The book positions storytelling as a transformative literacy practice that integrates care, cognition, identity, and learning, and is grounded in relational ethics and transnational feminist perspectives on voice, identity, and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough storytelling, students and teachers engage not only in literacy practices but in acts of care â for self, for others, and for the larger world. Reading, writing, conversing, questioning, and analyzing become transformative practices that cultivate intellectual growth and emotional well-being by uniting body and mind, experience and imagination, memory and hope. The book examines narrative methodology, reflection, reader response, expressive writing, object narratives, visual storytelling, and role-play as pedagogical approaches that foster active participation, critical thinking, and meaningful collaboration. In this sense, storytelling is presented as an embodied literacy practice that supports meaning-making and professional judgment alongside academic development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a valuable resource for teacher educators in literacy and language education, as well as preservice teachers seeking to develop reflective, relational, and care-oriented pedagogical practices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53733973131607,"sku":"9781041244431","price":43.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781041244431.jpg?v=1782119418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/cultivating-care-wellbeing-and-reflection-in-teacher-education-9781041244431","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
