Categorising the Imagination in the Age of Standards-Based Reforms: Teaching, Learning and Culture in the English Classroom
Wood, Heather
Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, v21 n3 p288-297 2014
In this essay I explore the tensions between the static nature of standardised assessment and the dynamic student-focussed approach to appreciating literature that I value. I have closely analysed two of a series of lessons on the gothic literary genre taught by a student teacher on her first placement. By reflecting critically on my own journey as a teacher and by drawing on the recent debate surrounding the inculcation of genre theory in the curriculum, this essay aims to explore the way that such standard-based reforms can shape and mould the topic.
