Reviews

"Because Kate is in schools and among teachers all the time she can see how messy and complex school improvement really is. Here she exposes just one aspect of that - the interwoven tangle of emotional behaviour and events when teachers' sex and school lives coincide. She makes you think more deeply about that essential of successful schools - a shared value system when in practice acceptable values are themselves shifting over time. Any head or would be school leader will find it a well used comparison when the time they need to use it arrives". - Tim Brighouse 'The educational literature has been strangely quiet on matters of immense significance to teachers. Kate Myers enters this contentious territory with sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the issues, drawing on a decade and more of research. For beginning and serving teachers and for those who lead and train them this is a serious and very important book.' - John MacBeath, Professor of Educational Leadership, University of Cambridge"
