JobLab: a study into the experience of teaching

Teaching is a career that requires dedication and professionalism, and is often cited as being extremely rewarding. Yet often, these aspects are ignored in the press. This research set out to understand what it is that makes teaching so enjoyable and to explore the many aspects of the working day that lead to fulfillment. 'This report provides an extensive insight into the working day of teachers and makes fascinating reading' (Graham Holley, executive director of the Training and Development Agency for Schools). All teachers, educational professionals, and those considering teaching as a career, should read this report.
