This book revolves around curriculum making, reciprocal learning, and the best-loved self. It draws on extensive school-based studies conducted with teachers in the United States, China, and Canada, and weaves in experiences from other cross-national projects, keynote addresses, archival research, and editorial work. The elucidation of the 'best-loved self' drives home the point that teachers are more than the subject matter they teach: they are students' role models and allies. Curriculum making and reciprocal learning relationships enrich teachers' and students' being and becoming as they live curriculum alongside one anotherwith the goal of more satisfying lives held firmly in view.

Draws on the work of Joseph Schwab who revolutionized the fields of curriculum and teaching in the 1970s Brings forward original scholarship born out of the Canada-China Reciprocal Learning project Engages carefully with the pitfalls of international education policy, attending to demands across country borders
