The Sharp Edge of Educational Change: Teaching, Leading, and the Realities of Reform

Nina Bascia, Andy Hargreaves

Routledge, 2000 - Education - 244 pages

The Sharp Edge of Educational Change conveys the realities of reform as they affect educators' practice. The collected chapters each focus on particular current reform and reveal the technical and logistical complications, social and political dynamics, cognitive disjunctures and limitations, and emotional demands of reform. In so doing, they provide new and rich conceptual perspectives on the contemporary nature of teachers' and administrators' work in classrooms, schools and other educational settings.
