Professional Capital: Transforming Teaching in Every School
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Two longtime education researchers argue that the future of schooling depends on building what they call professional capital: the combined skill, judgement and commitment of teachers working together. They challenge familiar stereotypes that cast teachers either as heroes or as problems, and they draw on evidence from schools and school systems to show what makes reform succeed. The book sets out practical guidance for classroom teachers, principals, districts, and officials at state and national level, showing how each group can help make teaching a respected and effective profession in every school.
