In our work as educators, we all aspire to be effective. We also
aspire to be wise. If teachers are to represent and advocate for
education, we must become the stewards of a discourse that nurtures
education’s possibilities. This book explores how teacher
dispositions are defined, developed, cultivated, and assessed. The
authors in the volume consider the various and interconnected ways in
which educators’ values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors are
performed and how these performances affect experiences and practices
of learning. This text investigates complex questions, such as: How
should teachers be? and Who should decide how teachers should be? In
different ways, all the chapters in this book invite us into the work
of reinvigorating educational discourse. The contributors contradict
the idea that wisdom is the province of the lone genius who possesses
knowledge that is obscure to the majority. Instead, they ask us all to
participate in the necessarily collaborative endeavor of discourse
stewardship in – as grand as it may sound – the pursuit of wisdom.
