Strands of Commitment within the Process of Teacher Initiated Innovation.
Sparkes, Andrew C.
Educational Review, v40 n3 p301-17 1988

Analysis indicates that teachers' commitment is multidirectional and multifaceted, with different aspects gaining prominence depending upon individual life circumstances. (Author/CH)
