To be published early 2010
Editor: Edward G. Pultorak, Ph.D.
Book Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield

Many teacher education programs have a teacher reflection component and/or model. Yet, the literature provides very little information regarding the impact of reflection on teacher performance, teacher retention, and student learning. The goal of this publication is to provide information regarding the purposes, practices and professionalism involved in the enhancement of effective reflection. Manuscripts are requested that offer information regarding reflectivity in (1) Theory and Research, (2) Teacher Education Programs, (3) Teacher Candidates, (4) Schools and Classrooms and (5) other important aspects of teaching, learning and teacher education. We are particularly interested in research-based articles related to this topic and will also consider research syntheses, theory to practice articles, common practices, etc. After an initial review by the editor, manuscripts that meet specifications will be blind reviewed.
Manuscripts that address topics similar (but not limited) to those listed below are encouraged.
Section I: Teacher Reflectivity in Theory and Research
Section II: Teacher Reflectivity in Teacher Education Programs
Section III: Teacher Reflectivity with Teacher Candidates
Section IV: Teacher Reflectivity in Schools and Classrooms
Section V: Teacher Reflectivity of other important aspects of teaching, learning and teacher education
