Présentation de l'éditeur: When it comes to failing schools, pretty much everyone has an opinion. Whether they advocate ditching the entire educational structure to try a new one, or parachuting in someone from a champion's league of superheads to sort out individual schools, or forcing more parental engagement, it seems there are solutions coming from all sides. Many ideas are dismissed as a political soundbite and those solutions that are implemented never seem to stay the course. Nothing every really changes and our children are the losers. The answer, though, is simple says Trevor Averre-Beeson. Trevor is the inspirational Head behind the turnaround of a large number of schools, including, most notably, Islington Green. The North London school was famed for two reasons: it was the school Tony Blair refused to let his son attend and its pupils provided the anthem-like chorus We Don t Need No Education to Pink Floyd s Another Brick in the Wall. When Trevor joined Islington Green in 2002 the school was under threat of closure, morale was at an all time low, exam grades were in free-fall and dozens of teachers had headed for the door. Over the subsequent five years Trevor followed his tried and tested philosophy to get the school back on its feet, often in the face of interference and opposition from all sides. In We Don t Need No Education, 101 Ways to Transform a School he tells the story of his time at Islington Green and sets out his no nonsense strategy for running a school successfully, however challenging the conditions. He explores concepts such as effective leadership, relations with all stakeholders from parent and the community, to teachers and pupils, and shows how to reward and motivate effectively. Successful strategies such as positive discipline, outstanding teacher programmes and achievement teams are explained. If you are involved in education, either as a provider, or on the receiving end, this book is stuffed full of lessons you can t afford to miss.
