Product Description

Upon its initial publication, many reviewers dubbed Dan C. Lortie's Schoolteacher the best social portrait of the profession since Willard Waller's classic The Sociology of Teaching. This new printing of Lortie's classic—including a new preface bringing the author's observations up to date—is an essential view into the world and culture of a vitally important profession.

Bible of Teacher Education5
It is almost a text definitely to read in the research of Teacher Education. You can find a lot of writer cited this remarkable research in their articles or books. I hope more similar sociological research can be found in different cultures to explore school teacher life.

This book fills a desparate need for reflective teachers.5
Mr. Lortie has written a study that cuts to the heart of the teaching profession. He analyzes the overt and subliminal messages that teachers are bombaded with from the first day that they enter the profession. I recommend this book to teachers and those interested in understanding the unique social structure that we call "school"
