Teachers' Know-How: A Philosophical Investigation presents a
comprehensive and up to date philosophical treatment of the kinds of
knowledge and "know-how" that educators should possess.
- Offers an original and in-depth study of teachers' know-how which
situates teaching within the spectrum of professions
- Critiques the currently fashionable craft conception of teaching and
the view of teaching as protocol-driven which is currently influential
in policymaking circles
- Utilizes epistemological debates on the nature of know-how to inform
understanding of the work of teachers
- Features detailed examples including some drawn from the author's own
long professional experience of a teacher in a wide range of different
contexts
