{"product_id":"9780791490471","title":"Teaching Selves: Identity, Pedagogy, and Teacher Education","description":"This is a book about how identities arise, in particular, about how individuals \"become\" teachers, and how pedagogy in teacher education programs can promote identity development. Teaching Selves argues that being a teacher is not a matter of simply adopting a role but rather involves the construction of an identity as a teacher. Focusing on identity, the book tells the stories of six undergraduate students enrolled in a secondary teacher education program at a large state university. Through a qualitative study made up of interviews, observations, and teaching experiences with the subjects over a three-year period, the author explains the process of becoming a teacher, concentrating on the influences of education courses and other features of the teacher education program. Filled with students' stories and personal reflections from the author, Teaching Selves offers a personal vision of what is possible in a very public endeavor-the education of new teachers.","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128183177456,"sku":"9780791490471","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780791490471_p0.jpg?v=1763663133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780791490471","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
