Shaping a Professional Identity: Stories of Educational Practice
Book details
Summary
Description
This book extends Connelly and Clandinin’s groundbreaking work on “personal practical knowledge” as the way through which teachers hone their craft― Teachers’ Professional Knowledge Landscapes (1995). Working with a group of teacher researchers, they address the question of how professional identities are formed. The volume includes richly textured stories of professional lives in teacher, administrative, and curriculum-making settings. These thoroughly readable, autobiographical depiction’s help unravel the narrative interweavings of professional contexts, teacher knowledge, and teacher identity. The authors’ insightful interpretations of these stories provide valuable implications for teacher education, professional development, and progressive school change.
