| Abstract

What does it mean to be a teacher in today's world? And what makes a 'good' one? Judging by the wide disparities in contemporary teacher training and educational policies, it would seem that no one is quite sure. Philosophical Perspectives on Teacher Education presents a series of well-argued, thought-provoking essays that point to the ethical considerations that should be addressed when proposing and implementing teacher training and educational policies and practices. Utilizing a variety of approaches from the philosophy of education, contributors explore a series of issues relating to current policy statements on teacher education and training: Do they adequately address the practical and ethical demands teachers will face? If not, how are they deficient? And is there a better way of thinking about the preparation for a career in teaching? To answer these questions, initial chapters highlight the knowledge and understanding required of teachers-what it is that they need to know. The text's next section addresses the concerns of teachers as ethical agents-the idea of what makes a good teacher. Offering invaluable insights into pressing philosophical concerns of educators, Philosophical Perspectives on Teacher Education is an essential resource for those considering-and currently engaged in-teaching, and those seeking up-to-date reflections on contemporary trends in philosophy of education.
