The Out-of-Field Teacher in Context: The Impact of the School Context and Environment
chapter
posted on 2019-01-01, 00:00 authored by Anna Du plessis, Linda HobbsLinda Hobbs, Julie Luft, Colleen ValeSchool environments impact student behaviours and share specific goals,
and they develop shared understandings through perceptions and experiences which demonstrate a specific culture in a school community (Shields 2002). Teacher support needs vary, but the adequacy of the support according to teacher needs will strongly influence whether teachers simply cope or manage their out-of-field teaching load. The challenge for out-of-field teachers, then, is how to manage to develop in-depth knowledge of the specific curriculum and how to contribute to planning and evaluating the fit-for-context/fit-for-purpose aspects of the curriculum and the school context. Supporting out-of-field teachers entails an in-depth look at the meaning of
out-of-field teaching for enacting a specific curriculum and of the in-school context as a whole, with a specific focus on communication, collaboration and cooperation within the wider school community.
