Description
Teacher Subject Identity in Professional Practice focuses on a key, but neglected, element of a teacher s identity: that of their subject expertise." "Studies of teachers professional practice have shown the importance of a teacher s identity and the extent to which it can affect their resilience, commitment and ultimately their effectiveness. Drawing upon narrative research undertaken with a range of teachers over a period of 14 years, the book explores how subject expertise can play a significant role in teacher identity, acting as a professional compass guiding teachers at all levels of their professional practice. It reveals powerful individual stories of meaning-making which highlight the dynamic importance of teachers subject expertise The book s metaphor of a professional compass goes to the heart of teacher professionalism, and provides a valuable mechanism to enable teachers to respond to challenges they face in their daily practice. It enables teachers to consider the moral dimensions of their practice, and can constitute a significant component in professional formation and identity. Throughout the book the importance of subject expertise for teachers professional practice is explored at a range of scales: from the classroom to broad education policy, and at different stages of a teacher s career which offers readers a deeper understanding of the importance of subject expertise for teachers. " Teacher Subject Identity in Professional Practice" makes a significant contribution to an under-researched area. It identifies the role and significance of teachers subject expertise as a dimension of their teacher identity. The book is key reading for teacher educators, policy makers and researchers with an interest in teachers professional development and practice."
