Abstract | In the fall of 2012, a series of teacher union strikes in Chicago catalyzed controversial discussions in education within the political sector, as the goals for student achievement gained increasing attention. Hence, discourses as systems of representation within the particular context and time-period of the teacher union strikes in Chicago provided rich, important data for understanding the forms of power and knowledge constructed around educational achievement within the political sphere. In this commentary, the author analyzes a portion of President Barack Obama's interview on NBC News, which aired during the network's 2012 Education Nation Summit. The discussion is framed using the four stages of the Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (Willig, 2008), guided by the following questions: How does the social world expressed through this language recursively shape and become shaped by different discourses of power in educational politics? Specifically, within the context and time period of the teacher union strikes, how do President Obama's constructions of educational achievement through his discourse create a meaningful version of the world in the political sphere?
