A Journey of Professional Becoming
Series: - The Doctoral Journey in Education, Volume: 8
Author:
This book adopts the arts-based methodology of social fiction to explore the professional becoming of a teacher educator, Patricia Morgan. The aim of the book is to examine and generate new knowledge about how cumulative life and educational experiences shape teacher educators as teachers, doctoral candidates, academics, mentors and colleagues. Through reading Patriciaâs story, you will explore how she reflects on, and tries to make sense of, who she is as a learner, educator and professional. Grounded in research on the work of teachers and teacher educators, Patriciaâs story will encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and support you in becoming the professional that you aspire to be.
Judy Williams, PhD. (2008), Monash University, is adjunct Senior Lecturer at that university. She has published extensively on teacher professional learning and transitions, with a particular interest in self-study and autoethnography. Her works include the monograph by Hayler and Williams: Being a teacher educator in challenging times: Negotiating the rapids of professional learning (Springer, 2020).
