Teacher Learning That Matters International Perspectives

'Teaching learning that matters is an excellent resource for academics, teacher educators and those researching this area. This is a serious tome which would reward reading either its entirety or just chapters of particular interest. It is very well written and extremely well edited, and I applaud the editors and contributors for providing such a rich perspective on this diverse and challenging subject.' - Mike Calvert, York St John's University, UK - Journal of Education for Teaching 'Teacher Learning that Matters helps to undermine "silver bullet" ideas of professional development, and pushes our field towards a more complex and much needed view of teacher learning in the coming decades.' -Teachers College Record 'In an ever changing world, reform of education is the norm. This implies continuous teacher learning. This volume brings together a range of perspectives on teacher learning, and addresses cognitive as well as social aspects of teacher learning. In particular, the book demonstrates how teacher learning is situated in the structures and cultures of their school practice, and how, in that context, the relationships between teachers, and between teachers and school leaders, teacher educators, and students, are pivotal to bring about teacher learning that matters.' - Jan van Driel, Leiden University, the Netherlands.
