Schools as Artifacts: Critical Autoethnography and Teacher Renewal

Benoit, Brian Andrew

McGill Journal of Education, v51 n3 p1121-1142 2016

This article examines how past memories can shape how we see the present and future in the context of teacher education and professional development. Using qualitative inquiry, drawing in particular on self-study and memory-work, I explore the ways in which critical autoethnography can serve as a tool for personal and professional growth in the context of teacher identity.
