Transforming Teaching

Transforming Teaching shares the successes and the problems that were solved by a diverse group of educators during the global pandemic. The shared stories from around the globe will help and inspire any teacher to develop skills to support blended learning in whatever teaching situation they find themselves.
Including lessons to be learned from Kindergarten to University, this book introduces new ways of working and pedagogical approaches appropriate for developing global skills. It importantly focuses on teacher narratives to aid personal reflection and encourages readers to take responsibility for their own professional development. Each chapter prompts teachers to reflect and build on new skills developed through distance and blended learning, use of technology and new ways of relating to students.
Responding to an educational need at a time of crisis, this book is essential reading to all who are interested in the future potential of education and those who want to shape future emerging practice.
