Softcover. Etat : Good. "You Wouldnt Understand" looks at ethnic diversity in schools through the eyes of teachers rather than pupils. It tells the story of one white teachers developing understanding of how her own racial and ethnic background influenced the way she regarded and taught the mainly South Asian Muslim children in her classes. She began with a belief that narrowness in the curriculum was her students' problem, but she came to see the bigger picture. The book charts her gradual realization that many of the problems lcome from her own lack of understanding of race, racism, and her own racial identity.The book explores the idea of whiteness as not a biological but a social construction, and one which influences white peoples ways of seeing the world in often unnoticed ways. The author relates whiteness to aspects of her own behaviour, which she recorded in a diary over five years. The book also considers the childrens struggles to construct and understand their own emerging identities in this environment, and the views of several other white teachers, some of whom shared the authors confusion and doubts, and others who were more confident about teaching in culturally diverse classrooms.This searching analysis of the innards of whiteness and the way it affects how white teachers approach pupils who are not white is illuminating and important. It should be required reading for all teacher trainers and all white trainee teachers, as well as for white managers and teachers working in multi-ethnic schools.

Softcover. Etat : Good. 1. This book tells the story of a joyful journey embarked upon by two primary schools. The diversity of needs in their community compelled the schools to devise new ways to prepare children effectively for the challenges of the 21st century.Using the arts as a catalyst, the schools evolved innovative and creative strategies for inspiring and engaging all children in their own learning. An EAZ sponsored collaboration begun four years ago touched every aspect of school life and ultimately it wholly reformed both schools. Contributions from those involved in the schools--the teachers, teaching assistants, children, parents, headteachers, governors, researchers, LEA officers, artists--bring a rich range of perspectives to this exciting account of a complex learning journey.Exploring Creative Learning is for everyone involved in developing creative learning in primary schools: teachers, senior leadership teams, teacher trainers, headteachers, governors, policy makers, and arts organizations looking to work in partnerships with schools.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Cecily ONeill has had a formative impact on the evolution of the creative and dynamic mode of teaching called process drama. Process drama characterizes work powered by transformatory outcomes that bring together the worlds of drama education and theatre practice.Dorothy Heathcote and Gavin Bolton were perceived as the pioneers of a new and radical form of educational praxis but it was ONeill who made that praxis accessible to educators worldwide. Her work on structuring classroom drama, her writings on pretext and process drama, her studies on the imagination, multicultural education, and dramatic form have been influential throughout North America, Europe and Australasia. This book is a compilation of the formative articles of ONeill along with significant commentaries from leaders in the field. It is informed by her work but it is not simply about her.The book explores central questions about designing, implementing and evaluating process drama: What is the critical knowledge in process drama? How can educators structure satisfying learning experiences that promote spontaneous encounters? And what are the theoretical principles in dramatic art that guide innovative teaching through process drama? The answers to these questions make this book immensely valuable to drama practitioners and teacher trainers worldwide.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Our future depends on the state of our imaginations. Drama becomes more important as the world changes. Plays young people write, act in and watch are the blueprints of the world they will have to live in.Edward Bond has chosen in recent years to focus much of his work on plays for young people, arguing that drama helps children to know themselves and their world and their relation to it. This book discusses some of his important plays for young people and offers case studies of various productions of them. Contributors examine how the plays have been used by teachers and theatre companies with young people and they explore the demands of acting and staging Bond.Contributors include Tony Coult, Chris Cooper, Katie Katafiasz, John Doona, Tony Grady and Bill Roper. One chapter is taken from the notes of Geoff Gillham, and one is written by Edward Bond.The book will be of interest to those who work in drama with young people, whether in theatre, community work or in schools.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Surely able pupils have got it all -- intelligence, success, a shining future. How can it be fair to make extra provision when our schools are already hard pressed to deliver the basics? Illustrated with case studies of highly able children currently in British schools, this book demonstrates the range of difficulties they can face, and how inadequate provision can lead to underachievement and disaffection.Carrie Winstanley works within an inclusive definition of high ability that does not ignore underachievers. She shows how unfair and unproductive it is to allow children to have their time wasted in school while they kick their heels and wait for other pupils to catch up.Discussions about the provision for the gifted are obscured by charges of elitism and teachers are understandably reluctant to favour the already favoured. But school provision should be fair to all pupils, including the able, who do need challenge beyond the statutory curriculum. The author examines the current climate of egalitarianism in schools and uses political philosophy to argue that provision is needed to ensure the personal well being of highly able children as well as their potentially significant contribution to society.The principle that should be applied is equality of quality of challenge. The author explores whether there is a singular method to meet pupils heterogeneous needs and evaluates the attractive solution of thinking skills programs as part of a review of practice and provision for fostering gifted childrens learning.

Professor Stuart examines the role of higher education in supporting social mobility from the viewpoint of students who went to English universities during the last half century. Based on nearly 150 life history accounts from graduates who were the first in their families to enter higher education, she shows how individuals moved from their families to achieve at university and go on to work in academia. The book tracks the impact of changes to policies for higher education from the 1950s to the present day through the lens of individual life stories and richly details the effects of political decisions on ordinary peoples lives.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Over one million young people are now NEET--not in education, employment or training. The waste of human resource is tragic and the resultant disaffection could dangerously destabilize society.This book describes the challenges and risks for young people within the NEET category, and the chaotic and confusing lives that some young people lead. These circumstances in turn increase vulnerability to becoming NEET. In a unique collaboration, a Local Authority Educational Psychologist and a Connexions Personal Adviser examine the histories of employment and childhood to reveal the context of NEET. They describe how information about childrens lives can be used to develop screening tools to facilitate early intervention in schools.The five case studies presented are drawn from interviews with young people, their families, schools and Personal Advisers that have been affected by the experience of being NEET. They give readers the methods for understanding the complexity of some young peoples lives from different perspectives. This can be used to develop effective ways of reducing the incidence of NEET among our most vulnerable young people.The book will be useful to everyone working with young people and striving to prevent NEET, in particular staff at secondary schools and academies, personal advisers, educational psychologists, administrators and youth workers.
