This book explores the concept of the "e;best-loved self"e; in teaching and teacher education, asserting that the best-loved self is foundational to the development of teacher identity, growth in context, and learning in community. Drawing on the work of Joseph Schwab, who was the first to name the "e;best-loved self,"e; the editors and their contributors extend this knowledge further through the collaboration of their group of teacher educators, known as the Faculty Academy, who have been involved in examining teacher education for over two decades.  

This book revolves around curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self. Curriculum making and reciprocal learning relationships enrich teachers' and students' being and becoming as they live curriculum alongside one another-with the goal of more satisfying lives held firmly in view.

This book traces the origins and activities of the longest-standing collaborative teacher group in education, the Portfolio Group. Authors illuminate the expansive work, research, and the leading/learning influence that the Portfolio Group has had in the local education community as well as on the international education landscape.
