The first part of this book charts and analyses 2,688 working days of 384 teachers in 91 LEA's in 1991. It shows how they spent their working lives, how well matched their teaching was to their academic background, and the balance between teaching and other aspects of their work. The analysis uses five major categories: Teaching, Preparation, Administration, Professional Development and Other Activities. The authors argue that there is an occupational split between `the managers' and `the teachers'. The second part comments on the findings by relating them to issues of school management, an

While the research on teacher education continues to proliferate, Practice Makes Practice remains the discipline's indispensable classic text. Drawing upon critical ethnography, this new edition of this best-selling book asks the question, what does learning to teach do and mean to newcomers and to those who surround them? Deborah P. Britzman writes poignantly of the struggle for significance and the contradictory realities of secondary teaching. She offers a theory of difficulty in learning and explores why the blaming of individuals is so prevalent in education.The completely revised introduction presents a refined and further developed theoretical framework and analysis, discussing why we might return to a study of teaching and learning. Also included in this updated edition is an insightful "hidden chapter" that comments on the methodology of the study and some of the dilemmas the author continues to face as her own thinking develops around the issues of representing teaching and learning for those just entering the profession.

"Identifying key areas of teacher education that cross countries and disciplines, this book provides the first extensive research-based insight into how secondary English teachers are prepared at institutions of higher education in the United States of America (US) since the last major study in 1995. In the two decades since then, English teacher education programs have developed in contextually dependent ways that often have been driven by institutional, economic, social and political considerations. In Part I, the authors provide an overview of their nationwide study of English teacher educators, which was conducted over a four-year period. They then analyze the context under which teacher educators currently prepare pre-service English teachers in the US. This enables teacher educators in other countries to make comparisons to their own unique historical and cultural settings. Part II offers an evaluation of the content, practices and skills being taught to future teachers of English in university-based teacher preparation programs in the US. It draws on evidence from case studies, course syllabi and focus group interviews to focuses on areas of instruction that resonate with teacher educators in countries where English is the dominant language of communication. These areas include: - standards and assessment; - teaching literacy to integrate reading and writing; - working with English language learners to address cultural and linguistic diversity; - new technologies in English education. This book will serve as a model for other secondary school disciplines worldwide to examine their own content, skills, and practices to ascertain the conditions under which teacher preparation occurs" --
