Description
Developing Creative and Critical Educational Practitioners by Victoria Door provides a framework for teacher educators to promote flexible and sustainable practice in their students. This approach is grounded in research from the UK and US, which highlights the importance of a coherent theory-practice approach to teacher preparation. The book explores key concepts such as the reflexive teacher, creativity as a basis for practice, and criticality as a necessary underpinning for educators. It draws on the experiences of teacher educators, student teachers, and in-service teachers, from new entrants to Lead Practitioners and senior management. By examining these elements, Door offers a foundational understanding for beginning teachers to join a community of practice based on scholarship, professionalism, and ethical practice. This book is an essential resource for those involved in initial teacher education, aiming to increase expertise in teacher development at all levels.
