Beschreibung
What does it mean to be a good teacher? seems to be an easy question to answer. Nevertheless, we tend to omit how complex the lifes of teachers can be. Pressures coming from the state, parents, children and public opinion make their jobs, most of the time, very stressful and emotionally demanding. This book analyses how official teacher's standards in the UK do not take into account these complexities and deploys an apparat of discursive production that reinforces its position and sells it as the only one possible, silencing other voices and approaches to the same isues. Under this circumstances, academic production on the matter becomes fundamental to understand the contradictions and the rethorical dispositives used by the official position in order to persueade the actors involved, but also, teacher's narratives provide, probably, the best tool to comprehend the burdens of their daily practice and the ways in which they manage their lifes.
