Inclusion and Social Justice in Teacher Education

Description

The scholarly chapters in this edited collection come from authors undertaking social justice research within the teacher education discipline.

With a focus on social justice and inclusion, the book concentrates on themes of equity, diversity, learning spaces and effective learning for all, examining the implications for teacher education. An array of critical traditions and methodologies that interrogate educational issues from political, cultural, structural, and social perspectives are explored.

This book provides insights on building the capacities of teacher education stakeholders in teaching and learning contexts to understand and respond with equity and justice. Teacher educators, preservice teachers, practicing teachers, and other education stakeholders may find this book to be an excellent resource for developing a critical lens relating to social justice and inclusion in education.
