Curriculum Making, Reciprocal Learning, and the Best-Loved Self

This book revolves around curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self. It draws on extensive school-based studies conducted with teachers in the United States, China, and Canada, and weaves in experiences from other cross-national projects, keynote addresses, archival research, and editorial work. The elucidation of the ''best-loved self'' drives home the point that teachers are more than the subject matter they teach: they are students'' role models and allies. Curriculum making and reciprocal learning relationships enrich teachers'' and students'' being and becoming as they live curriculum alongside one another-with the goal of more satisfying lives held firmly in view.
