Teachers commonly talk about loving their students, yet no effort has been made to explore the powerful educational potential inherent in these loving feelings. Teaching with Love breaks new ground by paying careful, scholarly attention to the nature, the scope, the dimensions, and the variety of teacherly love. In a highly readable narrative that builds on the feminist notion of an ethic of care and draws from the fields of psychology and women's studies, this book examines and analyzes the experiences of two primary grade teachers as they set about trying to create and enact a vision of early childhood education centered around loving relationships.
Defining caring as a moral and intellectual relation, Reclaiming Caring in Teaching and Teacher Education positions caring as a crucial factor in the teaching-learning process and as a powerful professional stance for teachers. After presenting the findings of a study exploring preservice elementary teachers’ initial beliefs and understandings of caring and examining the ways those preconceptions were challenged during the students’ field placement period, Lisa S. Goldstein develops a model of teacher education that identifies commitment, community, and passion as the cornerstones of caring teaching. Rooted in the moral and intellectual relation view of caring, this model prepares teachers to build a strong foundation for their professional practices and to take advantage of the pedagogical power of caring in their work with children.
