Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom: Partnerships and the Moral Dimensions of Teaching

In response to growing concern in the 1980s about the quality of public education across the United States, a tremendous amount of energy was expended by organizations such as the Holmes Group and the Carnegie Forum to organize professional development schools (PDS) or “partner schools” for teacher education. On the surface, the concept of partnering is simple; however, the practice is very costly, complex, and difficult. In Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom, Robert V. Bullough, Jr. and John R. Rosenberg examine the concept of partnering through various lenses and they address what they think are the major issues that need to be, but rarely are, discussed by thousands of educators in the U.S. who are involved and invested in university-public school partnerships. Ultimately, they assert that the conversation around partnering needs re-centering (most especially on the purposes of public education), refreshing, and re-theorizing.

Becoming a Student of Teaching: Methodologies for Exploring Self and School Context (Critical Education Practice)

Based on 10 years of classroom experience, this work challenges the traditional view of beginning teachers as passive recipients of expertise. It demonstrates how novice teachers can be encouraged to discover their skills and talents, gain new insights, and become active and enthusiastic participants in their own instruction.  The first chapter lays out a solid theoretical base built around nine methods for guiding and shaping a future teacher's education. The methodologies are based on the authors' own extensive expertise and scholarship, and reflect recent work being done in the field. Each methodology is explored in its own chapter that includes an overview of the guiding principles, how to achieve successful interaction with students, samples of student work accompanied by commentary, and suggested ways for teacher educators and their classes to further explore the methodology.While the primary focus of the book is on preservice teacher education, the final chapter discusses inservice on the grounds that teacher education reform must include a linking of preservice and inservice.

Preschool Teachers’ Lives and Work

Preschool Teachers’ Lives and Work focuses on preschool teachers as people, what they do, and how they are affected by what they do. Highly politicized and hotly debated, preschool today is increasingly focused on comparatively narrow views of school readiness and academic outcomes which are generally in opposition to the broader view of readiness proposed by NAEYC. This powerful book, based around interviews and data drawn primarily from Head Start programs, illustrates the profound humanity of this profession and underscores the pressing and insistent need for greater investments in teachers’ well-being.
