Synopsis
Aimed at educators and policy makers, this text examines authority as it is practiced in the classroom. In the first chapter, Pace (U. of San Francisco) and Hemmings (U. of Cincinnati) present some conceptual tools for understanding classroom authority as a social construction. In the chapters that follow, educational researchers describe six field-based qualitative studies that illustrate the dynamics of authority across a spectrum of K-12 and college settings.
