Gendered time poverty
Teaching is often framed as a ‘family-friendly’ profession, aligned with women's caring roles. This paper challenges that assumption by examining how contemporary teaching produces gendered forms of time poverty. Drawing on 43 interviews, we develop a theoretically informed analysis that brings together Rosa's concept of social acceleration and Wajcman's account of time pressure. We argue that shifts in workload and work intensity which produce t…
Commercial curriculum, efficiency claims and teachers’ work
This paper presents a systematic literature synthesis examining commercial curriculum resources and their effects on teachers’ workload, with a specific focus on lesson planning and preparation time. The review develops a typology spanning commercially published curriculum materials, including textbooks, scripted programs, online repositories, digital platforms, and more recently GenAI tools. Across resource types, the dominant policy and provide…
Philanthropy in higher education
Philanthropic partnerships are playing an increasingly prominent role in the agendas of higher education institutions. As universities seek external support to fund student equity initiatives and research, attention to how these partnerships are enacted has become critical. This paper draws on affect theory to examine the experiences of academic and professional staff involved in the operationalisation of philanthropic partnerships in Australia. …
Rethinking equity in school funding models
Equity-focused, needs-based school funding models are widely used to address educational disadvantage, yet they tend to conceptualise equity in relation to students and student outcomes, rendering teachers’ wellbeing largely invisible. This paper argues that student-centred equity frameworks externalise the labour and emotional costs of equity onto teachers, undermining workforce sustainability and the long-term enactment of equity particularly i…
Doing enactment within the logics of policy privatisation
The logics of policy privatisation in schooling, including decentralisation, school autonomy, and discretionary funding mechanisms, shift responsibility for particular types of students onto individual schools and their staff. Burch (Citation2021) asks to what extent the most disadvantaged students in government schools are able to access services most beneficial to them, under these emerging forms of privatisation. With this question in mind, th…
A philanthropic misnomer
This paper critically examines the category of ‘Other Private Sources’ (OPS) of income in school funding reporting, focusing on its use within Queensland public schools. While OPS is positioned in national frameworks like MySchool as a measure of additional private income - encompassing grants, sponsorships and fundraising - our analysis shows it functions as a catch-all for routine financial transactions, shaped more by local administrative disc…
The rhetoric of teacher quality
Outsourcing in HPE
The policy simulacrum
When did workload become the policy problem? Analysing Australian teacher workforce surveys (1963–2023)
Workload, work intensification and time poverty for teachers and school leaders
This paper presents a synthesis of research literature concerned with teachers’ and school leaders’ experiences of workload and work intensification. Forty papers met the inclusion criteria for the research synthesis. From the analysis, we drew out both definitional and experiential accounts. Firstly, while we mostly found a conflation of the concepts of workload and work intensification, there is a distinction between the two that was apparent i…
Initial teacher education is not the problem
This abstract presents an analysis of federal policies concerning rural, regional, and remote (RRR) teaching, focusing on initial teacher education and teaching quality within these areas. The study utilises Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to Be?’ (WPR) approach to interrogate the framing of RRR teaching issues within policy discourse. Through a comprehensive review of two federal policies, this analysis explores how the design and imple…
Researching teachers’ time use
In the context of global concerns about teacher workload and the relationship between workload and attrition, understanding the nature, quantity and intensity of teachers’ work is an essential first step in formulating robust solutions to this significant problem. Understanding teachers’ work, however, is a complex undertaking, and prior attempts have largely been focused on the quantity rather than the intensity or quality of work required and u…
The cultural politics of emotion and mothers’ responsibility for school choice
This paper focuses on school choice within the public school system in Queensland, Australia.While school choice has typically been framed as a logic of economic rationalism (for middle-class families), in this paper we use Ahmed's concept of the cultural politics of emotion to describe a more complex dimension of choice through gendered community.We argue that mothers become responsibilized for school choice, and in the process become emotionall…
Chaplains in Australian public schools? A matter of philanthropy
This paper uses the case of chaplains in Australian public schools to construct a Foucauldian dispositif. In examining the interplay between discourse and material structures, we argue that the embedding of chaplaincy in public schooling is driven by economic rather than purely ideological discourse. We highlight the evolving social and political dynamics and the construction and regulation of knowledge and practices, demonstrating that philanthr…
Commercialisation in Australian public education and its implications for the delivery of English as an Additional Language/Dialect
Privatisation and commercialisation in education encompass a range of interrelated practices, including the outsourcing of educational services as well as increased reliance on commercially produced resources for the delivery of learning and assessment. An increase in these practices has accompanied the shift from centralised systemic management of schools and specific programs like English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D), to school aut…
Philanthropy, marketing disadvantage and the enterprising public school
Disadvantage in schooling is often constructed as a crisis in need of fixing. Global policy reforms tend to emphasise that solutions for disadvantage often lie beyond the capacity of the state, necessitating private/philanthropic intervention. This paper seeks to contribute to this line of analysis by investigating the rise of philanthropy in Australian public schooling. Our analysis focuses on the intermediary organisation, Schools Plus, which w…
Marketing Australian public schools
Marketization is the development of quasi-markets on the systemic level, which promote choice, competition, accountability, and devolution in public schooling. Marketing is a strategy that individual school leaders employ to respond to these logics. This paper argues that education marketization has led to an increase in school-based marketing within the Australian public school system. The eight public school principals we report on here, percei…
Running the canteen for profit
In a globally austere policy context, state financing of public services has been positioned as perennially ‘in crisis’ with private intervention a positive solution. There is a general assumption – in education policy and practice – that philanthropic donations can be a solution to reduced public funding of schooling. While much research investigates the role of new philanthropy and venture capital in funding and influencing public schooling, th…
The ‘everywhere and nowhere’ English language policy in Queensland government schools
The paper explores the policy logics of privatisation through service provision for students with English as an Additional language or dialect (EAL/D) in the state education system of Queensland, Australia. In the context of EAL/D, specifically targeted policy has been subsumed by a broader umbrella or meta-policy of inclusion, whilst at the same time, funding support for EAL/D learners is substantial. The devolution of EAL/D support to individua…
If you can’t beat them, join them’
Marketisation and competition within public schooling systems impact the work of principals in varying ways. Previous work on the marketisation of schooling and school autonomy has drawn attention to the ‘entrepreneurial principal’ as an effect of marketisation. In this paper we explore principals’ engagements with marketisation based on 21 interviews with public school principals across two Australian states. Using the work of Christiaens (Citat…
Commercial triage in public schooling
The importance of commercial products increased in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as leaders grappled with school closures. Pre-COVID principals viewed their schools as mainly procuring commercial services for administrative support and teacher professional development. After school closures, principals came to emphasise commercialisation as technological infrastructure, online learning platforms, video conferencing software a…
Mapping categories of philanthropy in Australian public schooling
Global narratives of educational philanthropy tend to emphasise the significant influence donors have in shaping public school policy and practice. In Australia, however, tax laws work to narrow the possibilities for philanthropy to exert influence over public schooling. Indeed, public schools (unlike private schools and Higher Education institutions) are unable to receive ‘direct’ philanthropic income, yet they can benefit from philanthropically…
Making work private
This paper explores perceptions of work intensification around the world. Underpinning this analysis is C. Wright Mills’ (1959) argument that many personal troubles are public issues, and the notion that a significant dimension of the privatisation of public education, a concern of public education advocates worldwide, is the ways in which school work has become a private issue. One hundred and thirty interviews were conducted with education stak…
Policy borrowing and teacher professionalism
This article examines attempts to professionalize the teaching workforce in the Pacific Islands (PI) in response to the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 4c – Increase the Supply of Qualified Teachers in Developing Countries. The experience of PI educators provides insight into the clash between global standard agendas, driven by targets and indicators, and distinct local realities or vernaculars. Questionnaire data from 82 teacher and p…
Network ethnography and the cyberflâneur
This paper makes the argument that new global spatialities and new governance structures in education have important implications for how we think about education policy and do education policy analysis. This context necessitates that researchers engage in new methodologies to ensure that there is a suitable link between their research problem and the methods utilised for its investigation. To this end, I suggest that network ethnography can be c…

