Is fatherhood allowed? : Media discourses of fatherhood in organizational life

2019

2015

ABSTRACTProfessional learning communities (PLC) have been widely accepted as effective with respect to good atmosphere, adequate leadership practices, and functional working practices. However, the outcomes for school improvement depend on case-specific issues.
