Conclusions. 330 $aThis book focuses on the politics of teacher resistance to the formation and implementation of neoliberal education policies in Australia. It argues that policies such as publishing examination test results online amounts to auditing teachers? work, and assumes incompetence from teachers, which ultimately results in diverting teachers from their true professional responsibilities. The book outlines the rise of transnational networks that promote market-oriented methods of achieving social objectives, such as good education for all students, and considers a range of explanations for why this education policy was strengthened in Australia in 2010. It also reviews a range of arguments about professional unionism, and reflects on the history of the Australian Education Union and its capacity to resist social neoliberalism. The book concludes by reporting on a case-study in which principals, teachers and parents at two ordinary schools in Australia have managed to keep market forces atbay. It will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of education and sociology, particularly those interested in education policy, political ideology, unionism, and schools. Andrew Vandenberg is Senior Lecturer in Politics and Policy Studies at Deakin University, Australia, in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. He researches issues related to the politics of unionism, social movements, and democratisation in Sweden, Australia, and Indonesia, and is author of Democracy and Citizenship in a Global Era. 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEarly childhood education 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aEarly Childhood Education 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEarly childhood education. 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aEarly Childhood Education. 615 24$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 676 $a379.94 700 $aVandenberg$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059465 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299537103321 996 $aEducation Policy and the Australian Education Union$92505939 997 $aUNINA
