Reforming Teaching Globally
Author: Maria Teresa Tatto
Publisher: Symposium Books Ltd
ISBN: 1873927754
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book seeks to raise the discussion of globalisation’s effects on teacher education, development and work, and its reforms and institutions, to a more theoretical and analytical level, and to provide specific examples in the comparative tradition to illustrate teacher policy in the context of education systems’ widespread variability and complexity. The contributors critically analyse current arrangements in teacher education, development and work, and highlight the forces that enter in this contested terrain, the sources of conflict and convergence, and the implication of these for teaching and learning, and for indigenous forms of knowledge and knowledge construction in the globalisation era.

Teachers Leading Educational Reform
Author: Alma Harris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317247884
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Teachers Leading Educational Reform explores the ways in which teachers across the world are currently working together in professional learning communities (PLCs) to generate meaningful change and innovation in order to transform pedagogy and practice. By discussing how teachers can work collectively and collaboratively on the issues of learning and teaching that matter to them, it argues that through collective action and collaborative agency, teachers are leading educational reform. By offering contemporary examples and perspectives on the practice, impact and sustainability of PLCs, this book takes a global, comparative view showing categorically that those educational systems that are performing well, and seek to perform well, are using PLCs as the infrastructure to support teacher-led improvement. Split into three sections that look at the macro, meso and micro aspects of how far professional collaboration is building the capacity and capability for school and system improvement, this text asks the questions: Is the PLC work authentic? Is the PLC work being implemented at a superficial or deep level? Is there evidence of a positive impact on students/teachers at the school/district/system level? Is provision in place for sustaining the PLC work? Teachers Leading Educational Reform illustrates how focused and purposeful professional collaboration is contributing to change and reform across the globe. It reinforces why teachers must be at the heart of the school reform processes as the drivers and architects of school transformation and change.

The Crisis In Teacher Education
Author: Anthony Adams
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135720673
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Teacher education is continually undergoing change and this book takes a close look into the current status. It examines the history of teacher preparation, the role of the employer and the aims of education, giving a critical review of the present climate where changes in several European countries are underway. They address the question of why the changes are being made now and conclude that such changes, particularly in the UK, are ideological as opposed to quality-based.; New proposals and legislation in the European Unions countries of Britain, France, Germany and Portugal are considered, from a comparative perspective, alongside Poland and the United States; the latter also experiencing change but for different reasons.; Aimed at all readers interested in the role of education in Europe, this text should also appeal to students and lecturers in education in Europe, and to the informed general reader interested in the state of education today.

Myanmar’s Education Reforms
Author: Marie Lall
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787353699
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This book reviews the state of education in Myanmar over the past decade and a half as the country is undergoing profound albeit incomplete transformation. Set within the context of Myanmar’s peace process and the wider reforms since 2012, Marie Lall’s analysis of education policy and practice serves as a case study on how the reform programme has evolved. Drawing on over 15 years of field research carried out across Myanmar, the book offers a cohesive inquiry into government and non-government education sectors, the reform process, and how the transition has played out across schools, universities and wider society. It casts scrutiny on changes in basic education, the alternative monastic education, higher education and teacher education, and engages with issues of ethnic education and the debate on the role of language and the local curriculum as part of the peace process. In so doing, it gives voice to those most affected by the changing landscape of Myanmar’s education and wider reform process: the students and parents of all ethnic backgrounds, teachers, teacher trainees and university staff that are rarely heard.
