This book examines the varied, often demanding commitments on teachers' lives today as they attempt to pursue careers in primary and secondary education. It probes not only teachers' everyday lives, but also the ways in which they negotiate the pitfalls of professional development and the different life and work "scenarios" that challenge their sense of identity, well-being and effectiveness.--[book cover]
