Professions and professionalism

An excellent overview of key dimensions of professionalism, including a paper by Sally Power on ‘the imaginative professional’ is:

  • Cunningham, B. (Ed.) (2008) Exploring Professionalism, London: Institute of Education. (Reading 17.4)

Eric Hoyle’s classic paper on restricted and extended professionalism can be found in:

  • Hoyle, E. and Megarry, J.  (2005) World Yearbook of Education 1980: The Professional Development of Teachers (reprinted), London: Routledge.

For a historically contextualised account of the development of teachers’ professional agency, see:

  • McCullough, G., Helsby, G. and Knight, P. (2000) The Politics of Professionalism: Teachers and the Curriculum, London: Continuum.
