Intended to help teacher candidates develop an educational foundation and an inquiry stance towards their on-going teaching identity through developing a critical, ethical, informed and reflective habit of mind; one that considers the perspectives of various educational philosophers, theorists, researchers and practitioners on the journey to teaching excellence. Using a case study approach, teacher candidates will consider authentic school-based dilemmas through a variety of lenses: Personal, Philosophical, Professional, Pedagogical, Parental and Political.
