A revolution is happening in education, with leaders and teachers
now asked to focus on learning, to develop collaborative teams to
impact on students, to use and raise professional standards, and to
identify and esteem expertise in our profession. With new demands
relating to technological advances, changing demographics,
internationalism, and the inclusion of 'twenty-first-century
skills,' there is pressure on schools to deliver greater and deeper
success with more students. The Turning Point aims to present the
factors needed to affect real change for school systems, in
classrooms, and in the teaching profession by: Arguing for the
establishment of teaching as a true 'profession' alongside areas
such as medicine or law. Identifying the expertise fundamental to
the meeting demands of schools. Elaborating on evaluative thinking
and clinical practice as the basis of this new profession.
Outlining core levers of change to show how teachers can have
profound impacts on educational, medical, and social dimensions of
students. This book is essential reading for teachers, school
leaders, education policymakers, teacher candidates, and teacher
educators. Those working in affiliated professions, such as
adolescent psychologists and health workers, will also find aspects
of the book relevant to their work.
