The Passion of Teaching

"The Passion of Teaching: Dispositions in the Schools offers a deeper understanding of the various concepts and relevance of dispositions to teaching and other professions that serve in school settings. Robert Lee Smith, Denise Skarbek, and James Hurst provide a broad basis for conceptualizing the what and how of dispositions." "A valuable reference given the current emphasis on dispositions as expected components in many state and professional organization standards, this book also presents the legal and political implications and religious traditions of dispositions in teacher education programs and a model for the classification of research. The Passion of Teaching will be of interest to teacher educators, administrators, teachers, and other school-related professionals."--Jacket.
