Abstract | If teachers and teacher educators share any hope of creating a vision for teaching that makes learning possible and meaningful for students and broadens the role of the teacher beyond that of a technician, they must express what they consider to be morally grounded representations of responsibility in teaching. It seems incumbent upon those engaged in teaching and teacher education to make responsibility in teaching more visible in the public arena. Though no simple solutions are offered in this paper as to how to accomplish this, a good start is to clarify conceptions of responsibility to educators and to the teacher candidates they teach. The author argues that responsibility in teaching is represented in particular ways by the responsiveness of teachers to individual students. Such a conception of responsibility is subtler than the characterization of responsibility that is associated with contemporary policy initiatives. The conception of responsible teaching described in this article is considerably more nuanced than the one embraced by many of those outside of the profession and even by some within it. The author contends that responsibility in teaching is more appropriately represented by the particular interactions between teachers and students than by the results of standardized test scores. This author proposes that teacher educators have many opportunities to focus teacher candidates on the type of responsibility that is closely associated with the moral dimensions of teaching.
