Personal Teaching: Puzzles, Images, and Stories for Professional Reform.
Mostert, Mark P.
Preventing School Failure, v36 n4 p16-19 Sum 1992
This article recommends that teachers' images of teaching, their metaphorical language, and their responses to teaching problems be examined to provide a tool for personal teaching reform. Excerpts from an interview with a preservice teacher illustrate his personal perceptions of teaching as "engagement" and of understanding and ability as a "series of levels." (JDD)
