Teachers' Work is a highly readable, penetrating and often amusing
account of the reality of teachers working lives, as relevant to
the profession and its future as it was when first published in
1985. Based on the classic Australian study of the schools and
homes of the wealthy and powerful and of ordinary wage-earners
described in Making the Difference, Teachers' Work draws on
extended interviews with teachers in elite private schools and
mainstream government high schools and with the students and
parents who attend and patronise them. As well as providing an
absorbing account of the life and work of teachers through vivid
portraits of people, classrooms and staffrooms, Teachers' Work
illuminates the interaction between personal relationships in the
classroom and the social structures of gender and class. In
generating new ways of thinking about the character and origins of
inequality in education, this book gives teachers themselves cause
for reflection, offers student-teachers a picture of the real world
of teaching, and provides parents with an insight into daily life
behind the classroom door. At a time when the power of 'effective
teaching' is being widely recognised and national debate focuses on
the condition and prospcts of the teaching profession, Teachers'
Work is as insightful and rewarding as ever.
