It argues that they are being presented with an impossible task: they are expected to educate youth as the future of society within organizational structures that are outdated and frustrating. Despite the best intentions of policymakers, teachers are voting with their feet and continue to leave the profession. This book sheds light on their motives for doing so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is based on surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions with teachers and other education professionals. It is a clarion call for teachers to galvanize their energies and remodel the teaching profession on their own terms. This must include greater professional autonomy and a new respect for the role of vocation within teaching. Only then can education begin once again to value its human face over its organizational one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be essential reading for all students of education and teachers interested in their professional survival. It will also interest researchers and policymakers, especially those engaged in futures research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49614419853585,"sku":"GOR009242900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50459686699281,"sku":"GOR003634960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53080089919761,"sku":"GOR012434162","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1858563631.jpg?v=1751281268"},{"product_id":"curriculum-reform-in-the-european-schools-book-sandra-leaton-gray-9783319714639","title":"Curriculum Reform in the European Schools","description":"This open access book examines the modern role of the European School system within the European Union, at a time when the global economy demands a new vision for contemporary education. The European schools are currently in a state of crisis: their 60-year-old tradition of bilingual and multilingual education is being strained by rapid EU expansion and the removal of English speaking teachers as a result of Brexit. Their tried and tested model of mathematics and science education has rapidly been overtaken by new developments in pedagogy and assessment research, while recruitment and retention of students and teachers has become increasingly fraught as European member states review what they are, and what they are not, prepared to fund. The authors draw on original and empirical research to assess the European Schools' place in a new Europe where the entire post-war European Project is potentially at risk. This well-researched volume will be of interest to practitioners working in European schools as well as students and scholars of EU politics and international education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51063241146641,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063244456209,"sku":"NIN9783319714639","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52532455014673,"sku":"NLS9783319714639","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3319714635.jpg?v=1751415414"},{"product_id":"women-curriculum-theorists-book-sandra-leaton-gray-9781032268088","title":"Women Curriculum Theorists","description":"Most published bodies of work relating to curriculum theory focus exclusively, or almost exclusively, on the contributions of men. This is not representative of influences on educational practices as a whole, and it is certainly not representative of educational theory generally, as women have played a significant role in framing the theory and practice of education in the past. Their contribution is at least equal to that of men, even though it may not immediately appear as visible on library shelves or lecture lists. This book addresses this egregious deficit by asking readers to engage in an intellectual conversation about the nature of women’s curriculum theory, as well as its impact on society and thought in general. It does this by examining the work of twelve women curriculum theorists: Maxine Greene, Susan Haack, Julia Kristeva, Martha Nussbaum, Nel Noddings, Jane Roland Martin, Marie Battiste, Dorothea Beale, Susan Isaacs, Maria Montessori, Mary Warnock and Lucy Diggs Slowe.  The book is not an encyclopaedia, nor is it a history book. It aims to bring to the reader’s attention, through a semantic rendition of the world, those seminal relationships that exist between the three meta-concepts that are addressed in the work, feminism, learning and curriculum. It will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in curriculum, and the philosophy and sociology of education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51284955922705,"sku":"NIN9781032268088","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52591977267473,"sku":"NLS9781032268088","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032268085.jpg?v=1750854203"},{"product_id":"women-curriculum-theorists-book-sandra-leaton-gray-9781032258973","title":"Women Curriculum Theorists","description":"Most published bodies of work relating to curriculum theory focus exclusively, or almost exclusively, on the contributions of men.
