About this book
This book revolves around curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self. It draws on extensive school-based studies conducted with teachers in the United States, China, and Canada, and weaves in experiences from other cross-national projects, keynote addresses, archival research, and editorial work. The elucidation of the ‘best-loved self’ drives home the point that teachers are more than the subject matter they teach: they are students’ role models and allies. Curriculum making and reciprocal learning relationships enrich teachers’ and students’ being and becoming as they live curriculum alongside one another—with the goal of more satisfying lives held firmly in view.
Reviews
“This book is impressive and timely. It makes a compelling case of how curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self are key to enhancing professional knowledge and development globally. A vivid and thought-provoking volume that makes a significant contribution to the field.”
—Maria Assunção Flores, Professor, University of Minho, Portugal
“This vividly written, thought-provoking volume offers deep insights into curriculum studies and teacher development in cross-cultural settings. It synthesizes a myriad of stories related to and based on reciprocal learning, narrative inquiry, curriculum making, and the best-loved self. It is quite simply a ‘must-read’ book.”
—John Chi-Kin Lee, Vice President (Academic), Provost and Chair Professor, The Education University of Hong Kong
