Synopsis

Consisting of 18 teachers' reports on attempts to change traditional learning environments, the contributors argue for a commitment to whole curriculum planning, which embraces a variety of learning environments both inside and outside the school walls. There is a particular concern in several of the reports for lower attaining pupils and those pupils who seem to gain very little from `normal lessons'.

Synopsis

This book is about changes that have been taking place in Britain's secondary schools during the 1980s. These changes have led to teachers and pupils being involved in activities which will seem far removed from most readers' memories of their own schooling, and perhaps their current notions as to what goes on in schools. The changes represent a response from teachers and schools to the demands which were being voiced during the late 1970s and 1980s - in short, Britain's school system was under fire for its lack of adaptability to a changing economic and social context. Schools were criticized for remaining closed communities, isolated from the real world and dominated by an outdated examination structure, which gave success to very few whilst ensuring that most experienced failure.