Reform first and ask questions later? The implications of (fast) schooling policy and ‘silver bullet’ solutions
This article explores the uptake of so-called fast policy solutions to problems in different education policy contexts and highlights the potential impacts that can arise from such policymaking approaches. We draw upon recent literature and theorising around notions of fast policy and evidence-informed policymaking, which suggests that, in an increasingly connected, globalised and temporally compressed social world, policymaking has become ‘speed…
Commercialising comparison
This paper provides a critical policy analysis of The Learning Curve (TLC) (2012), an initiative developed by the multinational edu-business, Pearson, in conjunction with the Economist Intelligence Unit. TLC exemplifies the commercialising of comparison and the efforts of edu-businesses to strategically position themselves in education policy processes globally. In analysing TLC, our account seeks to proffer a critical analysis of this emerging p…
Nuancing the critique of commercialisation in schools
This paper investigates the commercialisation of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Australian schools. Specifically, it focuses on understanding why teachers value commercial resources, and how they enact these in their classrooms. Theorising around teacher agency suggests teachers are now choosing to use a range of commercial resources and view these as important additions to their pedagogical toolbox. Teachers want high quality resources, …
Boundary spanners, network capital and the rise of edu-businesses
This paper provides a critical analysis of News Corporation and argues that through the acquisition of high profile policy actor, Joel Klein, News Corporation has been able to assemble significant network capital to position itself as an entity apparently responsible for the public good and with a role to play in public policymaking. My aim in this paper was to document and analyse how the contexts of policy influence in education are evolving th…
The development and evaluation of the intervention model for the Florida Infant Mental Health Pilot Program
The focus of this paper is on the development and evaluation of an intervention model for Florida's Infant and Young Child Mental Health Pilot Program, designed to identify families with children at risk for abuse and neglect, and to provide clinical evaluation and treatment services. The evaluation model, intervention strategies, and results presented in this paper are all part of the Florida pilot project developed as a response to the recommen…

