Description
Teacher Agency An Ecological Approach by Mark Priestley, Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explores how teacher professionalism is conceived in policy and practice. Drawing on an ecological theory of agency, the authors examine empirical findings from the 'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). This book addresses theoretical and practical issues of international significance, highlighting the importance of understanding teacher agency within both individual capacity and the cultures and structures of schooling.
