Recent worldwide education policy has reinvented teachers as agents of
change and professional developers of the school curriculum. Academic
literature has analyzed changes in how teacher professionalism is
conceived in policy and in practice but Teacher Agency provides a
fresh perspective on this issue, drawing upon an ecological theory of
agency. Using this model for understanding agency, Mark Priestley,
Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explore empirical findings from the
'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project, funded by the UK-based
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Drawing together this
research with the authors' international experiences and perspectives,
Teacher Agency addresses theoretical and practical issues of
international significance. The authors illustrate how teacher agency
should be understood not only in terms of individual capacity of
teachers, but also in respect of the cultures and structures of
schooling.
