Teachers At Their Best: The Case For A New School Model And A New Teacher Concept (Teachers Leading)

The purpose of Teachers at Their Best: The Case for a New School Model and a New Teaching Concept is to change the conversation about teacher induction, preparation, and development , and how we create effective teachers. Rich Waters posits that our national discussion needs to move away from how higher education can do a better job preparing our teachers and, instead, move toward how our local schools can do a better job inducting, preparing, and developing our teachers over a full career. This book clarifies that teachers are at their best when they are working together in collaborative cultures where teacher-thinking and decision-making lead schools in continuous improvement and change. Elaborating on the importance of these best conditions for optimal teacher development, this book will insist that it is the entirety of a school culture that produces effective teachers, and schools with authentic learning communities produce the cultures that produce effective teachers--back cover.
