Affective Teacher Education is one of the first books to provide
teacher educators, classroom teachers, school administrators, and
teacher candidates with research and recommendations related to
affective education. All teachers want to become professional
educators; they want find satisfaction and reward in their chosen
careers. Likewise, all teachers want to show their students in all
grade levels and in all subject areas how to acquire, apply, and
appreciate appropriate dispositions or outlooks related to the
course content and as a community of learners. This book guides and
supports teachers to fulfill these two goals. Each chapter explores
a different aspect of affective education and offers the reader
useful suggestions to prompt self-assessment, professional
conversations, and developmental activities. Affective Teacher
Education helps teachers to visualize teaching and learning
holistically, linking the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that
students need to know, do, and feel, to achieve in school and
become lifelong learners.
This collection of original research explores ways that educators
can create participatory spaces that foster civic engagement,
critical thinking, and authentic literacy practices for adolescent
youth in urban contexts. Casting youth as vital social actors,
contributors shed light on the ways in which urban youth develop a
clearer sense of agency within the structural forces of racial
segregation and economic development that would otherwise
marginalize and silence their voices and begin to see familiar
spaces with reimagined possibilities for socially just educational
practices.

Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician,
anthropologist, and educator known around the world for her
educational philosophy and pedagogy. Her work established
educational environments tailored to the child where autonomy and
independence are encouraged within thriving and respectful
communities. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Montessori Education is an
accessible resource tracing Montessori education from its
historical roots to current scholarship and contemporary issues of
culture, social justice, and environmentalism. Divided into six
sections the handbook encompasses a range of topics related to
Maria Montessori and Montessori education including foundations and
evolution of the field; key writings; pedagogy across the lifespan;
scholarly research; global reach; and contemporary considerations
such as gender, inclusive education, race and multilingualism.
Written by scholars and practitioners based in over 20 countries,
this is the go-to reference work for anyone interested in
Montessori education.
