Produktbeschreibung
In the worldwide movements of educational reform, educators are forging new roles, identities and relationships. Leadership is vital, but must be rooted in the capacity for learning. This volume responds to the tensions and paradoxes brought by educational reforms, presenting a critical discourse on teachers as learners. The contributions bring an array of cultural settings and methodological orientations, and reveal contextual burdens that teachers should not carry in isolation. Teachers’ learning demands collective engagement to turn challenges into opportunities in a sustainable quest for higher goals. The discourse concludes with a vision for a new relationship among educational workers as a joint force of learners in a cross-boundary endeavor for moral commitment to education.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:
"The book is an outgrowth of a meeting in Hong Kong of the World Assembly of the International Council on Education for Teaching (ICET). The result is a thorough and thoughtful examination of the role of the teacher as both a source of knowledge and a person who is in the process of learning. ... should be read by every professor of education, every student teacher, every teacher, every principal, every school board member, and every superintendent." (Linda Wanner, Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft, Vol. 56 (4), 2010)
