"Over the past twenty years, the International Study Association on Teachers and Teaching (ISATT) has become world-renowned as an organisation dedicated to the discussion of current thinking in educational policy and practice. As such, the ideas aired at ISATT conferences are of the greatest significance to today's educational practitioners." "Teacher Thinking and Professional Action aims to satisfy the demand for a lasting record of ISATT's illuminating discussions on the theme. It is based on a selection of papers presented at their third biennial conference and has been updated by each contributor to include their current thoughts and opinions."--BOOK JACKET.
