Description
Book SynopsisUses vision to shed light on the complex relationship between teachers' ideals and the realities of school life. Through the stories of four teachers, this work reveals how teacher educators can help new teachers articulate, develop, and sustain their visions and assist them as they navigate the gap between their visions and their daily work.
Trade ReviewI am delighted with the work offered in this volume. I urge that all of us who educate teachers and who create the settings in which they work take its message very seriously. In seeing through teachers' eyes, we may develop a greater capacity to enhance their development and, through them, the development of all our children. - From the Foreword by Lee Shulman, President, The Carnegle Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching ""A beautifully crafted depiction of what teachers see, and strive to achieve. In Hammerness's closeup classroom world, all teachers are visionaries. This is an insightful, uplifting text that teachers and teacher educators will find a joy to read."" - Andy Hargreaves, Thomas More Brennan Chair in Education, Boston College
