Managing the Dilemmas of Professional and Bureaucratic Authority in a High School English Class.
Pace, Judith L.
Sociology of Education, v76 n1 p37-52 Jan 2003
Examines a case study of a high-track English class to show how teachers use multiple claims to legitimacy and ambiguous standards to negotiate classroom authority. Finds relationships between teachers and students involve both conflict and collusion. Claims that a teacher's professional authority can be undermined by reliance on bureaucratic authority. (CAJ)
