Teaching, Guilt, and Moral Injury
Reform for “These” Kids
Charter schools were originally envisioned as laboratories of innovation, but we have scant empirical evidence of how charter policies and ideas have spread beyond charter walls into the wider educational landscape. The diffusion of knowledge reflects networks of power, and tracing diffusion can unearth the discursive and power dynamics at play. Using a systematic search of publicly-available documents, this study investigated the geographic diff…
Scripted, structured, stranded
Signifying Improvement
School Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been shown to be generally of poor quality and written more as acts of compliance than efforts at genuine reform. This raises the question: if SIPs are ineffective at improving schools, what is their larger purpose? In this conceptual paper, we argue that SIPs are discursive sites where schools can signal their adherence to ostensibly proven and acceptable models of reform. They do so through the use of reform…
Continent imaginaries across time
In 1928, the United States Government published the Meriam Report. Almost a century later, the 2023 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report was released by UNESCO. In this paper I put these documents in conversation to trace the common ideological threads woven into the transition from a colonial era to our globalised world of mass schooling. The two reports seemingly have distinct emphases. A fixation on imperial expansion, Indigenous assimilat…
Uncommon or too common? The discursive diffusion and transformation of charter edupreneurial policy ideas
Posting Against the System
After the murder of George Floyd, Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) teachers at no-excuses charter management organizations (CMOs) formed digital counterpublics on Instagram to anonymously denounce their CMO experience. Grounded in the concept of neoliberalism, Critical Race Theory, and Black Critical Theory, this study uncovers the primary patterns in teacher posts across CMO-based BIPOC@ and Black@ Instagram accounts. Teachers engage…
Evading a Post-Truth World
Autonomy in the spaces
The work of teachers has historically been highly controlled, but one area teachers have been granted considerable autonomy is in instruction and planning. Teacher autonomy is a complex concept with important implications for both the quality of instruction and teacher persistence in the field. The rise of charter management organizations (CMOs) and the increasing use of scripted lesson plans (SLPs) have introduced new institutional arrangements …
Putting the Self in Self-Efficacy
The factors that influence the construction of a teacher’s sense of self-efficacy are complex. The authors used a qualitative research design to explore the reflections of a sample of 25 K-12 early career teachers as they made sense of their own abilities. The results show that theorized sources of self-efficacy—mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, and verbal persuasion—all remain important but are interpreted through each participant’s un…
Transforming through power
Schools are unique institutions where structural and cultural dynamics shape the actions of humans. Power is everywhere, and the structures of schools channel power in ways that shape the identities of teachers. Yet, teachers find ways to challenge existing dynamics and in their confrontations with power can create new ways of being. This study uses a grounded theory approach to analyze interviews and observations of seven New York City public sc…
An Age-old Craft in a New-age Pandemic
Self-efficacy is a story
Purpose A The purpose of this study was to better understand how teachers find agency in challenging circumstances. The authors sought to investigate this by examining the developing self-efficacy beliefs of teachers over time. Design/methodology/approach A longitudinal multi-case study methodology is used to investigate the stories of three new teachers over a two-year period spanning the onset of the pandemic. Narrative and thematic analysis wa…
Negotiating Power within School Structures
Schools are unique institutions where structural and cultural dynamics shape the actions of humans. Teachers work within structures of power to establish themselves as legitimate authority figures worthy of respect. This is complicated by the multi-faceted relationships of power existing everywhere in schools. In this study, I use a grounded theory approach to analyze the reflections and practice of public school teachers as they seek to establis…

Low-fee private schooling and poverty in developing countries
Book Review: In Low-fee Private Schooling and Poverty in Developing Countries, Joanna Härmä draws on primary research carried out in sub-Saharan African countries and in India to show how the poor are being failed by both government and private schools. The primary research data and experiences are combined with additional examples from around the world to offer a wide perspective on the issue of marketized education, low-fee private schooling an…
