Teachers College Pr

<p>This collection of interpretations of teacher development begins from a humanistic and critical starting point. It is humanistic in that its prime purpose is to understand teacher development, not to prescribe ways of managing it. It is critical in that it raises questions about the ways our educational systems hinder the development of teachers deskilling, deprofessionalizing and disempowering them. Chapters cover several ways in which it may be facilitated. It is aimed at teachers, trainee teachers and teacher trainers. The contributors are: Philip Jackson (University of Chicago), William R. Louden (Ministry of Education, Western Australia), Christopher Clark (University of Michigan), Antoinette Oberg (University of Victoria, Canada), Susan Underwood (University of Victoria, Canada), Dennis Thiessen (University of Toronto), Ivor Goodson (University of Western Ontario), Michael Huberman (University of Geneva, Switzerland), Michael Apple (University of Wisconsin, Madison), Susan Jungek (National College of Education), Heather-Jane Robertson (Canadian Teachers' Federation)</p>

'The rules of the world are changing. It is time for the rules of teaching and teachers' work to change with them' This is the challenge which Andy Hargreaves sets out in his book on teachers' work and culture in the postmodern world. Drawing on his current research with teachers at all levels, Hargreaves shows through their own vivid words what teaching is really like, how it is already changing, and why. He argues that the structures and cultures of teaching need to change even more if teachers are not to be trapped by guilt, pressed by time and overburdened by decisions imposed upon them. Provocative yet practical, this book is written for teachers and those who work with teachers, and for researchers who want to understand teaching better in the postmodern age.

[Library Edition Audiobook CD in vinyl case.] [Read by John Pruden] The future of learning depends absolutely on the future of teaching. In their latest and most important collaboration, renowned educators Andy Hargreaves and Michael Fullan speak out against policies that result in a teaching force that is inexperienced, inexpensive, and exhausted in short order. These two international authorities--who know teaching and leadership inside out--set out a groundbreaking new agenda to transform the future of teaching and public education.  Idea driven, evidence based, and strategically powerful, Professional Capital combats the tired arguments and stereotypes of teachers and teaching and shows us how to change them by demanding more of the profession and the systems that support it. The book includes action guidelines for classroom teachers, administrators, schools and districts, and state and federal leaders. No one connected with schools can afford to ignore this insightful book.
