Synopsis

During the 2020 pandemic lockdown, an experienced UK school leader dissects the assumptions which underpin his work and his school, seeking to explore what the school he leads actually does, what pupils actually experience, and how he and the school he leads could approach their daily work differently. Content ranges form the pitfalls of teacher training to the purpose of school from the perspective of pupils, from careers education to the curriculum, from the way pupils actually learn to the psychology of school reform. This book of wide-ranging, personal and sometimes biting reflections provokes educators, school leaders, governors and trustees, policy makers, parents, and pupils to think deeply and clearly about their own hopes and dreams for school and for education. A book about school, teaching and leadership like no other. By turns, philosophical, funny, rueful, wistful and infuriating, this book will inspire teachers, school leaders, policy makers, parents, and pupils to think about school in a new way.More information about LC Press can be found at www.lcpress.org.uk
