Description
The Activist Teaching Profession by Judyth Sachs is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of teacher identity and work. Sachs argues for a transformative approach to teacher professionalism, one that acknowledges the tensions between accountability and autonomy, and seeks to empower teachers through democratic and radical change. This book presents a compelling vision for a reoriented teacher education programme, one that prioritises active participation, trust, and community. Through case studies from Australia and elsewhere, Sachs demonstrates the potential of alternative forms of teacher professionalism, which harness collaboration and cooperation with various stakeholders.
