This book revolves around curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self. It draws on extensive school-based studies conducted with teachers in the United States, China, and Canada, and weaves in experiences from other cross-national projects, keynote addresses, archival research, and editorial work. The elucidation of the âbest-loved selfâ drives home the point that teachers are more than the subject matter they teach: they are studentsâ role models and allies. Curriculum making and reciprocal learning relationships enrich teachersâ and studentsâ being and becoming as they live curriculum alongside one anotherâwith the goal of more satisfying lives held firmly in view.
