Journal Article
Adams, P. (2011). From 'ritual' to 'mindfulness': Policy and pedagogic positioning. Discourse, 32(1), 57-69. https://doi.org/10.1080/01596306.2011.537071

Schools and professionals respond to statute in different ways. However,professional activity is more than mediated response to policy. Versions ofpedagogy are not simply envisaged on high and enacted in the workplace. Thispaper examines how professi...
