Teachers in trouble : an exploration of the normative character of teaching / Stuart Piddocke, Romulo Magsino, Michael Manley-Casimir.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-293) and index.

"The authors of this book examine how teacher conduct is monitored and what types of misconduct can produce 'social dramas'. Boards of reference have been established to arbitrate disputes between school boards and teachers who are dismissed. Drawing on the decisions of these boards of reference across Canada, the authors identify normative issues and propose a classification scheme for contentious behaviours." "Teachers in Trouble poses fundamental questions about the role of teachers in society. It is an invaluable guide for teachers and professional organizations, education administrators, and members of the community who are concerned about ethics in our schools."--Jacket.
