Teachers Matter offers the most definitive portrait of teachers’ lives and work to date. At a time when teaching standards are high on the political and social agenda, the quality and commitment of teaching staff is seen as paramount and they are viewed as pivotal to the economic and social well being of society. But: What are the influences that help or hinder teachers’ commitment? Is there an association between commitment and pupil attainment? Why are teachers’ identities important? What are teachers’ needs and concerns in different professional life phases? Does school context count? Based on a DfES funded study of 300 teachers in 100 primary and secondary schools in England, the authors 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, in relation to their sense of agency, well-being, resilience and pupil attitudes and attainment. This, in turn, provides a clear message for teachers, teachers’ associations, school leaders and policy makers, in understanding and supporting the need to build and sustain school and classroom effectiveness. The book addresses issues such as the importance of career development, the relationships between school leadership, culture and teachers’ lives, maintaining a work-life balance, identity and well-being and the connection between commitment, resilience and effectiveness in the classroom. Original and highly relevant, Teachers Matter is invaluable reading for teachers, head teachers, researchers and teacher educators.

Who are our teachers? Should we care about who teaches our children? Because who they are, matters. It matters because who teachers are, manifests in how they teach. The authors’ analyses of prominent teachers in Anglo-Saxon philosophy of education and Muslim philosophy of education, coupled with their own narratives of what it means to be and become a teacher inform the central theme of this book, namely that teachers do matter. In addition, no attempt at good teaching and learning can manifest without having some idea of who teachers are and who they can become. In the main, becoming an authentic teacher can happen only in the presence of what it means for teachers to be or become transformative, dialectical and imaginative, deconstructive and friendly, expositors of equality and disruption, eloquent and conscientious and spiritual. It is such an understanding, which the authors advance and dare to cultivate in our institutions of primary, secondary and higher learning.

Teachers are critical to student success, but the profession of teaching is in crisis. When teachers feel a sense of purpose or meaningful significance, it leads to better student achievement, less burnout, and higher job satisfaction. Drawing from original research, this practical resource introduces eight essential elements of mattering that schools need to have for teachers to feel they matter. This book will help K–12 teachers: Learn how to integrate less pleasant aspects of the job with one’s values to achieve a goal Use the foundational elements of mattering survey and other tools to effect substantive school change Make smaller-scale changes to the work environment to meet individual needs Understand the purpose and importance of each element of mattering Learn about leaders’ obligations when it comes to mattering and what teachers should expect from them Explore the implications of all eight elements of mattering for teachers and leaders Contents: Introduction: A Blinding Flash of the Obvious—The What and Why of Mattering Chapter 1: Celebrating the Team, Not Just the Score—Community Chapter 2: Embracing What You See, and That’s a Whole Lot of Me—Authenticity Chapter 3: Getting Lost in the Moment, With a Good Crowd Around—Flow Chapter 4: Staying the Course, En Route to My Why—Purpose Chapter 5: Seeing the Downside as a Necessary Upside—Assimilation Chapter 6: Getting Real With How We Stack Up—Compensation Chapter 7: Taking Care to Take Care—Stability Chapter 8: Letting Things Be Loose–Tight—Job Crafting Chapter 9: Putting It All Together—Smarter Stuff That Matters Epilogue: A Fair Adieu References and Resources Index

"Global processes are transforming educational policy around the world in complex ways, with different implications for different local arenas. Over the last two decades, a global neoliberal policy paradigm has emerged, placing the teacher at its centre. Two well-known examples are the OECD report on education and training policy, Teachers Matter, and the McKinsey & Company report entitled How the Worlds Best-Performing School Systems Come Out on Top. It now seems more important than ever to highlight some alternatives that might contribute to a broader understanding of the meaning of being a teacher.In a time of standardised performance and accountability, this special issue raises critical questions about the space for teachers agency and teachers as curriculum agents. The different articles from some of our most distinguished researchers in the field provide essential perspectives on the question of where, when and how teachers matter. Our interest is not primarily to understand the scope of teachers agency but rather to understand what becomes important for teachers in their everyday activities, such as teaching students, handling educational norms and rules, working in a local as well as a global society etc. A common theme throughout the articles isthat teachers matter in spaces where they can act as moral subjects in their profession in the present, drawing on collective and individual experiences of the past whilst imagining a desired future.This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Curriculum Studies."--Provided by publisher.

Global processes are transforming educational policy around the world in complex ways, with different implications for different local arenas. Over the last two decades, a global neoliberal policy paradigm has emerged, placing the teacher at its centre. Two well-known examples are the OECD report on education and training policy, ‘Teachers Matter’, and the McKinsey & Company report entitled ‘How the World’s Best-Performing School Systems Come Out on Top’.

This co-authored book is based upon a four year study of variations in teachers' work and lives and their effects on pupils. It involved three hundred teachers of different age and experience, working in one hundred primary and secondary schools of different socio-economic status in England. The study is the first and largest of its kind. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from the teachers, heads and pupils (including test results at key stage 1, 2 and 3, English and Maths) over a three year period. These concerned the impact on teachers' lives and work related to their own histories and to that of colleagues of similar experience working in similar contexts. Different patterns of influence and effect were identified between groups of teachers which provide powerful evidence of the contextual complexities of teachers' work, lives, identities and commitment in relation to agency, well-being, resilience and the associations between these and pupil attitudes and attainment. These have clear messages for policy makers, school leaders, teachers' associations and teachers themselves in understanding, supporting and sustaining their capacities to build and sustain classroom effectiveness.This distillation of the work presents those findings of the study which will be of direct interest to policy makers, teachers' associations and had teachers not only in the UK but also internationally. The book highlights the importance of career and professional development, the positive and negative influences upon these, the relationship between school leadership, culture and teachers' lives and how these relate to effectiveness. The work is original and highly relevant, since its messages relate directly to teacher recruitment and retention and the work-life balance, well-being and effectiveness agendas.

Good teachers are the backbone of any education system. That’s why governments are constantly seeking teacher policies that will help them recruit and retain the best. Most countries are concerned with an ageing teaching workforce and attracting new recruits, coupled with the demands of more diverse student populations, higher expectations and new responsibilities. To be effective, teacher policy must address these issues. Teachers Matter provides a comprehensive, international analysis of: trends and developments in the teacher workforce in 25 countries around the world; research on attracting, developing and retaining effective teachers; innovative and successful policies and practices that countries have implemented; and teacher policy options for countries to consider. While documenting many areas of concern about teachers and teaching, the report also provides positive examples of where policies are making a difference. It spotlights countries where teachers’ social standing is high, and where there are more qualified applicants than vacant posts. Even in countries where shortages have been a concern, there are recent signs of increased interest in teaching, and policy initiatives appear to be taking effect.
