Societal expectations, pressures and teaching
Abstract
The aging of the teaching population, the increasingly complex and sometimes conflicting expectations placed on teachers and schools, the status of teachers, and the level of public criticism of education, are serious issues which need to be addressed. Recent high level inquiries, conferences and reports into teacher status in Australia are indicative of both the need and the message to focus on teachers' work today and what society can reasonably expect of them in the future.
