| description | Affiliated college academic staff members in India represent an abundance of frontline knowledges which hold great promise for impacting bottom-up policy. However, their knowledges are typically missing from the literature nor shared cross-institutionally. While it is common for them to express a lack of discretion, many find avenues for invoking high impact practices common to street-level bureaucrats. This study focuses on how they navigate university curriculum and exam policies through six emerging and high impact practices. This study highlights their high impact practices performed by illustrating meaningful mechanisms for coping and adapting to policies, and emerging insights regarding the role policymakers play in response to academics. We do this via composite storytelling, which merges participants’ perspectives into narratives. Findings suggest grounding (in part) street-level bureaucrats high impact practices when (re)developing policies and the channels through which policies flow, to support the ways frontline workers cope and adapt to their work.
