Moore's insightful text explores and makes better sense of
professional practice by examining that practice in the context of
popular views. The book identifies and elaborates three dominant
discourses of good teaching: * the competent craftsperson,
currently favoured by central governments * the reflective
practitioner, which continues to get widespread support among
teacher trainers and educators * the charismatic subject, whose
popular appeal is evidenced in filmic and other media
representations of teaching. All of these are critiqued on the
basis of their capacity both to help and to hinder improved
practice and understandings of practice. In particular, it is
argued that the discourses all have a tendency, if not checked, to
over-emphasise the individual teacher's or student teacher's
responsibility for successful and unsuccessful classroom
encounters, and to understate the role of the wider society and
education system in such successes and failures. Winner of a
Society for Education Studies book prize in 2005, this is a
well-informed source of advice and support for teachers and anyone
considering teaching as a career.
