All faculty of one college of education were asked:  \n\"What are the tasks/obligations of a faculty member at a college of  \neducation? Please list the ones important to you. \" Content analysis  \nyielded eight themes which were used for construction of a closed  \nquestionnaire containing 61 items describing teacher educator tasks.  \nThis questionnaire was distributed to all teacher-training colleges  \nnationwide. The faculty members were found to perceive their role as  \ncomposed of four major components: member of an organization;  \nresearcher; teacher; person. The findings will help formulate a clear  \nrole definition that will enable faculty members to understand the  \nscope of their work at colleges of education and develop a  \nprofessional profile definition.  \nIntroduction  \nTeacher education has changed in the last 15 years and with it the role of faculty members at teacher education colleges (Loughran, 2014; Swennen, Volman, & Essen, 2008) . The range of activities required of teacher educators has expanded, from teaching a discipline and its related pedagogy and supervising the student trainee's practicum, to encompassing additional tasks, such as conducting research, participating in conferences, designing curricula, and participating in academic committees. To date, faculty members in colleges of education do not have a comprehensive and clear role definition. There are no clear instructions that define which of the additional tasks are obligatory and which—if any—are optional or subject to the discretion of the individual teacher educator. Nor does the preparatory formal training address the entire scope of the teacher educator's job (CochranSmith, Feiman-Nemser, & McIntyre, 2008; Kosnick, Cleovouloua, Fletchera, Harrisa, McGlynn-Stewarta, & Becka, 2011; White, 2013) . There are very few instances in which teacher educators can clearly define their role as either teachers or researchers. In most cases, the boundaries are blurred (Buchberger, Campos, Kallos, & Stephenson, 2000; CochranSmith, 2003; Lunenberg & Hamilton 2008). As Cochran-Smith (2003) noted, there is a striking disparity between the numerous and diverse demands made on teacher educators on the one hand, and the absence of a training program or a defined policy that could guide them throughout their professional life on the other hand. A comprehensive program should define what teacher educators need to know and do in order to meet the complex demands of teacher education in the 21st century.
