  • More about Propping up the Performative School: A Critical Examination of the English Educational Paraprofessional

This book examines the role, practices, and everyday work experiences of educational paraprofessionals, drawing on international literature to trace the genealogy of the learning mentor role in English state secondary education and exploring the legacy of the paraprofessional movement in the 1960s USA.

Format: Hardback
Length: 256 pages
Publication date: 12 September 2022
Publisher: Emerald Publishing Limited


Much has been written about 'performance and the 'audit culture' in relation to the teaching profession, but this literature has been neglectful of how these might impact educational paraprofessionals. Informed by Institutional Ethnography, this book provides a critical examination of the role, practices, and everyday work experiences of educational paraprofessionals. Taking the learning mentor in English state secondary education as its starting point, the study then draws on international, historical literature to trace the genealogy of this role and examines the legacy of the paraprofessional movement in 1960s USA. Ultimately, the question of the adequacy of short-term policy initiatives in the face of intractable social inequalities is explored.
