Book Description

This book explores the concept of the “best-loved self” in teaching and teacher education, asserting that the best-loved self is foundational to the development of teacher identity, growth in context, and leaing in community. Drawing on the work of Joseph Schwab, who was the first to name the “best-loved self,” the editors and their contributors extend this knowledge further through the collaboration of their group of teacher educators, known as the Faculty Academy, who have been involved in examining teacher education for over two decades.
