This is the final and synoptic part of the book. It integrates major themes through discussion of teacher expertise and professionalism.
‘Expertise’ (Chapter 16) harvests and integrates powerful ideas from previous chapters into a holistic conceptual framework of enduring issues in teaching and learning. The chapter constructs a framework describing dimensions of expert thinking. In Chapter 17, ‘Professionalism’, we consider the role of the teaching profession on our societies and suggest how reflective teachers can contribute to democratic processes.
