Teacher development does not take place in a vacuum. The reality of schools is one of a political world–a world of power and influence, bargaining and negotiation, assertion and protection of interests. Politics in schools is not confined to the higher levels of policy-making–it is a dynamic operating in classrooms, in staff-rooms, with colleagues, parents and children. This book gives a unique insider’s view of school micropolitics.
Selected chapters: Negative Effects of Authoritarian and Adversarial Approaches to Leadership • The Everyday Political Perspectives of Teachers Towards Students and Parents • Political Interactions Among Teachers • Teachers’ Perceptions of Facilitative Leadership • Ideological Control and Open Principals
"A thoughtful, provocative study that analyzes power and political relationships in schools and districts."
