Description
This text surveys the latest developments in teacher training and practice, and reviews the effects of policy changes. It considers the professional and personal needs of teachers, from their morale to their remuneration. The contributors subscribe to a belief in the professionalism of teachers, and examine how this professionalism might be maintained in the current climate. They propose reforms in training and measures to bridge the gap between teaching as a craft and as a profession. Other areas covered are the management of schools, in-service training, and how this relates to the sub-roles of teachers and political intervention and policy-making. The text offers Europe-wide and North American perspectives.
