Teaching in Mind : How Teacher Thinking Shapes Education

Teaching in Mind: How Teacher Thinking Shapes Education enhances teacher reflection by exploring unconscious beliefs, values, metaphors, and meanings that shape the educator's personal world and their interactions with students. Combining theory and practice applied to typical classroom situations, teachers learn how to 1.) identify their values; 2.) recognize and change limiting beliefs about teaching, learning, and knowledge; and 3.) recognize metaphors that offer new insights into the differences among teachers and classrooms.
