Article

Eleven different takes on the future of teachers and teaching. Issues covered include: attracting teacher returners; supply teachers; creating a representative profession; and reinventing the teacher's role.

With recruitment of teachers remaining critical in some parts of the country and a retirement bulge impending, how can we find and keep sufficient teachers in the years ahead? The book reveals the figures behind the shortage headlines and suggests solutions.

A stimulating read for everyone interested in the future of the teaching profession.
