Rolling the Stone Uphill: Teacher Development and the Implementation of Thinking Skills Programmes.
Leat, David
Oxford Review of Education, v25 n3 p387-403 Sep 1999
Explores why Thinking Skills/Cognitive Acceleration programs have struggled to make an impact, noting that classrooms are resistant to the kind of change these programs demand. Considers five constructs of teacher development (socialization, craft knowledge and expert-novice, "pedagogical" content knowledge, images of teaching, and teaching and the emotions). (CMK)
