Shaping a Professional Identity

D. Jean Clandinin F. Michael Connelly

<p>In the revised and updated second edition of The Tone of Teaching, bestselling author Max van Manen defines sound pedagogy as the ability to distinguish effectively between what is appropriate, and what is less appropriate in our communications and dealings with children and young people as parents and educators. The author: -Shows how tactful educators develop a caring attentiveness to the unique; to the uniqueness of children, and to the uniqueness of their individual lives-Describes how this "tone" of teaching can be sustained by the cultivation of a certain kind of seeing, listening, and responding to each child in each particular situation-Offers practical insights for both educators and parents</p>

Maculinities and Schooling: International Practices and Perspectives

Frank, Blye W.

The writing of lives is part of a long, scholarly tradition and has been seen variously as a sub-branch of history, literature, and cultural studies. Auto/biography has been used in educational studies to bring understanding to the historical conditions of educational actors, whether students, teachers, parents, or policy makers. It has been used as a research tool to explore experiences of schooling and its impact on future lives as well as to identify patterns in teachers' perceptions. The authors have set two main points for this book about auto/biography and education. First, they set out to investigate comprehensively the uses of auto/biography, including its benefits and dangers. Second, they seek to explore how one can judge the value of using biography and auto/biography as historical and cultural sources for education. In doing so, they offer guidance on how to analyze texts, helping the reader to develop a more nuanced and complex understanding of people's stories. Unlike others in this area, this book draws on writings in a variety of disciplines, including psychology, literature, education, women's studies, and the philosophy of history. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and researchers in education, the social sciences, and the humanities. It will be attractive to an international audience, especially because of the authors' affiliations with a variety of institutions in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
