SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Professional Learning, Induction and Critical Reflection: Building Workforce Capacity in Education offers a rethinking of professional induction within the discipline of education. This book argues for a pedagogy of induction to begin the process of engaging with the profession at the outset of university study rather than at the end. Whilst situated in education, the process of a pedagogy of induction is one that can be applied in other contexts. The book challenges highly technicist and one-size-fits-all approaches to teaching and becoming a teacher. Instead, it presents evidence for helping university students (or pre-service teachers) to feel as though they are part of the teaching profession from the beginning of their study and to understand that teaching involves multiple perspectives. The book provides a framework for traversing the nexus between theory and practice. It draws on case studies that show how a strengths-based approach to professional induction challenges deficit views and builds collective agency. The book focuses on the interrelationships of personal and professional identity development in building workforce capacity"--Back cover.
