Summary "New Teacher Identity and Regulative Government documents in real time the implementation of a major government numeracy programme and its receipt by trainee and new teachers. It shows how such managerialist policies cast teachers as civil servants through de-professionalising the conception of their role. The book provides an easy and accessible commentary utilising contemporary theory to describe how such teachers reconcile their personal aspirations with the external demands they encounter in negotiating their identities as professional teachers. It further shows how recent advances in psychoanalytic and post-structuralist theory enable a fresh approach to analysing teacher experience of, and response to, policy implementation. And more broadly, by situating education in a wider social framework, this book demonstrates how we can better formulate solutions to new problems in conceptualising education policy." "This book will be of interest to researchers in mathematics education, teacher education, policy implementation, contemporary theory and psychoanalysis in education, as well as to student teachers, teacher educators, teachers carrying out in-service training and postgraduate students in education."--Jacket
