Book Synopsis

This book looks at how teachers can attempt to give good quality pastoral care, whether as a form tutor in the first instance or in a managerial role further along in their development.

Booknews

Looks at how professionals can attempt to give good quality pastoral care, whether as classroom teachers or in managerial roles, drawing on outcomes from an innovative program for teachers in Ireland. Uses practical case studies as examples of what can be achieved, and explores the educational theory of this area. Extracts from dissertations of teachers, produced between 1993 and 1996, contain stories of their professional learning in pastoral care contexts Annotation c.
