Abstract

The enactment of the policy Innovatory High School Program (ProEMI) in two government-run high schools is analyzed. According to Ball et al., enactment means that policies are interpreted and translated by several political agents within the school environment rather than merely implemented. Working with the prospect of ‘enactment’ provides new possibilities to understand the policy cycle as presented by Ball et al. disconnecting the context of practice in dealing simply with politics in action from the context of influence as the enshrined status of ideas. Current paper tries to show how policies are put into practice by teachers in each specific context, from the resources available in the school and from the feelings and immediate interests of the school community. The reasons for possible differences in the implementation of policy in each of the analyzed contexts are also discussed. In fact, policy results from discussions of various and contextualized demands involving several school agents closely linked to the policy in question.
