Expert Teachers is a compelling book that explores issues
surrounding the concept of the expert teacher from a truly
international perspective. Expert teaching, a global phenomenon
that exerts significant influence on education policy and practice,
has developed rapidly since the 1980s and significantly impacted
many teachers' careers. As a result, this book poses pertinent and
important questions scrutinising the topic as well as considering
possibilities for future models. The book reviews and expands upon
issues such as: What does it mean to be an 'expert' teacher? What
have been the most successful models of expert teaching? Is
rewarding a minority of the 'best' teachers a sustainable method of
raising standards? What is the role of expertise in furthering the
aim to make teaching a 'top tier' career? What are the dominant and
emerging models of expert teaching globally? What ways can we
expect models of expert teaching to develop in the future? With
case studies of specific systems, and analyses of the issues and
context therein, this book offers an exceptional insight into the
effects of expert teaching models - their effects on the teacher as
an individual as well as standards and education policy
internationally. The book argues that the current focus on pursuing
misleading high-stakes test scores is underserving the teaching
profession and that instead the focus for expert teaching should be
grounded in issues of social justice and community wellbeing. This
book will appeal greatly to current teachers, those currently
undertaking teacher training and students or academics carrying out
research in the field of teacher education, professional
development and expertise.
