Biography
Janet Alsup is Professor of Literacy and Language Education, and Head of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Purdue University, USA.
"Alsup treats new developments in the landscape of teacher education not just as new challenges, but as part of the historical terrain in which teachers now reside. The case studies of beginning teachers presented within the book illustrate how teacher agency and identity interact with complex, and sometimes contradicting, mandates. The revised edition makes an insightful contribution to on-going research on teacher identity in teacher education. Teacher educators and researchers will resonate with its depiction of how beginning teachers are often the innovators we’ve asked them to be."
