Description
This collection supports teachers and other educators to put key ideas about education to work in an accessible way, equipping them to realize the promise of their professional lives.
Bridging school, further and higher education contexts, it draws on the distinctive contributions to research and scholarship that have been developed in Scottish education in recent times.
Structured in three parts, it focuses first on key ideas and debates in education around posthumanism, education policy, professional standards, decoloniality; antiracism and children's rights and agency. It then moves to themes specifically related to teachers, including identity, agency, educational leadership, professional learning and more-than-human teachers. The book's final section deals with approaches to teaching such as curriculum making, creativity, play, outdoor and inquiry-based learning, transitions, and inclusion. Each chapter closes with with reflective questions co-created with practitioners, enabling readers to respond to the challenges, opportunities and recurrent themes that teaching presents.
