Abstract:

Changes in the social and political culture are reshaping attitudes towards career development, and personal development is gaining precedence over organisational development. This chapter examines whether self-development is in conflict with professional development, and an exploratory survey of new teachers indicates that schools constrain rather than facilitate their professional development.

The monograph from which this chapter is taken is indexed at TD/TNC 65.362. Individual chapters from this book are indexed from TD/TNC 65.363 to TD/TNC 65.370 and from TD/TNC 65.404 to TD/TNC 65.409.
