Critical Acclaim
‘I remember my first lectures in entrepreneurship, the questions I had and the theoretical/pedagogical issues I needed to deal with. At that time there were only a few textbooks in the field, so I would have appreciated reading How to Become an Entrepreneurship Educator. As the author states in the preface, an important aim of this edited book is to "help other educators understand the journeys other colleagues have undertaken to become entrepreneurship educators". Reading 20 journeys of entrepreneurship educators from different countries and educational contexts is a great learning journey for the reader. This kind of reading gives inspiration, interesting ideas and raises self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience – four key components of our educational psychological capital.’
