The Day After: An Ethnodrama About Teachers’ Decision-Making Amid Silencing School Policies

Abstract

This ethnodrama, based on hundreds of interviews with educators around the United States, takes readers into a school on the day after a national tragedy. Grounded in the theory of Days After Pedagogy, the characters portray the nuances and complexities of educators’ decision-making on days after, especially when working amid silencing school policies. A post-script includes theory, methods, and implications.
