{"product_id":"9781909682399","title":"Developing Creative and Critical Educational Practitioners","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book encourages teacher educators to promote flexible and sustainable practice in their students, enabling them to flourish within an ever-changing educational environment. Research from the UK and US strongly indicates that a coherent theory-practice approach to teacher preparation is key.  The book outlines what such a framework can look like, a rationale for it, and how it can work in practice for groups and individuals. It explores the notions of the reflexive teacher, creativity as a basis for practice, and criticality as a necessary underpinning for educators. The discussion draws on the research and experiences of teacher educators, student teachers and in-service teachers, from NQTs to Lead Practitioners and senior management. It proposes the foundational understanding for beginning teachers to join a community of practice based on scholarship, professionalism and ethical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book is part of the successful \u003cem\u003eCritical Guides for Teacher Educators\u003c\/em\u003e series edited by Ian Menter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Critical Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151374467312,"sku":"9781909682399","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781909682399_p0.jpg?v=1763625066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781909682399","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
