Focusing on the historical development of the teaching profession, this book explores how the relationship between education and the formation of modern nation states has influenced both the status of the profession as a whole and the differential status accorded to different kinds of teachers within it. Addressing different national and international contexts with seven distinct case studies, the book provides a comparative analysis of the long-term trajectories that illuminate the nature of teaching as a public profession, and demonstrates the variety of forms that labour markets have taken in different contexts. Offering new and up-to-date international analysis at a critical time for the field of teacher research, when recruitment into the profession and retention are major challenges, the volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers and doctoral students engaged in teacher research and comparative and international education more broadly. Those involved with education policy and politics will also benefit from reading this volume.
This book, written by an impressive international array of scholars and activists, explores the mechanisms and ideologies behind neoliberal education, while evaluating and promoting resistance on a local, national and global level.

In Teaching the World's Teachers, education historians Lauren Lefty and James W. Fraser and their contributors make a convincing case for approaching these shared challenges from a more global and historically minded perspective. Written by education scholars from eleven different countries—Argentina, Brazil, Catalonia-Spain, China, England, Finland, Ghana, Israel, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States—this...

Ce livre analyse les changements apportés mondialement dans l’organisation scolaire et la profession enseignante, et la manière dont celle-ci a subi les contrecoups des politiques d’éducation promouvant l’évaluation et la reddition de comptes. Il décrit certaines transformations survenues dans les postes, les statuts et les profils professionnels, et caractérise, en les contextualisant, les conséquences des normes professionnelles qui structurent les pratiques d’enseignement et la gestion des établissements scolaires. Il comprend des données empiriques pertinentes sur la restructuration de la profession enseignante dans une ère de mondialisation, en offrant une vue d’ensemble et un regard critique sur les principales conclusions des recherches comparatives et des travaux menés dans divers pays. Ainsi, il ne s’adresse pas seulement aux chercheurs en éducation, mais également aux professionnels et aux décideurs du vaste milieu de l’enseignement et des politiques éducatives qui modèlent la profession enseignante au xxie siècle.
