In this article, the authors review literature on humanistic teacher education. They described humanistic characteristics for today's teachers. Selected humanistic dispositions, or the action components that rise from humanistic beliefs, are particularly important for today's teachers and current trends in education. The authors group these dispositions and accompanying pedagogies into three categories: individual, relational, and contextual. They recommend that programs and graduate degrees for in-service teachers should emphasize the teaching and assessing of humanistic dispositions.
