Description and Table of Contents
Description
Teachers from further and higher education are rarely considered together. This book explores the differences and similarities that exist between these groups. It provides an up-to-date account of developments and brings together arguments and debates about both groups of teachers to challenge some strongly held beliefs.
Focusing on aspects of teachers' professionalism, Jocelyn Robson considers what 'professionalism' may mean and ways in which 'professionalism' has been studied. She goes on to consider:
professional standards, training and qualifications
professional identities and communities
opportunities and strategies for professional development and renewal
key debates in the literature and the most significant policy developments
the main challenges currently facing the teaching profession in further and higher education.
