How to Live Teacher Education: Reparative Perspectives From the Pacific

Fri, April 4, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, Franklin 3

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium provides an alternative teacher training approach that acknowledges the importance of teachers’ actual lived experiences as learning/teaching subjects within the “affective” turn in educational research. “How do we live teacher education?” frames this collection of papers, asking how the experience of living and learning within a program of teacher education can provide a way of exploring our relation to others. We argue in this session that such practices promise a more complex and nuanced understanding of what is means to live as teachers within our learning communities that is situated, temporal, and partial yet promises a productive tension that can foster change and healing in a time of education reform.
