Title: Pacific voices
Description: "This book is an outcome of the fourth PRIDE Regional Workshop, held at the National University of Samoa in late 2005. Participants were teacher educators and senior policy makers in Departments/Ministries of Education involved in teacher education, from 15 Pacific countries. Resource people included international and Pacific educators who provided both the global and local/indigenous perspectives on good models of teacher education. These key people in teacher education engaged in reconceptualising pedagogy and learning in their own countries and in the region. Intensive reflection on global developments in education and examination of the implications for teacher educators, professional development and the pre- and in-service preparation of teachers in the Pacific, using a 'think tank' approach and reports to plenary sessions, kept 10 workgroups on their toes; chapters 4-13 are fruit of these exchanges. Other chapters are written by key resource people at the workshop: Allan Luke, Russell Bishop, Carmen Luke and Unaisi Nabobo-Baba"--Publisher's website.
