- Abstract
Engaging the lens of classroom management, this research explores how teachers have been represented in children's picture books as classroom managers. Picture books from the A-Zoo 7th Edition (2005) serve as a foundational data set to explore how the personification of teachers and the reality of the teaching experience are mirrored over time. Charteris's heuristic of epistemological shudders (2014) --identifying a paradox which opens up possibilities for meaning making--was utilized alongside Krippendorff's (1989) content analysis framework. Findings inform how the representation of teachers has portrayed a postmodern, deconstructive worldview regarding classroom management and professional representation, inviting further study into society's ongoing perceptions of the teacher.
