Summary
This is a book about the images of teachers and teaching that infiltrate the everyday lives of children and adults, shaping in important, but unrecognized, ways their personal notions of who teachers are and what they do. It provides a unique and critical insight into the relationships between schooling, gender, teacher identity, and children's popular culture. By tracing the interaction between the social and the personal, the authors show how socially-constructed knowledge of teachers and teaching is formed not only in school, but also at home, in playgrounds, and in cinemas. Illustrated with colour reproductions and telling excerpts from interviews and journals, this book asks provocative questions and offers insightful perspectives to teachers and scholars in Teacher Education, Media and Communication Studies, Cultural Studies, and Women's Studies.
