Neoliberal REFORMS HAVE:

  • Mandated testing regimes

  • Narrowed accountability measures so that teachers are positioned as technicians rather than experts

  • Created systems wherein educators are surveilled, mistrusted, and emotionally dislocated from their pedagogical values (Cody 2019).

  • Normalized job instability and deteriorating working conditions—conditions that produce chronic stress and persistent fear regarding employment security and professional survival (Blair 2018).
