Summary:

"The Handbook of Teachers' Work brings together research and evidence-based authoritative writings from across the globe that explicitly theorize and study teachers' work. Drawing on research from 12 countries across six continents, the 36 chapters are grouped into themes that represent key issues related to work from global perspectives, including: The Political and Policy Contexts of Teachers' Work; Teaching as an Occupation; Diverse Teacher Identities and Roles; Teaching as Collective and Relational Work; and Teaching and Activism. The volume explores the idea of teaching as an occupation with a history and trajectory that are shaped by political economies; historical progressions; organizational structures; social relations among educators, students and others; teachers' career and labor patterns; their professional norms; and raced, gendered, classed and culturally linked expectations of teachers and about public schooling. This essential handbook will be of interest to teacher educators, policymakers, and students and researchers in the fields of Teachers' Work, Curriculum Theory, Educational Policy and Politics, Foundations of Education, Multicultural Education, and Teacher Education"-- Provided by publisher.
