Books by Thomas S. Poetter

Brings to life the dance of questions that vie for attention in the mind of a teacher: How do I convince students that they want to learn to what I'm trying to teach? How do I make them understand that this is really actually important to them? And, perhaps most important, how do I get them to like me, and my discipline, in the process?

First Published in 1997. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

An attempt to show that preservice teacher knowledge is substantive and should be part of the wider database of knowledge about teaching and learning in the field of teacher education. This text urges the reader to consider the possibilities of teacher research for advancing knowledge.
