Series: Critical Perspectives on Teaching and Teachers’ Work

The Handbook on Teachers’ Work brings together research and evidence-based authoritative writings from across the globe that explicitly theorizes and studies teachers’ work.

Drawing on research from twelve countries across 6 continents, the chapters are grouped into themes that represent key issues related to work from global perspectives, including:

The Political and Policy Contexts of Teachers' Work Teaching as an Occupation Diverse Teacher Identities and Roles Teaching as Collective and Relational Work; and Teaching and Activism

The volume explores the idea of teaching as an occupation with a history and trajectory that are shaped by political economies; historical progressions; organizational structures; social relations among educators, students, and others; teachers’ career and labor patterns; their professional norms; and raced, gendered, classed, and culturally linked expectations of teachers and about public schooling.

This essential handbook will be of interest to teacher educators, policymakers, and students and researchers in the fields of teachers’ work, curriculum theory, educational policy and politics, foundations of education, multicultural education and teacher education.
