Sommario/riassunto

Based on a DfES funded study of 300 teachers in 100 primary and secondary schools in England, this book aims to identify different



patterns of influence and effect between groups of teachers, which provide powerful evidence of the complexities of teachers' work, lives, identity and commitment.
