Mutual Agency of Teachers and Students in Odds-beating High Schools
Presentation at the American Anthropological Association’s Annual Conference, November 2019
This presentation explores the relationship between teacher and student agency at odds-beating secondary schools. We find that teachers, when offered opportunities to act as agents, tend to offer similar opportunities to their students similarly. This research further suggests that affordances for teachers to assert agency can mitigate the constraining effects of state accountability system compliance-oriented practices.
