The author introduces a process described as ?crystallizing conscientização?, which restores agency to teachers. Looking beyond incremental improvements in teacher micro-skills promoted by neo-managerial approaches to professional development, the book considers the wider impact of teachers? personal, professional and political identities on their work. This critical reflective practice combines crystallization as method with Freirean principles of conscientização, asking questions that reveal the impact of whiteness in schools and the role that education performs in replicating whiteness and perpetuating injustice. The book will appeal to academics in the diverse fields of sociology of education, critical race theory, critical whiteness studies, curriculum and pedagogy and teachers? work, as well as providers of initial teacher education programs and pre-service teachers. Craig Wood is a teacher, researcher, writer and unionist. He has worked in public schools for over two decades and is currently Researcher Officer at the Queensland Teachers' Union of Employees and an Adjunct Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Australia. 410 0$aPalgrave Critical Perspectives on Schooling, Teachers and Teaching,$x2662-2793 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aMaturation (Psychology) 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aEthnology 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aPersonal Development 606 $aSelf-Regulation 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aEthnography 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aMaturation (Psychology) 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aPersonal Development. 615 24$aSelf-Regulation. 615 24$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aEthnography. 676 $a370.711 700 $aWood$b Craig$01742755 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910865245103321 996 $aThe Crystallizing Teacher$94169442 997 $aUNINA
