Goddard, J. Tim
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v46 n4 p293-310 Win 2000
A study investigated the effects of major social, economic, and political disruption on the perceptions of 232 Cape Breton (Nova Scotia) teachers concerning their professional lives and identities. Teachers believed they were transmitters of information and values, but felt that those outside the school did not understand the stresses and nuances of the contemporary classroom.
