Download or read book The Socialization of Teachers written by Colin Lacey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The change from a student role to a teacher role can be one of the most abrupt and stressful transitions in working life but the process of socialization does not end when the student becomes a fully qualified teacher, as many writers, laymen and sociologists, would have us believe. Colin Lacey argues that socialization is a partial and rarely homogenous process. He illustrates this from a wide variety of interesting case material to show how student teachers adapt their responses to the classroom situation.
