You get what you came for? A Case Study and Reflections on Applying an English Inspection Model in International Schooling
Abstract
This article considers the position of international education, and the ways in which it ‘borrows’ performativity structures from the English education system. Utilising a recent Case Study and analysing Ralph Tabberer’s personal reflections on it, the article outlines ways in which we can continue to learn from the socio-cultural dimensions of the English schooling system that are regularly utilised in an international educational context.Downloads
