The Emotional Contours and Career Trajectories of (Disappointed) Reform Enthusiasts.

Little, Judith Warren

Cambridge Journal of Education, v26 n3 p345-59 Nov 1996

Illuminates teachers' experience of heightened emotionality in response to participation in large-scale reform and its relationship to career discontinuity or career risk. Points to three conditions intensifying emotional responses to reform and resulting in career turning points. Underscores the limitations of viewing "reform" as primarily a structural problem. (DSK)
