Their stories are captured narratively through a critical ethnographic lens in fictional professional learning team (PLT) meetings, woven together and retold as collegial conversations centred around topics and themes in a school leadership text. These meetings focus on the themes of trust, truthfulness, workload, time and change. Their stories reveal themes of bullying, misogyny, sexism, power disparities, lies and deceit, lack of support, and inconsistent and questionable leadership decisions. Professionalism, ethical practice, and the nature of schools are questioned, along with perceptions and the need for change. The insights shared in the book will be of interest to academics researching teacher attrition and experiences, and those involved in teacher preparation. Elizabeth Allotta is an educator passionate about the experiences of teachers and doctoral students working and studying in Australian contexts. She is a practising teacher in a secondary high school and a sessional university lecturer and tutor. She has edited two volumes in the series The Doctoral Journey in Education. 410 0$aEducation Series 606 $aTeachers$xTraining of 606 $aEthnology 606 $aEmployee health promotion 606 $aCareer education 606 $aMaturation (Psychology) 606 $aTeaching and Teacher Education 606 $aEthnography 606 $aEmployee Health and Wellbeing 606 $aCareer Skills 606 $aPersonal Development 615 0$aTeachers$xTraining of. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aEmployee health promotion. 615 0$aCareer education. 615 0$aMaturation (Psychology) 615 14$aTeaching and Teacher Education. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aEmployee Health and Wellbeing. 615 24$aCareer Skills. 615 24$aPersonal Development. 676 $a371.14 700 $aAllotta$b Elizabeth$01851455 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911031637203321 996 $aContinuing to Teach$94445261 997 $aUNINA
