'Wow, this book has some inspiring ideas... It comes at a perfect
time as schools try to mesh school improvement with performance
management, new standards for various career stages and staff
development... Well written, with an attractive layout and a
consistently clear voice, it draws on wide and up-to-date research
and writing from all parts of the United Kingdom... There are no
easy answers in this book, but plenty of powerful ideas that might
help us ask useful questions about how CPD encourages a commitment
to professional and personal growth, and increases self-confidence,
job satisfaction and enthusiasm for working with children and
colleagues. This is what being a professional is all about' -
"Times Educational Supplement, Book of the Week
"
Teaching professionals need to be able to successfully respond
to change, and when necessary drive change within schools. To
accomplish this, teachers need to be secure in their understanding
of their place within the profession and their teaching identity.
The focus of this book is upon enabling teachers to explore new
ways of working with children, with colleagues and with
communities.
This book provides teachers working towards Advanced Skills
Teacher or Chartered Teacher status, and those on other Continuing
Professional Development courses, with an essential text to assist
in this process of personal and professional reflection and
development planning. The authors focus upon the social, cultural
and political aspects of professional development, and explore
issues of professional identity.
