The Making of an Educator

Charting the first 15 years of his career in education as a teacher, researcher, academic and growing collaborator with schools, Andy Hargreaves casts light on what he calls a Great Education Shift. This was a period during the early 1980s which was marked by the rise of neoliberalism and which brought an end to an era defined by public investment, pursuit of equality, commitment to educating the whole child and support for a strong and highly qualified teaching profession. Andy''s reflections on the present and the past offer powerful and often provocative insights into some of the most pressing issues in education today, including teacher autonomy, evidence-based practice, early career struggles, intellectual bias and the impact of mentors.In this captivating and inspiring book, you will learn quite a bit about Andy and the experiences that shaped him. But you will learn far more about yourself, your work and your world as you seek to create a better future for all our young people and those who serve them
