Overview
What effects do space and time have on classroom management, discipline, and regulation? How do teachersā practices create schooled and literate students? To explore these questions, this book looks at early childhood classrooms, charting the shifts and continuities asĀ four-year-old children begin preschool, move from preschool into primary school, and come to the end of the first phase of schooling at nine years. The literacy classroom is used as a specific site in which to examine how childrenās bodies are disciplined to become literate.
This is not a book that theorizes space, time, discipline, bodies, and literacy in abstract ways. Rather, working from a Foucaultian premise that discipline is directed onto childrenās bodies, it moves from theory to practice. Photographs, lesson transcripts, interviews, and childrenās work show how teachersā practices are enacted on childrenās bodies in time and space. In this way, teachers are offered practical examples from which to think about their own classrooms and classroom practice, and to reflect on what works, why it works, and what can be changed.
