Abstract
This chapter provides the context for the research, recognising the urgent need for educators to confront and alter traditional teaching practices. The research questions are shared: What skills must 21st century teachers have to promote high quality learning? And how do the views of teachers and researchers compare to those of a number of Big Thinkers? The authors describe their unique data set derived from a global online forum where the voices of educators are explored and celebrated. Conventions used in the monograph are also described.
