ABSTRACT

In this chapter I report on my own experience as a support teacher in a comprehensive school. Although I make frequent reference to a diary I kept during this teaching, I attempt to make the account more than simply an annotated anecdote. I do this by relating my own thoughts and feelings to those of my interviewees in previous chapters. I seek evidence for the emergence of the various schemata and the constructs which accompanied them in those chapters. I shall also seek evidence for the resort to different kinds of solutions (status/autonomy solutions or role/definitional solutions) which I suggested were the likely result of holding particular construct systems.