Romancing the public school
In Anglophone countries, narratives of public schooling tend to emphasise generic hopes about schooling as central to the idea of a public good, including fostering community, delivering equality and protecting broad notions of democracy. However, as public systems become more open to privatised logics, these hopes sit alongside fears for the future of ‘publicness’. Through analysis of participant interviews in four education systems in Canada, E…
TellPearson
This paper investigates the contemporary nature of education activism in the context of the Global Education Industry (GEI). Theorising around contentious politics, the activist teaching profession, and notions of ‘connective’ action, suggests that educational activists are now using social media to oppose the increasing commercialisation of education. This paper focuses on the ‘#tellPearson’ campaign to explore how Twitter was leveraged as a soc…
Youth sport policy
Youth sport policies are increasingly driven by health concerns and social issues, and focus on broad participation outcomes. Given the significant financial investment in, and critique of, such policies internationally, this study aimed to examine the implementation of Sporting Schools (SS), a $100 million programme intended to increase children’s sport participation in Australia. In addressing the limited research in this area in the Australian…

The commercialisation of school administration
The intensification of data collection practices in schooling – often due to state accountability requirements – has resulted in the widespread adoption of commercial student management systems (SMS) in schools. Drawing on a qualitative case study of a New Zealand primary school, this paper investigates its adoption of a commercial SMS, and the ways this product re-engineers schooling processes, including what student data is collected, how schoo…
The commercial school heterarchy
This paper explores the rise of philanthropy and the influence corporate partnerships have on the practice of public schooling. We do this by focusing on one public school in Australia and its partnership with one global commercial actor. The paper proceeds by outlining new philanthropy in public schooling and in particular, how commercial organisations are now sponsoring or making donations to local public schools as part of their focus on Corpo…
School-based sports development and the role of NSOs as ‘boundary spanners’
The focus of this paper is on Sporting Schools, a $100 million policy initiative intended to increase children’s sport participation in Australia. Our account seeks to proffer a critical analysis of this federal policy, and the way it functions as part of the new heterarchical or networked form of sports governance in Australia. Using a network ethnography methodology, we analyse Sporting Schools from the perspective of National Sporting Organisa…
Competencies for infant mental health therapists
We report on data provided by a nationwide panel of 23 infant mental health (IMH) experts who provided numerical ratings of the relative importance of 143 competencies desirable for licensed mental health therapists working with infants/children birth to 5 years of age and their families/caregivers. The competencies were developed based on prior state and national efforts and our own experience in training IMH therapists. The competencies were gr…

Learning to be researchers in physical education and sport pedagogy
Numerous academics have argued that if a field is to progress, attention needs to be paid to how future generations of researchers are being prepared. To date, data generated on research training in physical education and sport pedagogy (PESP) have primarily focused on students undertaking doctoral programmes with a formal coursework component, which is the model predominantly used in the USA. The traditional master-apprentice model is still, how…
School, community, and family working together to address childhood obesity
Epidemiological data on childhood obesity has prompted a significant response from both governments and academics seeking to recommend solutions to the reported ‘crisis’. The ‘Kinder Overweight Active Living Action’ (KOALA) healthy lifestyle programme is a randomized obesity prevention and intervention study designed to provide an understanding of how school, family, and community can work in partnership to holistically address childhood obesity.…
Assessing interactional competencies
Interactional competencies that develop in the first two years of life provide a foundation for all further social and communicative developments. Their normal acquisition, especially in the handicapped, can not be taken for granted. If delays in social-communicative development can be identified early in life and changes made in how the social environment interacts with the child, intervention may effectively facilitate social development. Howev…
The Adaptive Social Behavior Inventory (Asbi)
This article describes a new inventory for preschool social development. Scale construction was undertaken as an ancillary project in a multi-site study of early intervention for high-risk infants. Scale development began with extensive review; piloting was conducted to ensure appropriateness for mothers of varying educational levels. Descriptive and psychometric data on the 30-item inventory are presented for the sample of 545 3-year-olds. The t…

Anxiety state
This paper uses Anderson’s notion of ‘imagined community’ to argue that how people think about the publicness of their school system provides insight into the functioning and flourishing of communities, societies and nations.

This double special issue, “Teachers and educational policy: markets, populism, and im/possibilities for resistance” explores the figurative politics of the teacher in current education systems around the world. In this introduction to the issue, we discuss how and why teachers have emerged as a key focus of contemporary policy reform. We argue that teachers are seen as a logical site of public commentary in the global knowledge economy, yet teac…
