This book is grounded in the idea that words matter. It holds that
how we discuss teachers and teaching in the public space shapes the
way we come to regard teachers as a society; the beliefs we hold
about who they are, what they do, and why they do it. Over time it
also comes to shape the conditions and contexts in which teachers
do their work. This matters because schooling provides one of the
very few common experiences that most of us share. Teaching, in
particular, provides a convenient rallying point for discussions of
public policy, and beyond citizens’ own school experiences, the
print media makes the most significant contribution to broad social
understandings of schooling and teachers’ work. This book
provides a comprehensive and systematic exploration of print media
discourses around teachers and their work, using over 65,000
articles published in Australian print media from 1996 to 2020 as a
case study. It also takes a comparative look, drawing on print
media texts from other countries, namely the United States, United
Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada. It employs an innovative
combination of large-scale corpus-assisted analysis and close
qualitative analysis to identify and explore representations of
teachers in the print media, how they are constructed and how these
constructions have changed and shifted over the past twenty five
years.
