The Business of Teaching (eBook, PDF)

Becoming a Teacher in a Market of Schools

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the experiences of early career teachers in a profession that has become highly stratified by market processes. The author presents New South Wales, Australia as a case study: a state with a long history of academically selective and private sector schooling, which has become increasingly segregated under a series of neoliberalised policy reforms since the 1980s. The experiences of teachers in this book are rich and varied, from a variety of different contexts - ranging from public schools enrolling students experiencing significant educational disadvantage to elite independent schools serving much more advantaged student cohorts. Highlighting teachers' experiences in themselves rather than their impact on students, this timely book will be of interest and value to scholars of sociology of education, teachers' work and education policy.
