Other Cultures in School
Hargreaves (1994) highlights the four existing
teaching cultures:
1. Individualism- refers to classrooms as "egg-crates"
or "castles". Autonomy isolation and insulation
prevail, and blame and support are avoided.
2. Collaboration- refers to the teachers who choose
spontaneously and voluntarily, to work together,
without external control agenda.
