This book examines therealities of educational change from the frontline perspective ofreform-minded teachers. It charts the perceptions and experiencesof twenty-nine teachers in grades 7 and 8 from four schooldistricts--showing how they grappled with such initiatives asintegrated curriculum, common learning standards, and alternativemodes of assessment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book moves beyond the bandwagons of rhetorical change andexamines how these changes work in practice for better and forworse. Authors Andy Hargreaves and Lorna Earl focus on how reformproposals have brought new complexities to teaching practice andwhy major investments of time and support are required if teachinginnovations are to become lasting and effective. Most importantly,they highlight the intense emotional demands that school changeimposes on teachers, and they outline practical strategies forhelping teachers through the difficult transition process--thusensuring that worthwhile reforms flourish and endure.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The New Educational Orthodoxy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE SUBSTANCE OF CHANGE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Standards and Outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Classroom Assessment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Curriculum Integration.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE PROCESS OF CHANGE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Intellectual Work of Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Emotional Work of Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Supporting and Sustaining Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Learning to Change.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Education [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Education\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Education%20%5BJN%5D%22\"\u003eJN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52410652066072,"sku":"9780787950279","price":26.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780787950279.jpg?v=1784246619","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/learning-to-change-teaching-beyond-subjects-and-standards-hardback-9780787950279","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
