This work challenges and broadens existing conceptions of teacher professional development used by teacher educators, and school administrators. Based on critical pedagogy, sociocultural principles and adult learning theories, it offers an alternative framework for understanding the relevance of teacher agency and how it can impact on education.
The current accountability environment of education in the US has focused on the discussions of improving the quality of educational outcomes based on a set of assumptions that exclude the perspectives of the teacher. This book fills important gaps in the educational reform rhetoric from a theoretical and practical perspective because it first argues for the professionalization of teaching so that teachers can make professional decisions in their classrooms, instead of simply following directions from their supervisors in a top-down fashion. Then, the book provides a detailed framework that can assist educators in creating spaces where teachers can exercise agency in a way that will benefit their students.
