The Teacher Study: The impact of the Skills for Life strategy on teachers
A key plank of the Skills for Life strategy has been the drive to improve the quality of teaching and learning through the professionalisation of the workforce.
In this report, the first major study of the Skills for Life workforce, NRDC looks at the impact of the strategy on the professional lives of language, literacy and numeracy teachers.
By gathering data from an initial group of just over 1000 teachers three times between 2004 and 2007, the Teacher Study aimed to find out more about who teachers were, what they did at work, what they thought about their job and how these things changed over time.
Presenting rich data on employment contracts, career pathways, job satisfaction and changes in attitudes, this report makes a significant contribution to the evidence base on the Skills for Life workforce. |
