Recent writing on education and social change, and a growing number
of new governmental initiatives across Western societies have
proceeded in denial or ignorance of the personal missions and
biographical trajectories of key public sector personnel. This book
stems from an underpinning belief that we have to understand the
personal biographical if we are to understand the fate of social
and political initiatives. In education a pattern has emerged in
many countries around the world. Each new government enshrines
targets and tests to ensure that teachers at the frontline delivery
are 'more accountable'. Whilst this often provides evidence of
symbolic action to the electorate or professional audiences, the
evidence at the level of service delivery is often far less
impressive. Targets, tests and tables may win wide support from the
public, but there are often negligible or even contradictory
effects at the point of delivery, enforced by the ignorance or
denial of personal missions and biographical mandates. This book
locates most of its analysis and discussion at the point of culture
clash between centralised dictates, and individual and collective
life missions. Whilst the early part of the book considers a range
of issues related to school curriculum, the focus on the
biographical and life narrative becomes increasingly important as
the analysis proceeds. Curriculum, Personal Narrative and the
Social Future will be of key interest to practising teachers,
educational researchers and students on teacher training courses,
postgraduate courses and doctoral courses.
