Synopsis for seminar:
Relationships have been identified as foundational in professional education including mathematics teacher education. Yet what is meant by relationship is often left to the practitioner to imagine and define. Exploring views of relational practice in the context of work with prospective teachers builds insight into the role of relationships for teaching about teaching. Definitions for relational teacher education and characteristics of this construct will be illustrated using examples from Dr. Kastberg’s practice and research. Relational teacher education is presented as lens for teacher educators seeking to improve practice.
