Abstract
The explanatory potential of Foucault's theory of disciplinary power is considered in relation to recent innovations in educational policy in schools in England. Foucault maintains that ‘correct training’ is central to the maintenance of disciplinary power; the nature of current changes being forced upon initial teacher education institutions by central government offers further illustration of the explanatory power of Foucault's theory. The argument as a whole is used to illustrate the importance of developing theoretical perspectives in teacher education.
