Wiley, Jan 9, 2006 - Philosophy - 256 pages
This book brings various philosophical, social, religious and political perspectives to bear upon the work that teachers do, and to the often contradictory experiences they have in such work.

  • Introduces teachers to philosophical ways of understanding their work.
  • Intervenes in academic debates pertaining to the idea of the teacher.
  • Arguments are grounded in the everyday experiences that teachers have.
  • The material is carefully and deliberately organised around these experiences.
