Dramatic, profound and far-reaching changes are being visited on
schools worldwide that have their genesis a long way from the
classroom but which impact heavily on teachers and their work. Most
of this reform has been achieved with little or no involvement of
teachers themselves. This book sets out to survey the contemporary
context of what is happening to the work of teaching, and focuses
on Advanced Skills Teachers. It shows how teachers are 'speaking'
the changes that are occuring to their work in protracted
economically rationalist times. Arguing against the discourses of
economy as the major shaping force, the authors present a
persuasive case for focusing on the discourses of teaching itself
as the only feasible and adequate basis on which to make sense of
teaching. And by presenting a range of voices of practising
teachers - allowing them to speak for themselves about the
difficulty of trying to translate policy-makers' intentions into
words and actions - the book graphically illustrates the
devastating long-term consequences for the future of schools of
poorly-conceptualised reform policies.
