Ask a politician about teachers and they will tell you about schools – ask a teacher about themselves and they will tell you about their pupils. Teacher professionalism is inextricably linked to doing what is best for children; it is both the motivation and the desired outcome.
This report, while keeping all of this in mind, is unashamedly about teachers and the teaching profession. It asks what kind of teacher professionalism we need in order to do our best for children and seeks to shed light on the stress and sense of diminished professionalism that teachers across our education system report. In
doing so, it aims to empower both teachers and others within the education system to better understand and influence some of the forces that shape their professional lives.
Catherine Fieschi, the report's author and Demos Director, will be joined by Gary McCulloch of the Institute of Education, Sarah Stephens of the GTC and June Stevenson, Head of RE at The Archbishop Lanfranc School, to discuss the changing role of teachers in the context of professionalism and what is, and is not, ‘down to the teachers’.
