This book about teachers as characters in popular media examines
what can be learned from fictional teachers for the purposes of
educating real teachers. Its aim is twofold: to examine the
constructed figure of the teacher in film, television and text and
to apply that examination in the context of teacher education. By
exploring the teacher construct, readers are able to consider how
popular fiction and film have influenced society's understandings
and views of classroom teachers. Organized around four main
themes-Identifying with the Teacher Image; Constructing the Teacher
with Content; Imaging the Teacher as Savior; The Teacher Construct
as Commentary-the chapters examine the complicated mixture of fact,
stereotype and misrepresentation that create the image of the
teacher in the public eye today. This examination, in turn, allows
teacher educators to use popular culture as curriculum. Using the
fictional teacher as a text, preservice-and practicing-teachers can
examine positive and negative (and often misleading)
representations of teachers in order to develop as teachers
themselves.
