Teacher Status in Dade County: A Case of Structural Strain?

Lortie, Dan C.

Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n8 p568-75 Apr 1986

Analyzes findings of a 1984 teacher attitude survey (from Dade County, Florida) showing declining job satisfaction and extrinsic rewards for a more experienced, better-educated work force than 20 years ago. Examines factors damaging teacher status, including outmoded administrative structures limiting teacher participation. Suggests sharing and inservice education as partial solutions. (MLH)
