Constructing a Personal Orientation to Music Teaching: Growth,
Inquiry, and Agency, (Second Edition), is a textbook for studies in
music education. Expanding upon the first edition, the authors
promote inquiry and reflection to facilitate teacher growth,
lifelong learning, and a disposition toward educational change. The
revised text responds to current calls for social change and
teacher education reform by reaffirming and intensifying the need
for music teachers to adopt a personal orientation toward their
work. A personal orientation encourages teachers to initiate their
own growth, engage in inquiry, and exercise agency in school
contexts. Strongly grounded in current theories and research in
teacher education, Constructing a Personal Orientation to Music
Teaching: Growth, Inquiry, and Agency strives to do the following:
Engage readers in analyzing their own experiences in order to
conceptualize the complexity of teaching Involve them in clarifying
their reasons for seeking a career in teaching Support their
insights, questions, and reflections about their work Promote a
reflective, critical attitude about schools in general as music
teachers are urged to think of themselves as change agents in
school settings Construct a moral purpose as a compass to guide
their current and future endeavors in the profession. Every chapter
includes a wealth of pedagogical features, including new
methodologies and examples of practice to engage the readers in
processes of inquiry and reflection. The second edition is
organized in two parts. Part I focuses on positioning music
teachers as learners in the profession, significantly expanding
concepts explored in the first edition that are central to a
personal orientation to professional growth. In the new edition, a
reconceptualized Chapter 5 challenges teachers to cultivate their
identities as change agents. The second half of the book-focusing
on becoming a student of music teaching- features five new
chapters. A provocative chapter on curriculum sets the stage for a
set of additional chapters that invite deeper considerations of the
commonplaces of teacher, learners, subject matter, and context. An
epilogue speaks directly to the power of agency, imagination, and
hope in teachers' lives.
