Relational Teacher Development is a powerful account of the
professional renewal of a classroom teacher. This narrative inquiry
tells the story of the four-year collaborative relationship between
Bob Fitzgerald, an experienced elementary school teacher facing a
poor performance evaluation, and Julian Kitchen, an educational
researcher who helped Bob earn a positive review. These stories
reveal how their collaboration enabled Bob to renew his practice
and re-ignite his passion for teaching by directing his own
professional development. In puzzling over his positive impact as
an accidental helper, Kitchen identifies and critically examines
seven key characteristics of his relational stance towards Bob.
Relational teacher development is presented as an approach to
understanding teachers as curriculum makers and, more
significantly, as a way of helping teachers harness their personal
practical knowledge in order to renew classroom practice and
improve student learning. This book will appeal to educators and
policy makers who believe that respect, care and relationship are
as critical to teacher development and renewal as they are to
student learning.
