ABSTRACT

The intention in this chapter is to provide a summary, with brief comments, of a quantitative kind, about the time spent on work by the teachers whose interviews comprise the main evidence in this book. It is a summary only, relating to two years and a relatively small group of teachers. The picture of infant teachers’ work under change, however, is very similar to that provided in the first book in this series (Primary Teachers at Work), which is based on more teachers, both infant and junior, across a wider-time frame. The relatively objective data in this chapter connect directly in many places with, and thus help to frame, the more subjective interview material.
