| Summary: | "Teacher development does not take place in a vacuum. The reality of schools is one of a political world - a world of power and influence, bargaining and negotiation, assertion and protection of interests. Politics in schools is not confined to the higher levels of policy-making - it is a dynamic operating in classrooms, in staff-rooms, with colleagues, parents and children. This book gives a unique insider's view of school micropolitics. With an impressive conceptual and empirical scope and drawing on literature from both sides of the Atlantic, the authors describe how the micropolitics of schools affect the working environment of teachers. Educational managers and teachers alike will find this study apposite and instructive."--Page 4 of cover. |
