What to read after Primary Teachers Talking?

"Primary Teachers Talking" makes extensive use of verbatim evidence supplied by teachers in England and Wales during interviews in their first decade of work and again ten years later. Jennifer Nias discusses the importance attached to the ways in which primary teachers see themselves and the main dimensions of that self-image. She examines the subjective experience of "being a primary teacher," looking at the main factors which contribute to job satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and at teachers' relationships with their colleagues.
