Teachers need a deep knowledge of how to teach their specific subject (Pedagogical Content Knowledge/PCK) (Krauss et al., 2008; Shulman, 1987), for effective practice in diverse, multicultural, inclusive learning environments (Williamson McDiarmid & Clevenger-Bright, 2008); pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is connected with students’ learning (Hill et al., 2005).
Teaching needs to be both effective (successful in producing learning) and good (morally and rationally sound) (Fenstermacher & Richardson, 2005).
