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 establish positive classroom cultures and make an impact in their school communities. They navigated, accepted, and resisted shifting structures of power to find small spaces to carry out their own agendas.

学校结构内的谈判权

学校是独特的机构，结构和文化动态决定着人类的行为。教师在权力结构内工作，以使自己成为值得尊重的合法权威人物。学校中各处都存在着多方面的权力关系，这使情况变得复杂。在本研究中，我使用扎根的理论方法来分析公立学校教师在寻求建立积极的课堂文化并对其学校社区产生影响时的反思和实践。他们导航，接受并抵制权力结构的变化，以寻找小空间来执行自己的议程。
