Viimaste aastakümnete hariduspoliitilist arengut läänemaailmas on suunanud neoliberalistlikud initsiatiivid, mille tulemusel on suurenenud muutustele keskenduvate uuringute arv. Siinses uurimuses kasutatakse muutustega kaasnenud mõju uurimiseks murrangute kontseptsiooni, seades eesmärgiks selgitada ja mõista neoliberaalsete haridusreformide trajektoore Eestis aastatel 1987–2017. Selleks loodi esmalt muutuste tausta kirjeldavad süsteemi ja tööelu narratiivid, mille alusel tehti kindlaks toimunud murrangud ning nende mõju õpetajate tööelule. Olgugi et süsteemi narratiiv toetas neoliberalistliku initsiatiivi rakendamist, esines nende trajektoorides arvukaid murranguid. Süsteemi ja tööelu narratiivi kõrvutades ilmnes, kuidas reformid töötasid sageli õpetajate kogemuse ja töö ajaloo konteksti vastu, selgitades nii murrangute tagamaid. Mõned negatiivsed tagajärjed – näiteks kogukonna killustumine või kogukonnasisese hierarhia tekke tajumine – ei ole seega otseselt mõne reformi või initsiatiivi tulemus, vaid toimunud murrangu esilekutsutud muutuse tagajärg.
