What happens behind the closed doors of the teachers' lounge? Does
the lounge provide more than a place to rest and maybe drink a cup
of coffee between classes?
Behind Closed Doors examines the teachers' lounge as a site for
the development of communal knowledge. While the book discusses an
extensive qualitative study of teacher interactions in 26 teachers'
lounges in Israeli schools, it reveals that the culture of teachers
transcends national boundaries and is quite recognizable. Teachers
in the lounge are regarded in this book as 'learners' whether they
are actually involved in formal professional development
activities, or in informal exchanges with their colleagues.
Teachers learn about students and modes of instruction, but also
about norms of collegiality that govern life in the lounge, and
about supporting each other and coping with the manifold stresses
of teaching. This book makes a significant contribution to the
literature on teacher learning and socialization.
