Self Study of Teaching and Teacher Education Practices Studies Practice Online

This edited volume explores the emotional work of being an online teacher educator. The chapter authors discuss the intense work involved in planning, teaching, and navigating intuitional contexts in order to build a relationship between online teaching and the Self-Study of Teacher Educator Practice (S-STEP) methodology. Additionally, the authors of the chapters in the book used the S-STEP methodology to move their practices and their teacher-educator identities beyond emergency/crisis uses of online teaching common during campus building closures. Each chapter offers different ways that S-STEP methodology can be used to sustain oneself as an online teacher educator. Although there are specific strategies and practices, this is not a ‘how-to’ book for online teacher educating—it is an exploration of online teachers and groups of online teachers supporting themselves and each other by studying and learning from their practices.
