The great New Zealand education experiment and the issue of teachers as professionals

This chapter focuses on the current crisis in teaching in New Zealand and examines the issue of teachers’ professionalism from three perspectives: the socio-historical development of teaching and teacher professionalism; recent educational reform in New Zealand and its effect upon conditions of service and morale within teaching; and the views of contemporary teachers about teaching as a profession. Sullivan argues in favour of teachers claiming their own professional status and playing an important role in the development and implementation of effective educational policy.
