International Handbook of Teachers and Teaching. This item is unavailable.International Handbook of Teachers and Teaching

This handbook provides chapters that review both the major traditions of work and the newest perspectives, concepts, insights and research-based knowledge concerned with teachers and teaching. Many of the chapters discuss developments that are international in scope, but coverage is also provided for education in a number of specific countries. Many chapters also review contemporary problems faced by educators and the dangers posed by politically-inspired attempts to "reform" schools and school systems. The handbook should provide a useful resource for scholars, teacher-educators and graduate students.
