Mitchell argues for reconceptualizing educational practices and institutional structures in ways that facilitate and protect educator professional responsibility. This book explores ways educators and their political supporters can seize the social and political power necessary to accept professional responsibility for the design of their work environment. Chapters explore how unionization ethics public values political power school reform and trust play an important role in the essence of professional responsibility in schools arguing that we must use organization management and accountability mechanisms to encourage responsible civic participation and professional action in support of public education. This new text for graduate studies in teacher and leadership training frames a much needed analysis of where and how professional responsibility for public education is best incorporated into the work roles of teachers administrators and university scholars. |Professional Responsibility for Education Reconceptualizing Educational Practice and Institutional Structure | Education
