Book Talk Holistic Teacher Education: In Search of a Curriculum for Troubled Times

Abstract

The purpose of this collection is to bring together approaches (actual or conceptual) to initial and/or ongoing teacher education/preparation curriculum that can be described as holistic (however we understand that). This is a text in curriculum studies but also, of course, a text in teacher education. We asked for chapters that highlight teacher education curricula for a variety of formal and informal contexts not just K-12 education. We also looked for approaches to teacher education curricula that are reconstructionist/reconceptualist in nature. That is, they seek to shift the trajectory of society through teacher education. This panel discussion will explore general themes and specific chapters in the in-press book Holistic Teacher Education: In Search of a Curriculum for Troubled Times to be published by Cambridge Scholars press from the UK.
