Teaching work is being reorganised, but detailed empirical work on how this is happening is rare. The post-Braverman labour process debate has provided insights that are useful in gaining an understanding of these developments, and which are relevant to other mass professions. What are the strategies used to organise and control work? What is happening to teachers’ skills? What about their control over their own work? Changes in the ideologies of central government rather than in the technologies-in-use are proposed as major causes of acceleration in the reorganisation of teaching work, since they lead to new forms of control such as more detailed task specification, the introduction of local management of schools, and inappropriate contractualisation. Suggestions are made about directions fieldwork based studies might take
