This book explores how, why, and with what consequences one
no-excuses charter network marketizes teaching and learning,
through the author's 1000 hours of covert participant observation
at a network charter school. In her research, Brooks found that the
"AAG" (pseudonym) network re-conceptualized teaching by urging
staff to envision their careers in corporate education rather than
in classroom teaching. While some employees received a boost up the
corporate ladder, others found themselves being pushed out of the
organization. Despite AAG's equity-conscious discourse,
administrators emphasized controlling student behavior as a central
measure of teaching effectiveness. Brooks develops the concept of
creative compliance to describe the most successful teachers'
tactics for adhering to formal policies strategically, bending the
rules in order to survive and advance in a workplace fraught with
competition and insecurity.
