RECONSTRUCTING THE TEACHER The challenges, rhetoric and reality of performance management in South Australian schools A resource for teachers and teacher-researchers The central focus of this book; resultant of a PhD investigative study on teachers' work; is to advance critical knowledge regarding issues pertaining to educational policy, current bureaucratic changes to teacher evaluation and teachers' stances in relation to these changes in evaluation. Specifically, the book examines issues relating to teacher evaluation within the Performance management policy (Department of Education and Childrens Services) currently being implemented in South Australian public schools. The intent here is to ask: what is the process of evaluation doing to teachers' work? To pursue this, the author examines the experiences of a group of South Australian teachers, and uses notions of performativity and fabrication from the literature to try and make sense of and explain the present system of teacher evaluation. Simply stated, performativity refers here to a technology, a culture and a mode of regulation that employs judgements, comparisons and displays as means of control, attrition and change', while fabrications are those perverse forms of response/resistance to and accommodation of performativity'. More specifically, the author asks: How does what occurs within present forms of teacher evaluation amount to forms of performativity and fabrication? What particular form do these performativities and fabrications take in teacher evaluation? Why are some teachers more susceptible to incorporation into these regimes than others, and hence more compliant? How does performativity and fabrication operate to shape the work of teaching and influence the nature of teaching? To what extent does the Department of Education and Childrens Service's performance management policy predispose teachers to engage in performativity and fabrication? Hence, the author argues that teachers are presently subject to new managerialist modes of control based on marketisation, corporatisation and globalisation and the book highlights first-hand accounts of how the actions of teachers amount to accommodating or resisting these strategies of control and power. Thus, in order to fully comprehend what was occurring, some analysis was necessary of the changing context of teachers' work because it is impossible to understand something as complex as the changes currently being visited upon schools without also understanding something of the wider forces making things the way they are'. The author adopts a critical policy paradigm and develops a dialectical theory-building approach based on the writings of Foucault, Lyotard, Butler and Ball. These approaches are used to analyse performance management approaches in public schools in the South Australian context in order to make wider sense of what is happening to teachers' work and its impact upon the nature and form of teacher evaluation. Methodologically, the author uses a critical ethnographic approach to narrate and interpret teachers' stories about the evaluation process. These stories, which he represents in vignettes, are illustrative of policy experiences, and show the various ways in which performance management as policy is received, enacted and/or resisted by teachers. In essence, the book also endeavours to contribute to the small but growing body of work that amplifies the voices of teachers. The use of vignettes is based on a view that having conversations is an important percussor to helping teachers reclaim their voices in the policy process. Much existing educational research has taken teachers' work for granted or ignored the voices of teachers entirely. The author maintains that teachers have been inadequately represented or systematically silenced in research concerning their evaluation experiences and how their ideas might shape future evaluation reform. In essence, this boo

One of the greatest resources a school has is its staff. How teachers themselves, and their work, are defined are therefore matters of utmost importance. Major trends of increased control and 'new mangerialism' are occurring in most OECD countries, radically altering both the content and form of teacher education. This book outlines recent changes in teacher education and professional development and, by drawing on recent research findings, explores the positive and negative impacts on the nature of teaching and the shape of the profession.

"Phillida Salmon offers an alternative vision to the consumerist images of education which have prevailed in political thinking. Using the approach of personal construct psychology, she shows how meaning is centrally important. This has profound implications for understanding how people learn and why they often fail to learn." "In tracing the logic of this approach in education, the author considers the position of teachers and the possibilities and constraints of their own learning. For pupils, school learning is often unofficial and unintended. In this, the culture of school institutions plays a major part. Differential pupil destinies are carried by 'special' categorization. The meaning of such labels is examined in this study."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Drawing on wide ranging research this book, originally published in 1997, explores how the policy changes of previous years were affecting primary teachers and their work at the time. Within the context of worldwide restructuring, the thoughts, feelings and activities of teachers in their daily work are examined. The core argument is that what used to be a complex but fulfilling job distinguished by professional dilemmas, which are amenable to professional skill, had become increasingly marked by tension and constraint, which frustrates teacher creativity. While some teachers found new opportunities in the 'new' primary school, many used strategical and micro-political activity in order to cope, while others fell victim to stress and burnout. The authors argue that teachers' own active involvement in policy change is required if their creative potential is to be realized. The book will still be of interest to teachers in primary schools, researchers and policy makers.

This book maps out a new paradigm of teacher education an, by implication, professional education generally. The book opens with two alternative theories of teacher education and training and explains the concepts and assumptions on which they rest including beliefs about the nature and role of education in society. It then proposes a 'natural science' paradigm and its implications for establishing a coherent view of teacher education. Subsequent chapters indicate the professional implications of such a model.
