This book takes as its focus the key interactionist concept of
'strategy', a concept fundamental to many current concerns in the
sociology of the school, including the understanding of the links
between society and the individual, a more accurate description of
certain areas of school life and implications for the practice of
teaching. 'Strategy' bears on all these issues. It concerns both
goals, and ways of achieving them and short-term, immediate aims as
well as long-term ones. The essays in this book share a common
concern with teacher strategies, emphasizing the discovery of
intentions and motives, alternative definitions of situations and
the hidden rules that guide our behaviour. Amongst the areas
investigated are the influence of factors outside the school in
determining the role of the teacher, and the nature and influence
of teacher commitment. The implications for practical action and
policy making are stressed throughout, and by recognising and
exploring the constraints and influences that operate on teachers,
this work constructs a realistic appraisal of the teaching
situation.
