Download or read book Industrial Relations in Schools written by Mike Ironside and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of industrial relations is intimately connected with the nature of schooling - in particular, the teacher trade unions have played and will continue to play a crucial role in shaping the school system - yet this subject has been virtually neglected in educational literature. Mike Ironside and Roger Seifert's book redresses this balance and unravels the complex issues surrounding the employment and management of teachers. Recent changes in education have had massive implications for the way in which our education system is organised. In the light of recent events, this book questions who controls or ought to control schools, focusing on the government, Department of Education, LEA's, head teachers, school governors, parents and teaching unions. The authors argue that in order for schools to continue to function, industrial relations must be given priority, including the development of a proper framework for negotiation and the resolution of conflicts.

Download or read book The Supply Story written by Sheila Galloway and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1994 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other book exists on supply teaching in English schools. This book is thus an agenda-setting volume which uses diverse contributions to provoke discussion of rarely articulated issues which are central to the day-to-day teaching and learning experiences of both teaching staff and pupils. Part 1 considers the individual motives and experience; Part 2 the working context and school concerns; and Part 3 analyses the role of the local education authority and supply teaching as a labour market phenomenon. Against a backcloth of rapid change, this edited volume reveals much about these professionals who work daily in schools, yet have had little attention paid in previous accounts of schooling. As women predominate in the supply teaching force, the volume spotlights women teachers' experience, but recognises the complex gender issues, and takes into account the experiences of men working as supply teachers.

Download or read book Teacher Supply and Teacher Quality written by Gerald Rupert Grace and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 1991 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sir Claus Moser said in his Presidential Address to the British Association (1990) that central to all school problems is the state of the teaching profession, he was expressing a widely held view. The decade of the 1980s in many English-speaking countries has done little to improve the morale and work conditions of teachers in publicly provided education. The gap between the public rhetoric which acknowledge the importance of teachers and the realities which teachers experience remains very great. With reference to England and Wales this timely and critically stimulating book examines the issues which have to be addressed in the 1990s. It provides an agenda for educational policies and practices which take seriously the importance of teachers as key agents for realizing equal educational opportunities for all.

Download or read book Education in England and Wales written by Franklin Parker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991, this title was begun just before passage of the Education Reform Act of 1988 (ERA 88), which was implemented in the 1990s. This major act along with still-in-force provisions of the 1944 Education Act (with its 17 amendments) comprises the statutes governing education in England and Wales. The study reflects both the criticism and the praise showered on that important legislation, particularly in the Brief History and School Structure sections, and in Chapter 1 with its longer than usual annotations on ERA 88.

Download or read book Secondary Teachers at Work written by Jim Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this book charts and analyses 2,688 working days of 384 teachers in 91 LEAs in 1991. It shows how they spent their working lives, how well matched their teaching was to their academic background, and the balance between teaching and other aspects of their work. The analysis uses five major categories: Teaching, Preparation, Administration, Professional Development and Other Activities. The authors argue that there is an occupational split between `the managers' and `the teachers'. The second part comments on the findings by relating them to issues of school management, and teacher professionalism, arguing that `conscientiousness' poses a professional dilemma for secondary teachers.

Download or read book Employment Disputes and the Third Party written by Pat Lowry and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial conflict has been well documented; dispute resolution much less so. In this book, Pat Lowry evaluates the work of conciliations and arbitrations. He critically examines the value of courts of inquiry and traces the development of pay review bodies and wages councils. He writes, too, of the little publicised work of the TUC in sorting out problems between member unions. Pat Lowry covers the events leading to the expulsion of the Electricians' Union from the TUC and he casts an expert's eye over such new developments as single union agreements and pendulum arbitration.
