About the author

R. W. Connell is Professor of Sociology at Macquarie University and one of Australia's leading social theorists. This book is an outcome of a research project (described in the earlier book, Making the Difference undertaken with D. J. Ashenden, S. Kessler and G. W. Dowsett).

Summary

Teachers' Work is a highly readable and often amusing account of the reality of teachers' working lives that will give teachers themselves cause for reflection, give students a picture of the real world of teaching, and allow parents an insight into how things look from the other side of the school wall.
