Research Interests
My goal as a scholar is to advance and develop knowledge related to teachers’ professional commitment, conceptions of teacher professionalism and the composition of the teacher workforce. I am interested in schools as workplaces for teachers and the reciprocal relationship between educational policy and teachers’ orientations to their work. My work seeks to unpack notions of teachers’ work held by individuals, professional communities, organizations, and policy makers. I am interested in the consequences of the interactions of those competing conceptions for creating and maintaining a professional workforce.Biography, Education and Training
