Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
1 258 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Despite deans playing critical roles in education, little is known about the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed for the job, or the practical dilemmas they face on an almost daily basis. Each chapter of this international collection opens the role up for examination and critique, developing a deeper understanding of what it means to be a dean, and offering insights into the transition into the role, managing the daily demands and expectations of it, and what it means to exit the deanship. The book brings being a dean and the leadership inherent in the position into sharp focus based on international perspectives on doing the job.

This book culminates five years of extensive field-based inquiry with teachers and principals in four reforming school contexts. It arises from living alongside teachers and principals, entering into their realities, engaging them in conversations, seeing school life through their eyes, and employing the words and images they use to wrap around their experiences. It involved thinking narratively about schools as sites of high drama within which teachers and principals negotiate meaning as knowledgeable and knowing human beings. It gave primacy to everyday events taking shape on school landscapes. It meant creating spaces and devoting enormous amounts of time to observing and listening hard to what teachers and principals say and do when reform initiatives become personally lived in context--from their points of view.

Truth and Knowledge in Curriculum Making, addresses issues in curriculum and instruction, such as the lack of Black teachers, minority representation, and mentorship.The book arose from a serial interpretation of five published narrative inquiries that pinpointed complexities lived in a teacher knowledge community at T.P. Yaeger Middle School, a campus located in the fourth largest urban center in America. The inquiry initially resulted in a documentary-style presentation at an educational conference using performance narrative inquiry as an arts-based method to recount the research. In Truth and Knowledge in Curriculum Making, the process of researchers turned actors is unraveled by looking at the lived experiences and identifying the embodied knowledge of teachers in different content areas including Physical Education, Music, Teaching English as a Second Language, Mathematics, and Reading. The authors use parallel stories, counter stories, story constellations, musical narrative inquiry, performance narrative inquiry and other narrative means of sense-making as they examine how they may relate to those stories. Ethical research dilemmas, including the how and why behind each author’s choice to burrow into difficult topics such as race, gender and conflict resolution are revealed. By unpacking the hidden curriculum, examining value creation and by revealing isolated relational experiences of participants and researchers, Truth and Knowledge in Curriculum Making instantiates and outlines how truth and knowledge may be formed in educational settings through intertwining narrative inquiry, teacher knowledge and aesthetic ways of knowing.

From Teacher Thinking to Teachers and Teaching
The Evolution of a Research Community
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
1 195 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
This volume covers advances that have occurred in the thirty year existence of the International Study Association on Teachers and Teaching (ISATT), the organization that helped transition the study of teacher thinking to the study of teachers and teaching in all of its complexities. This evolution meant that teachers and the act of teaching are no longer exclusively studied from the outside, but from the inside as well. The chapters capture an international paradigm shift that set the course of teaching and teacher education research. The origins of the movement are traced, work of researchers who contributed to the movement is featured, the spread of the movement into new regions is followed, and the future of the international research community that resulted is imagined. Thirteen section editors and the two main editors present the volume by themes, with work from several regions covered in each theme area. Each sub-section includes (1) a representative sample of research conducted historically on a particular topic; (2) a review of what developments have occurred in the interim; and (3) contemporary piece/s of scholarship.

To this point in time, teacher education has been approached in mostly insular ways because it is largely driven by state and national education policies. However, the spread of the global economy and the increased stature of international comparison tests (i.e., TIMSS) has changed all that. All countries in the world understand that education is vital to human and economic prosperity and that teacher education unavoidably is implicated. But the snag is this: political forces shaping public opinion in individual nations (particularly the U.S.) are deeply divided concerning how teacher education should proceed. This book acknowledges this Achilles heel tension, but does not become weighed down by it. Instead, it focuses on 'the practical' (Schwab, 1969), matters that have been locally deliberated and enacted. Pedagogies are named, origins (cultural/practical/theoretical/policy roots) are traced and a live example of the pedagogy unfurling in the local setting is presented from an insider-view. After that, the conditions necessary for the pedagogy to be transported successfully to another international location are discussed.

Understanding Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement
Digging at the Roots
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
1 154 kr
Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Literature on academic entitlement is almost always associated with students with little examination of entitlement with reference to educators. Feelings of entitlement among educators make them hold onto rigid 'inherited scripts' and constrain the development of flexibility required in this global and technologically disruptive era. It is imperative that we understand how entitled behaviours are triggered in the discursive context of teachers' practice.Understanding Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement develops a significant body of professional knowledge by providing a deeper and sympathetic understanding of what manifests itself as 'excessive entitlement'. The volume presents a theoretical framework within which one can investigate and articulate issues and helps those concerned with education and teacher education internationally to get a sense of the complexities surrounding teachers' work.Bringing together researchers from diverse geographical contexts, this timely book primarily addresses educators and researchers with a spin-off to human resource management in diverse organizational settings.

