Building and sustaining quality in testing times

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Whilst much has been written over the years about teacher stress and burnout, there is very little research which reports on the resilient quality which is central for teachers¿ to sustain their commitment and effectiveness in contexts of challenge and change. This book focuses upon the teachers who stay in teaching and continue to strive for the best in their careers, regardless of shifts in policy, professional and personal circumstances.
