G&E SIG Book Award Winner: Examining Teach for All
Join the G&E SIG in congratulating Matthew A.M. Thomas, Emilee Rauschenberger, and Katherine Crawford-Garrett, the authors of this year's winner of the Book Award: Examining Teach for All: International Perspectives on a Growing Global Network.
This book brings together research focused on Teach For All and its affiliate programmes to explore the organization’s impact on education around the world. Teach For All is an expanding global network of programmes in more than 50 countries that aim to radically transform education systems by recruiting talented graduates to teach for two years in under-resourced schools and developing them into lifelong advocates of reform. The volume offers nuanced insights into the interests and contexts shaping Teach For All and the challenges and possibilities inherent in broader efforts to enact education reform on a global scale.
This book will be of great interest for scholars, educators, post-graduate students, and policymakers in the fields of comparative education, teacher education, education leadership, and education policy. It paves the way for future critical inquiry into this expanding global network as well as further investigations of educational change around the world.
From our reviewers: The volume offers insightful and original contributions and emerges as theoretically rich research and a strong contribution to deep the reflection on some of the most important discussions about education and globalization. Furthermore, it allowed critical questions to be raised for future research. Largely informed by evidence, this is high quality research and a significant contribution for the field of comparative education.
