The Politics of Teacher Professional Development: Policy, Research and Practice

By Ian Hardy

Book Overview

This book explores teacher professional development as a situated, socio-political practice. Drawing on cross-national case studies, and on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, the study reveals the inherently political nature of professional development practices, showing them to be the product of tensions within and between competing policy, research and work pressures.
