Teaching is emerging from a period when attempts were made to
confine and control it using industrial methods. It has become
evident that this has failed either to deliver improved educational
outcomes or to capture the essential nature of a teacher's work.
This book by an experienced practising teacher offers an
alternative interpretation of what it means to teach and proposes a
perspective on the profession that represents the actual work of
teachers in a fairer and more accurate way. Ian Stock's gripping
new book makes an unapologetically personal examination of the
problems that the approaches and policies of recent years have
created for the classroom teacher. It is not afraid to tackle big
issues, such as the burden of unnecessarily heavy management. It
also casts doubt on the application of `big data' and purely
theoretical approaches, saying that they cannot but fail to have
relevance to the intimate scale at which real education functions.
Instead, the book proposes a small-scale approach whereby the
individual practitioner is both empowered and responsible for the
development of their own best practice using a set of general
principles discussed herein.
