Teachers Matter offers the most definitive portrait of teachers'
lives and work to date. At a time when teaching standards are high
on the political and social agenda, the quality and commitment of
teaching staff is seen as paramount and they are viewed as pivotal
to the economic and social well being of society. But: What are the
influences that help or hinder teachers' commitment?Is there an
association between commitment and pupil attainment?Why are
teachers' identities important?What are teachers' needs and
concerns in different professional life phases?Does school context
count? Based on a DfES funded study of 300 teachers in 100 primary
and secondary schools in England, the authors identify different
patterns of influence and effect between groups of teachers, which
provide powerful evidence of the complexities of teachers' work,
lives, identity and commitment, in relation to their sense of
agency, well-being, resilience and pupil attitudes and attainment.
This, in turn, provides a clear message for teachers, teachers'
associations, school leaders and policy makers, in understanding
and supporting the need to build and sustain school and classroom
effectiveness. The book addresses issues such as the importance of
career development, the relationships between school leadership,
culture and teachers' lives, maintaining a work-life balance,
identity and well-being and the connection between commitment,
resilience and effectiveness in the classroom. Original and highly
relevant, Teachers Matter is invaluable reading for teachers, head
teachers, researchers and teacher educators.
