Description

Drawing on an ethnography conducted in a state secondary school, this book provides a critical examination of the role and practice of educational paraprofessionals, focusing on the learning mentor. It explores the lived reality of their work and how these ‘new’ roles are framed within more established discourses like ‘pastoral care’.
