Promotes a model of critique
for teachers, scholars, and policy makers to challenge established
educational practice in a global context.
The Wiley International Handbook of Educational Foundations
features international scholars uniquely qualified to examine issues
specific to their regions of the world. The Handbook provides readers
with an alternative to the traditional texts in the foundations of
education by taking aim at the status quo, and by offering frameworks
from which teachers and scholars of education can critically evaluate
schools and schooling. Throughout, the essays are grounded in a broad
historical context and the authors use an international lens to examine
current controversies in order to provoke the kinds of discussion
crucial for developing a critical stance.
The Handbook is
presented in six parts, each beginning with an Introduction to the
subject. The sections featured are: Part I. Challenging Foundational
Histories and Narratives of Achievement; Part II. Challenging Notions of
Normalcy and Dominion; Part III. Challenging the Profession; Part IV.
Challenging the Curriculum; Part V. Challenging the Idea of Schooling;
and Part VI. Challenging Injustice, Inequity, and Enmity.
The Wiley International Handbook of Educational Foundations offers unique insight into subjects such as:

- The global implications of equity-driven education
- Teacher education and inclusionary practices
- The Global Educational Reform Movement (G.E.R.M.)
