Synopsis

A practical handbook for educators that: examines the role of photography in the school curriculum; argues the importance of a broadly based approach to the development of visual literacy in schools; attempts to define, in both words and images, the centrality of photography and its relevance to a wide range of good educational practice; aims to stimulate the debate about the use of photography in schools; discusses in detail practical resourcing and new technologies; contains a useful bibliography, glossary, networking listing and advice on copyright issues. In addition to the theory and practice of photography in education, the book contains sections on the National Curriculum subjects of Art, English, Geography, History, Science and Technology, and suggestions for work relating to cross-curricular themes, strands and dimensions. It is well illustrated with over 150 colour and black & white photographs, and includes a specially commissioned photo-essay and work from pupils in schools throughout England and Wales.
