This book focuses on contemporary, local working conditions for teachers and school leaders globally, using diverse ways to theorise critical issues of workload, wellbeing, burnout and retention within the teaching profession, thereby provoking alternative responses to the challenges faced.
Sketching a broad picture of the ways in which teacher wellbeing, workload intensification, and staff retention are interconnected, the book calls for a better understanding of how these multifaceted issues overlap regarding their consequences for the education workforce. Chapters bring together researchers from diverse contexts such as Australia, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Vietnam, and Norway, resulting in a diversity of approaches grounded in different socio-cultural traditions which encourage a wider range of theory, empirical areas of focus, and suggestions for meaningful change. Chapters theorise issues of teachers’ work based on empirical studies and develop new conceptual approaches towards these issues, providing novel insights into issues felt across the board, regardless of career phase or role.
The book will be highly valuable for scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of educational leadership, management and administration. Policy makers interested in transformative ways to respond to ubiquitous concerns about the education workforce around the globe will also find the volume of use.
