About this eBook
As technology becomes more widespread and the world continues to change in many other ways, teachers have adapted to allow education to evolve with the 21st century. This book provides theoretical foundations and highly practical strategies for classrooms tackling modern challenges, drawing in part on the ideas and experiences of practising teachers. The authors highlight how crucial education is for equipping future generations with the skills for individual, societal and planetary wellbeing, while still considering the pressures of ‘teaching to the test’.
Every teacher balances a range of priorities as they enter a classroom which this book addresses:
•Teaching for personal development, including autonomy, resilience, critical thinking, mental health and overall wellbeing
•Teaching for social development, for the workplace but also for community participation and social life generally
•Teaching for equity, inclusion and political and global/environmental commitment
•Teaching for digital knowledge and skill, in ways that are technologically advanced and substantively relevant
•Enhanced teacher identity, professionalism and wellbeing
The book will be an essential companion for teachers, particularly those at the start of their training and in preservice roles, with plenty of practical suggestions and strategies.
