Blaming Teachers: Professionalization Policies and the Failure of Reform in American History

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Blaming Teachers, Diana D'Amico Pawlewicz reveals that historical professionalization reforms subverted public school teachers’ professional legitimacy. Policymakers and school leaders understood teacher professionalization initiatives as efficient ways to bolster the bureaucratic order of the schools rather than as means to amplify teachers’ authority and credibility.
