Description

Curriculum Theorizing and Teacher Education offers a critical perspective on the field of teacher education. Anne Phelan argues that it should focus on questions of teachers' intellectual and political freedom, as well as concerns about the legitimacy of what is taught in teacher education. By exploring curriculum theorizing through ethical, political, and aesthetic vocabularies from the Humanities, this book provides a valuable framework for informing debates about new trajectories for policy and practice. In an era where performativity, standardization, and accountability are prevalent, this work highlights the importance of preserving relationships, independent thought, and ethical judgment in education. This book will be of interest to teacher educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand how curriculum theorizing can inform the revitalization and re-politicization of education.
