  • From personal process to educational research, Ways of Being in Teaching moves away from outcomes of learning to share how the relational is always present in the educational enterprise; whether in the context of the classroom or the broader public, educational efforts emerge from and construct cultural conceptions of equity.
  • In this volume the authors explore the often hidden elements of their practice, revealing the heartfelt nature of teaching and learning.
  • In this volume the authors weave together an international collection of chapters that celebrates the humanness implicit in teaching and learning; each chapter provides reflective and reflexive interpretations of how the autobiographical is often relational.

About this book

As teachers, we share experiences with one another. It is a way to make sense of our teaching lives and teaching selves. Ways of Being in Teaching is that kind of sharing; it is a scholarly conversation that will appeal to teachers who are tired of the tips and tricks, and want to talk more deeply about how to flourish in this profession. Most of us know ways to strengthen and sustain self, soul, heart, identity, and how these key touchstones also strengthen teaching. This book recognizes that who we are, where we are, and why, is as much a social process as a personal one. Attending to life purpose is a way of attending to teaching. Chapters in this text are insightfully forthright, challenging us to undertake the rigourous work of discovering who we are as human beings and how this impacts who we are with our students. Canadian curriculum scholar Cynthia Chambers asks us to listen for what keeps us awake at night, and with Ways of Being in Teaching we bring what we have heard into the daylight, into the conversation. “This collection of reflections and conversations does more than provide provocative reading for the reflective teacher. It invites practitioners to find their own place at the table of sharing and to welcome the stories that will certainly come as a result of engaging with this community of life writers.” – Carmen Schlamb, Professor, Seneca College
