Throughout the world, the challenges facing modern education are
formidable. Although some of the challenges facing are unique to
each educational jurisdiction, there are also some important
commonalities that transcend jurisdictions. Irrespective of the
nature of these challenges, there is an increasing focus on teacher
quality - what it is and how to enhance it. To date, research tells
us what expert teachers should be doing in their classrooms. This
approach is based on the idea that teaching expertise is nothing
more than the accumulation of specific skills and knowledge, and as
teachers acquire these skills and knowledge most of our educational
challenges can be overcome. This book questions this idea by asking
37 teachers who are already recognised as experts to share their
classroom secrets. Importantly, the teachers come from diverse
cultural contexts, including Australia, Finland, Hong Kong and the
US, and they share: how they became expert teachers; their
expectations for every student when they enter their classroom; how
they view and encourage teacher-parent partnerships; and what
skills and knowledge they consider important for expert teaching.
To our knowledge, this is the first book that compares and
contrasts the approaches taken by expert teachers from four very
different cultural groups. The book helps to demystify the work of
the modern teacher - what they do and the challenges they face. If
you aspire to be an expert teacher, this book provides a clear
model of how to approach the process. If you are an education
researcher searching for 'impact', this book outlines what are some
of the emerging hot topics in education research. If you are
involved in teacher education then this book offers some new
approaches to initial teacher education. If your focus is on
educational policy, this book helps make sense of the links between
the classrooms of expert teachers, education research and academic
achievement. Finally, this book will help parents understand how
best to partner with their child's teacher in order to enhance
their learning.
