), in his paper, "Marching forward, marching in circles: A history of problems and dilemmas in teacher preparation."In particular, each of the papers addresses some aspect of the dilemma that teacher preparation programs face in their efforts to prepare all teacher candidates to teach all students across all contexts in a short and relatively inexpensive way.Together, the papers in this issue can help us consider strategies for making progress on this dilemma in defensible, reproducible, and generative ways.
