Abstract:
This paper uses a case study of a teacher leadership initiative to explore a mode of educational governance that employs ‘bottom-up’ logic and discourse. The authors analyse the origins of this initiative, and–through a policy-making ethnography of the initiative’s enactment at the district level–show how it is sustained and governed through ‘top-down’ structures and strategies.