Connecting the constructs of meaning and experience in the fields of English education, teacher education, literacy and narrative inquiry, Making Meaning with Readers and Texts materializes new insights for advancing teacher education research, broadening understandings of teachers’ use of literacy practices for making meaning from classroom events.Exploring new possibilities for framing and reframing learning to teach, Edge advances teacher education research through longitudinal inquiry into beginning teachers’ meaning making from classroom events. Novel applications of theory combined with field-based research advances the development of conceptual and practical frameworks for teaching and teacher education. Documenting meaning-making as prospective teachers transition into teaching, extending seminal theories from language arts, reading, and literacy to teacher education, Making Meaning with Readers and Texts advances a new theory for how teachers can fully utilize literacy skills in and for their teaching practices.Reconsidering well-documented problems in preparing teachers and reimagining teaching as reading and composing—curriculum, identity, relationships – Making Meaning with Readers and Texts is crucial reading for teacher educators, English educators, and literacy scholars.

Teachers’ Stories of Burnout
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Teacher attrition and burnout have been researched in school districts all over the country for several decades. Characterised by physical and psychological exhaustion, cynicism (as an interpersonal and emotional indication of built-up aggression), and a sense of helplessness and low self-efficacy, burnout can lead to anxiety, depression, diminished job performance, absenteeism, and attrition.Drawn to the Flame investigates incidences of burnout and burnout avoidance among educators in both K-12 and higher education spheres during the COVID-19 pandemic – a period that saw an intensification and increased frequency of polarizing sociocultural and socio-political conditions, resulting in psychosocial and emotional strain among those invested in education. Through narrative inquiry, the chapters present the stories of teachers in a variety of settings (e.g. urban, suburban, rural) and sociological conditions (economic, racial, sex/gender), who experienced first-hand the impact of the pandemic and the chaotic transition to remote learning, the impact of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and racial strife, on students and curricular planning processes.

Beginning as a predominantly white European and North American organization in 1983, it now has active membership from more than 60 countries across the globe.The ISATT 40th Anniversary Yearbook, comprised of four volumes, reflects this growth through celebrating the contributions of ISATT members over time and offering current scholarly research to inform current and future teacher education and teaching. This volume, Teacher Education in the Wake of Covid-19, pays particular attention to ways in which teaching and teacher education have been impacted by, and responded to, advances in technology and to the coronavirus pandemic. The editors present chapters dedicated to examining the tools of technology and their impact within teaching and teacher education as we look toward the future possibilities. The chapters analyze the lived reality of pivoting to embrace pandemic pedagogogies; the pandemic and social relationships; assessment during the pandemic; and the consequences for equity and agency. They also examine the tools of technology and future possibilities as well as how technology unavoidably became a part of the global teaching and teacher education pandemic response.All four volumes making up the 40th Anniversary Yearbook offer invaluable insights for teacher educators and educational researchers the world over, offering international perspectives from North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and Australasia.

Narrative Inquiries Into Being and Becoming Educators: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives provides stories and narratives of the struggle and strengths of the teachers within the educational landscape. Keeping the temporal perspective wide, the chapters are situated across history, from 1700 to the present and through a variety of perspectives or lenses. This approach aligns with the three dimensions of narrative inquiry: the personal and social (interaction); the past, present, and future (continuity); and place or situation. Each chapter takes a unique positioning across time and situation, illuminating the personal and social interactions while using narratives as data to inquire into “becoming” a teacher. Most importantly, this book unpacks diverse experiences of teachers from the past and present, and it is critically important to understanding the emergence of teachers’ identities or “stories to live by” expressed in narrative terms. Each of the featured authors evidenced this through serial interpretation, and broadening and burrowing to construct meaning.Teacher education is inextricably linked to teachers’ lives, and narrative inquiry studies lives in motion. Therefore, each of these chapters employs narrative inquiry as the research method or a way of thinking to explore how educators’ unique teaching experience and perspective impacted the educational landscape. The book looks at the art and science of “becoming” a teacher, not just from the temporal perspective of pre-service education, but from a holistic view of becoming throughout the storied life of a teacher. The contributors to this book understand that narrative inquiry is a rich and complex method that allows them to explore the meanings that participants derived from their experiences, and to catch the voices that may have otherwise remained silent.This book acts as a compass for navigating the seas of narrative inquiry approaches and makes important knowledge contributions to the local, national, and international research base on teaching and teacher education.

This second collection of perspectives on excessive teacher/faculty entitlement draws together authors from nine countries to address afresh the ‘conundrums’ affecting teaching and teacher education through the new lens afforded by the notion of excessive entitlement.After Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement helps teachers/educators negotiate the living contradictions they experience in their sociocultural and institutional milieux which threaten their professional, emotional, and moral survival with the defensive shield of excessive entitlement they feel compelled to embrace. Chapters provide guidance to increase the possibilities of co-creating better learning and working environments for all to realize the commonly cherished educational and life goal of human flourishing.Besides education and teacher education practice, After Excessive Teacher and Faculty Entitlement has relevance for dealing with excessive entitlement in organizational contexts by offering new ways to view and address the problem.
