Education in Popular Culture Telling Tales on Teachers And Learners

This book provides an overview of education as it is represented in popular culture, together with a framework through which educators can interpret these representations in relation to their own professional values and development. This framework also links the portrayal of teachers with on-going educational and political discourses. Demonstrating how popular culture both reflects and constructs social and professional ideas about the teacher, the book looks at a number of themes central to current debates about education: sexuality of teachers and of pupils bullying pupil rebellion and underachievement school as a community lifelong learning.Fisher, Roy is the author of 'Education in Popular Culture Telling Tales on Teachers And Learners' with ISBN 9780415332415 and ISBN 0415332419.
