In Teachers Versus Technocrats, author Harry Wolcott draws on his
dual perspective as an educator and an anthropologist to provide a
unique and penetrating look at the dynamics of a federally funded
research and development project and to analyze what happened when
university researchers and school district administrators attempted
to introduce an experimental planning and evaluation system in an
operating school district. Based on three years of research in
which Wolcott uses a variety of anthropological field techniques,
this study into the school's SPECS (School Planning, Evaluation,
and Communication System) program reveals insight into the
project's impact on teachers and administrators and analyzes the
basic cultural patterns and relationships among educators.
Originally published in 1977, this new edition includes an updated
preface by the author and should be valuable to educators and
anthropologists alike.
