“…As teaching adapted to this market environment, it resulted in less teacher autonomy, greater managerialism, and more challenging working conditions. Scholars have since tied the intensification of teachers' work and labor-the tendency to work longer and work harder-to shifting global reforms or "policy technologies" emphasizing performance and accountability targets, standardized curriculum, expanded administrative workload, and increased temporary, contract-based work in teaching (Ball 2003;Brewer et al 2016;Castro, Jabbar, and Miranda 2022;Henry and Dixson 2016;Fitzgerald et al 2019;Horsford, Scott, and Anderson 2018;Lingard 2009). Although the degree and intensity of these reforms vary by national context and are locally specific (Peck 2010); this collective research suggests that market-based reforms impose "an ethical conflict with the ethos of the teaching profession" (Wronowski 2021, 6) that negatively affects teachers' professional identities, mental health and well-being, and their perceptions of job quality and security (Castro, Jabbar, and Miranda 2022;Fitzgerald et al 2019).…”
