Changing Teachers, Changing Times (Teacher Development) Book
The rules of the world are changing. It is time for the rules of teaching and teachers' work to change with them. This is the challenge which Andy Hargreaves sets out in his book on teachers' work and culture in the postmodern world. Drawing on his current research with teachers at all levels, Hargreaves shows through their own vivid words what teaching is really like, how it is already changing, and why. He argues that the structures and cultures of teaching need to change even more if teachers are not to be trapped by guilt, pressed by time and overburdened by decisions imposed upon them. Provocative yet practical, this book is written for teachers and those who work with teachers, and for researchers who want to understand teaching better in the postmodern age. "All who are interested in teachers and teaching can ill afford to ignore this book". Professor Philip W. Jackson, University of Chicago "Hargreaves' description of the collapse of certainty, the crisis of moral purpose and the concomitant struggle to gain clarity in the classroom is brilliant!" Professor Ann Lieberman, Columbia University "A tour de force of linking the macroworld of society with the microworld of everyday teaching. Nobody identifies the deep dilemmas of teaching in the postmodern age better than Andy Hargreaves . . . A must-read for those who want to understand and do something about the future of teaching". Michael Fullan, University of Toronto "There are few contemporary educational thinkers to equal Hargreaves' ability to write in a clear and readable style about complex matters which defy simplistic solutions". Professor John Elliot, University of East Anglia "Andy Hargreaves is one of the most original thinkers and gifted researchers of this generation of educators . . . His analysis of society in uneasy transition is convincing, and his deeply felt care and critical respect for teachers and their work undeniable". Brian J. CaldweRead More
