This transformative, open access approach to teacher education focuses on the essential practice of embodied listening and its immense value to teachers.

In a world where teaching is moving from physical spaces to online ones and where finding meaning and purpose can be difficult, this book shows a new way for teachers to find personal growth alongside a better understanding of both themselves and their students. It argues that listening is one of the core skills for educators, and that cultivating it can bring a huge range of benefits. These range from developing their capacity for self-education and recognising their own inner questions to promoting ecological and cultural awareness by situating teaching in the broader context of human and environmental interconnection.

Presenting a comprehensive approach to teacher education, it hinges around a series of qualities that are fundamental to all regenerative education, framing listening as practical wisdom, language awareness, vocational navigation and world-connectedness. The book's thematic organisation starts by establishing listening as a foundational skill for self awareness and personal growth in both teachers and students. It then moves to look at embodied listening and practical wisdom, vocational awareness and the ways in which technology is shaping our understanding of dialogue and intersubjectivity.
