Educational Roles
Abstract
In Chapter Two we argued that it is critically important for policy makers and planners, and indeed for teachers themselves, to understand the complicated relationships which teachers have in both the wider society and in the communities in which they work. This understanding is a prerequisite for establishing realistic assessments of teachers’ capabilities to carry out their roles in the school and community. In this chapter we investigate contemporary policies, research and ideas about the roles of schoolteachers in their strictly educational tasks. In Chapter Four we examine their roles in community development.
