Synopsis

This collection of interpretations of teacher development begins from a humanistic and critical starting point. It is humanistic in that its prime purpose is to understand teacher development, not to prescribe ways of managing it.

Louden (Ministry of Education, Western Australia), Christopher Clark (University of Michigan), Antoinette Oberg (University of Victoria, Canada), Susan Underwood (University of Victoria, Canada), Dennis Thiessen (University of Toronto), Ivor Goodson (University of Western Ontario), Michael Huberman (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Michael Apple (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Susan Jungek (National College of Education), Heather-Jane Robertson (Canadian Teachers' Federation)
