| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative case study examines the impact of restructuring on the daily lives of eleven educators across three elementary schools in two rural coastal communities of British Columbia. Specifically, the study explores the changes that have taken place in these communities and elementary schools over the past five or six years. The study also examines the effects on both the professional and personal dimensions of the educators' lives. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups provided the data for this inquiry. Results of a within-case analysis of the each school or "case" are presented. A cross-case analysis then identifies common themes across participants. These themes include continuous change, altered accessibility, and increasing pressures, and heightened concerns and uncertainties. Educators also describe specific behavioral, emotional, and health responses to restructuring. Findings of this inquiry suggest that elementary educators are influenced by restructuring initiatives. Implications for educators, school districts, and educational policy are discussed as well as directions for future research. | |
