Analytic Teaching

Areas of interest to readers and contributors include Philosophy for Children teachers and teacher trainers but also included those interests in the role of narrative in teaching and learning, liberation pedagogy, Vygotskian psychology, and cognitive science, among other areas. The broad agenda might be defined as reflective teaching and community inquiry. These two areas will continue to be the mainstay of contributions to Analytic Teaching."
