Autor Ora Kwo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 sep 2010
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.

Recenzii

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)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In movements of educational reform across the world, educators are forging new roles, identities and relationships. Leadership is of course vital, but needs to be rooted in a capacity for learning. This volume responds to some of the tensions and paradoxes typically associated with educational reform, presenting a critical discourse on teachers as learners. Contributing authors highlight a range of culturally related challenges that teachers should not face in isolation. Sustainable teachers’ learning ideally requires a collective engagement to turn challenges into opportunities in the quest for meaningful professional development. This book offers a vision of a new relationship among educational workers as a joint force of learners in a cross-boundary endeavour aimed at a renewed moral commitment to education.Ora KWO is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Hong Kong.
