Teachers are entertainers. They perform to a myriad of audiences in any given day, in part to students in a classroom, to parents or collegues in the staffroom. These performances need to be carefully scuplted and managed to ensure that the audience engages with each presentation. This paper discusses the complex nature of the construction of the teaching persona through a triangulated approach that intersects media, sociology and education by utilising autoethnography and textual analysis to explore how teachers create and maintain a persona in contemporary society.
