    Open AccessH SmallerARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly2022References: 7

    Since the late nineteenth century, teachers have come together to found associations and unions in Europe and beyond. Drawing on oral histories, primary and secondary documents, and media reports, this paper delves into this rich historical background, leading to the founding of Education International in 1993. In particular it explores the relationships and tensions within and between these predecessor organizations, as well as the ways in which…

  • The teacher disempowerment debate

    H SmallerARTICLEPaedagogica Historica2015Cited by: 2

    A number of education researchers, both in Europe and in North America, have claimed that classroom teachers in state schooling systems have suffered from a process of "de-professionalisation" and/or "de-skilling" over recent decades. This paper argues that these claims are problematic, on at least two grounds. First, for teachers at least, "professional" is basically an ideological concept with little if any descriptive validity. To the extent t…

    H SmallerARTICLEEducation et sociétés2007References: 4

    Aux XIX e et XX e siècles, comme leurs homologues d’autres pays, les enseignants canadiens se sont engagés dans l’activité militante. Dans chaque province ou presque, ils sont sortis de leurs salles de classe et ont rendu public leur engagement en vue d’améliorer leurs salaires, leurs avantages et leurs conditions de travail. Quelques grèves ont duré un jour ou deux, impliquant un petit nombre d’écoles, tandis que d’autres se sont prolongées sur …

  • Teacher Unions, (Neo)Liberalism and the State

    H SmallerARTICLEPaedagogica Historica2004Cited by: 2

    In 1885, following a period of severe economic depression and social unrest in colonial Canada, state teachers in rural Perth County, Ontario met and formed the nucleus of what could clearly be described as a teachers' union. The idea spread quickly, and within six months the founding convention of a province‐wide union was held in Toronto. Understandably, state officials were not pleased, and worked assiduously over the ensuing months to counter…
