Synopsis

This book is a follow-up to the best-selling Trentham handbooks by Robin Richardson: "Here, There and Everywhere" (2005) and "Holding Together" (2009). It has the same engaging layout, with much use of case-studies, stories and pithy quotations. Most though not all of the practical examples are drawn from one local authority, Derbyshire, but are of wide relevance and interest, both nationally and internationally.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Changing Life Chances provides practical guidance for the recently introduced pupil premium aimed at helping schools to improve the life chances of children and young people from lower-income households in England. It offers examples of effective practice for how best to use the premium and is relevant also to the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. But as with all robin Richardson's books, it offers inspiration and deep understanding of the issues, the young people and those who teach them. The book distils the ideas and initiatives of the national programme Narrowing the Gap. Most of the projects described feature Derbyshire County council's initiative as part of this programme. They focus on teachers' expectations and beliefs academic literacy gender differences engaging with parents monitoring and tracking progress primary-secondary transfer cultural and ethnic diversity and the approaches and practical techniques of local community broadcasting This book is a follow-up to the best-selling Trentham handbooks by Robin Richardson: "Here, There and Everywhere" (2005) and "Holding Together" (2009).
