This book is about the damage that has been systematically inflicted upon teachers' work globally over the past two or more decades. It chronicles and traces the major policy maneuvers in what can only be described as difficult times. The effects are not hard to see in the language of the new technologies of power: competencies, vocationalization of the curriculum, appraisal, testing, accountability, restructuring, enterprise culture, and self-management, as well as through the cooption of progressive categories like collegiality, teacher development, and other reflective approaches to teaching. While these discourses mark out the oppressive contours of teaching there still exists considerable space to imagine and live out alternative discourses and practices. The way out of the miasma, it is argued, is to robustly confront and vigorously supplant dominant managerialist discourses with agenda and practices that are more democratic, educative, and socially just.

Based on the well known Bible character, Daniel, this book is perfect for children who can't turn the pages fast enough, enticing for early readers and ideal for grown-ups who love to fill in the gaps. See the words at work as the story is told in full at the end of the book. The pages are bright and colourful and will keep any child entertained as well as encourage them to learn, not only the inspirational story of Daniel, but also, to read. Understanding how civilization s best minds have answered those questions, Lenoir suggests, not only makes for a fascinating reading experience, but also provides a way for us to see us how happiness, that most elusive of feelings, is attainable in our own lives." " I am completely an elitist, in the cultural but emphatically not the social sense. I prefer the good to the bad, the articulate to the mumbling, the aesthetically developed to the merely primitive, and full to partial consciousness. I love the spectacle of skill, whether it s an expert gardener at work, or a good carpenter chopping dovetails . Critical Politics of Teachers' Work : An Australian Perspective download ebook . . I don t think stupid or ill-read people are as good to be with as wise and fully literate ones.I would rather watch a great tennis player than a mediocre one . . . Consequently, most of the human race doesn t matter much to me, outside the normal and necessary frame of courtesy and the obligation to respect human rights.I see no reason to squirm around apologizing for this. I am, after all, a cultural critic, and my main job is to distinguish the good from the second-rate. "
