AERA

·      Teaching and teacher education is in a state of crisis and under attack.

·      Teachers as change agents within schools

·      Model of Generative Change - of teacher change: (These three lines run parallel. For example, Reflection is used as an awakening and creates metacognitive awareness; Introspection is used as agency to create an ideological becoming, etc.)

o   Awakening ==> agency ==> advocacy ==> efficacy

o   Metacognitive awareness, ideological becoming, internalization, generativity

o   Reflection ==> introspection ==> critique ==> voice

·      Generativity, innovation and hope for a better tomorrow
