This book explores how educators are proactively working to reclaim teacher professionalism by engaging in exemplary practice and promoting quality education for all. It examines voices in contemporary Australian teacher education and how professionalism can contribute to achieving the multiplicity of purposes in education. The work of contemporary teachers and teacher educators, and perceptions about this work, have changed significantly. In recent times, governments have identified key issues linked to the quality of teachers, as presented in multiple inquiries, creating shifts in public policy and increasing regulation. Educators must work towards improving public and policy maker perceptions of teaching as a profession. Teacher educators make an important contribution in engaging in ongoing scholarship and debate that examine research and practice and speak back to managerial discourses on professionalism. It is through this work that educators shape and re-shape understanding of what it means to be a professional.

Significant changes in the policy and social context of teaching over the last 30 years have had substantial implications for teacher professionalism. As the influence of central regulation and marketisation has increased, so the scope for professional influence on policy and practice has in many cases diminished. Instead, teachers have had to respond to a range of other demands stemming from broader social changes, including greater public scepticism towards professional authority combined with demands for public services that are more responsive to diverse cultural and social identities. This collection of work by leading international scholars in the field makes a unique contribution to understanding both how these changes are impacting on teaching and how teachers might change their practice for the better. The central premise of the book is that if research is going to be helpful in improving professional learning and the quality of teachers’ practice, the full potential of three broad approaches to research on teacher professionalism needs to be brought to bear on these issues: research on the changing political and social context of professional work and practice research on the working lives and lived experiences of teachers, and research on how teachers’ professional practices might be enhanced. In bringing together and drawing out the complementarities of these three approaches, this book represents a ground-breaking collection of work.

This study examines the professionalism and identity of primary school teachers in the Republic of Ireland as presented in policies from the Department of Education and Skills (DES) and the Teaching Council of Ireland. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was used to analyse policy texts. Taylor's (1997) framework was used to structure the study and allowed a critical examination of the policy context, the policy text and the policy consequences. Gee's (2014) tools for performing a CDA were used for an in-depth analysis of the texts. The research problem was identified as the changing understanding of teacher professionalism internationally, in particular the influence of economic rationality and marketisation on education and the role of the teacher. The following research questions emerged, (1) What types of teacher professionalism are implied by policy makers in Ireland (2) What identities are primary school teachers in Ireland described as having by policy makers? (3) What tasks are primary school teachers in Ireland expected to carry out by policy makers? The study is a CDA of two policy texts and a content analysis of a small sample of Whole School Evaluation reports. The researcher concludes that there is a dilemma in the policy texts between an occupational and organisational (Evetts, 2008) understanding of teacher professionalism. Four types of teacher professionalism are identified through the CDA. Teacher as managed professional, teacher as conforming professional, teacher as instrument of change and teacher as (potentially) agentic profession. The study presents a dynamic between teacher professionalism, teacher professional identity and teachers' tasks where one begets the other and the three are inter-connected. The study concludes by comparing and contrasting teacher professionalism and identity as presented in Looking our Schools (DES, 2016a), Cosán (Teaching Council, 2016b) and a sample of WSE reports.

How have cultural policies created new occupations and shaped professions? This book explores an often unacknowledged dimension of cultural policy analysis: the professional identity of cultural agents. It analyses the relationship between cultural policy, identity and professionalism and draws from a variety of cultural policies around the world to provide insights on the identity construction processes that are at play in cultural institutions. This book reappraises the important question of professional identities in cultural policy studies, museum studies and heritage studies. The authors address the relationship between cultural policy, work and identity by focusing on three levels of analysis. The first considers the state, the creativity of the power relationship established in cultural policies and the power which structures the symbolic order of cultural work. The second presents community in the cultural policy process, society and collective action, whether it is through the creation of institutions for arts and heritage profession or through resistance to state cultural policies. The third examines the experience of cultural policy by the professional. It illustrates how cultural policy is both a set of contingencies that shape possibilities for professionals, as much as it is a basis for identification and identity construction. The eleven authors in this unique book draw on their experience as artists and researchers from a range of countries, including France, Canada, United Kingdom, United States, and Sweden.

Who wants to change school science education and why? What mechanisms exist to effect change? What implications do they have for teachers' professionalism? These are the principal questions explored in this book. The authors focus on strategies for effecting change, including decentralized and statutory mechanisms, and the use of systems of assessment. The authors question the effectiveness of centralized programmes in improving the quality of students' science education. They suggest that this arises from a failure to acknowledge the contribution that the science teaching profession must make to reform. They argue that sustained and effective change, embodying improvements in standards, depends upon promoting the initiativ
