Abstract

The interview data gathered in the study indicate that, despite teachers' discourse being still rooted firmly in the genre of Fullan's (1995) multiple innovations era, there are a number of new realities for teachers at work in today's schools. Undeniably, it is clear that some of these realities have been part of teachers' working lives for a number of years, and are thus somewhat less 'new' than the others. However, it is the simultaneous co-existence of all seven factors that has important implications for teachers and their work lives in Australian state schools from the time of the late 1990s.
