Philosophy of Education in Action: An Inquiry-Based Approach is a practical and holistic introductory guide to creating, articulating, and implementing your educational philosophy. A philosophy of education statement represents the teacher candidate's first attempt to put their fundamental thoughts and attitudes into words that will form the foundation for future classroom decisions. Dr. Nicholson's text allows the reader to explore their philosophical leanings through observation and experience. Authentic, real-world examples encourage readers to reflect on practice and articulate their philosophical beliefs. My students have benefited from Dr. Nicholson's practical yet skilled approach to crafting their first educational philosophy.

This innovative book introduces philosophy of education by inviting readers to wonder "what if..." about the purpose of education, to explore related historical, philosophical, and pedagogical ideas, and evaluate multiple educational scenarios from the lens of one's own perspective and experience. Nicholson's approach fosters reflection that guides readers to examine and refine their views about teaching and learning and align those with classroom practices and the design of schools. The second edition contributes "other voices" for further critical engagement. This is a much-needed text in the field of teacher education.

Philosophy of Education in Action: An Inquiry-Based Approach (2nd edition) truly personalizes philosophy of education as readers analyze the influence and impact of philosophy on educational practices - at any level. This book engages teacher candidates, experienced teachers, school and district-based leaders, community members, and others in exploring philosophy of education through their educational experiences. Considering, understanding, and acting upon the connections between an educator's philosophy of education and the philosophic basis of what occurs in schooling is most important. This book makes philosophy of education genuinely accessible and connected to all aspects of the teaching and learning process.

Thank you for Philosophy of Education in Action, 2nd edition. I just finished reading your absolutely wonderful text and I KNOW that this book will brilliantly fit the needs of my students in a graduate philosophy course that I teach, Educational Practices. I have been teaching such a course for many years. Through the years, the needs of my students have evolved. Currently, my students are in need of what this book delivers: a philosophical-based text grounded in solid scholarship with practical experience and thought-provoking questions. Thanks again for this wonderful read and sparking such creative thought.
