Drawing on ethnographic and practitioner inquiry methods, Crawford-Garrett highlights the voices of the teachers as they wrestle with urban poverty, question bureaucratic mandates, resist dehumanizing reform initiatives, and experiment with critical pedagogy. The book examines how their socialization into the profession positions them as passive recipients of knowledge and engenders deficit ideologies of students, families, and communities. Ultimately, this book attends to the role of the teacher educator in introducing multiple educational lenses to the corps members and asserts that the university methods course can encourage new teachers to (1) critically engage with the institutional settings which shape their experiences, (2) question and problematize deficit ideologies, and (3) adopt and enact identities as knowledgeable practitioners.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 220gAuthor: Katy Crawford-GarrettBook Series: Educational PsychologyGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Children's Learning & Education, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
