Empowering Educators - by Patrick Alan Danaher & Karen Noble & Kevin M Larkin & Marta Kawka & Henriette Van Rensburg & Lyn Brodie (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Empowering educators can be understood in two ways simultaneously: educators who work effectively and successfully to empower their students and thereby the families and communities to whom their students belong; and the need for these same educators to be themselves empowered by means of appropriate resources and support, relevant professional development opportunities and access to up-to-date research to enhance their content and pedagogical knowledge. The distinctiveness of this book's approach lies in the range of teaching and learning 'hot topics' and 'wicked problems' that each chapter draws on to explore these parallel manifestations of empowering educators. The book presents a number of proven principles and successful strategies that have been demonstrated by rigorous research to be effective in assisting teachers to carry out their fundamental mission of helping their students to achieve significant learning outcomes"--
