What’s in Education for Hope for Teacher Educators?
Details for Teacher Educators Working In Other Faith-Based Traditions
|
More for Teacher Educators who prepare teachers in a faith-based university from a different tradition:
Philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff once observed that to do justice to any tradition, one should understand how it interprets its vision, how it expresses that vision, and the relevant highlights of its narrative. To those three requirements, I add a fourth: one should also understand a tradition in its cultural context. Education for Hope represents my effort to do justice to the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition of alternative education.
Did you know the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition in Canada is unique for its long history of teacher led curriculum and pedagogical reform? This book considers the high and low points of this remarkable trait. You will see the vital role a teacher preparation program makes to encourage curricular/pedagogical reforms among new teachers.
Interested in community narrative? Education for Hope provides a high altitude look at Canadian wing of the Dutch Neo-Calvinist school movement in North America. You may be surprised by what this tradition has, or has not done. Are you and your faculty members aware of the historical efforts key leaders have made to redirect the course of this tradition? Is your tradition in need of a course correction? Does your education faculty have one vision or many? Education for Hope is a catalyst for engaging these discussions.
Interested in personal narrative? Education for Hope offers the author’s own journey as an adopted son of this tradition. Compare this story to your own and to other members of the education faculty.
Do you engage in issues of curriculum, pedagogy and school reform? Education for hope contains a theoretical section called “Dig Deeper.” If you want your colleagues and/or students to engage in discussions about curricular, pedagogical and school reforms, these discussions can help define the issues, themes and problems you want them to address.
Ever wonder what all the busyness of teacher preparation should lead to? This book argues for a particular meaning of Hope as the outcome for teacher education in our time. Check it out!
