Abstract

Within the context of a small-scale narrative inquiry research project, this chapter considers the impact of working with children with challenging behaviours, the boundaries between the professional and the personal, and the impact of school leadership. The level to which practitioners’ beliefs and values are reflected with the discourses of their narratives is then considered and implications for practice are suggested. Furthermore, the impact of the discourse between researcher and participants, within the research context, will be explored. The intersection between the practitioners’ discourse and that of a ‘like-minded’ researcher will be considered and the transformative nature of the meeting of these discourses during the course of the research will be discussed.
