Matthew Clarke, Anne Phelan

Teacher Education and the Political

The power of negative thinking

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anxieties around teacher education have never been greater, nor criticisms of its practices stronger. These anxieties are manifested in recent policy developments, which are depoliticizing and de-intellectualizing teacher education. Against this background, they illustrate how contemporary theory can provide a language for critiquing recent developments and imagining new trajectories for policy and practice in teacher education.
