How might we envision the role of the teacher?

Some of the big ideas (in no particular order) include: BCTF Code of Ethics; aims of education (e.g., Dewey, Schiro); social responsibility; activism; green living; modelling; partner with parents; BC College of Teachers/ASR standards; professionalism; case studies; Parker Palmer, Deborah Britzman, Stephen Brookfield, Eliot Eisner

 


These and other texts are available in the Education Library. Excerpts are available in the Scarfe 302 Faculty Advisor Office (organized by guiding question).
