Teacher Education and the Common Good: International Perspectives
Sat, April 9, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 159 BSession Type: WERA Symposium
Abstract
This symposium examines the changing relationships between the state and the common (or public) good in four countries: Canada, India, South Africa, and Australia. Using teacher education policy as the frame of analysis, the authors examine history, cultural context, and lived experiences in the four countries in order to explicate what notions of justice, social inclusion and exclusion, and citizenship emerge.
