Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Esta obra es el resultado de una investigación a lo largo de muchos años del equipo de profesionales junto con la directora de la escuela primaria de Hertfordshier. El objetivo de la misma fue conocer mejor la forma de trabajar de esta escuela que, con las mismas características del resto, ha conseguido desarrollar su propio modelo de desarrollo escolar a través de una visión de los alumnos y del aprendizaje, del currículum y de la pedagogía, que difiere de la fomentada por el programa de estándares, y que ofrece un enfoque radicalmente diferente a la distribución del liderazgo, poder, control y responsabilidades. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Creating Learning Without Limits 0.52. Book.

Bolsillo. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Esta obra narra cómo un centro escolar de primaria trabajó para construir un espacio de aprendizaje inclusivo, humano y capacitador; un lugar libre de prejuicios y determinismos acerca de las capacidades humanas y de limitaciones en las posibilidades de aprendizaje. Mientras que el interés por prevenir la desigualdad de oportunidades se suele aceptar sin mayores dificultades, si desvelamos el aparato conceptual utilizado para formular este interés, podemos ver que con demasiada frecuancia perpetúa creencias profundamente restrictivas sobre las capacidades y el potencial de cada persona. Las autoras describen cómo en unos pocos años una escuela se convirtió en una próspera comunidad con distintas vías de aprendizaje, de contenidos y estrategias didácticas que se materializaron en cada aspecto de la vida cotidiana en el centro y en las aulas. En esta propuesta se ofrecen argumentos muy sólidos acerca de las posibilidades de generar aprendizajes sin limitaciones. No se trata de la celebración del éxito de una escuela, sino de poner de manifiesto la lucha y las dificultades con las que se enfrentó el profesorado para reajustar principios del aprendizaje y concepciones pedagógicas para compartir y hacer realidad valores de inclusión, de justicia social y educación democrática. También se hace un análisis detallado de cómo desde la dirección del colegio se aprovechó el capital profesional del conjunto del profesorado y se potenció el cambio basado en una filosofía y acción colectiva. Llegará a ser, sin duda, uno de los libros de educación importantes de esta década, por su capacidad para generar optimismo en la comunidad escolar, para asumir que las cosas pueden cambiar para mejor, que sí se puede. Nuestra capacidad de respuesta, tanto individual como colectiva, a este tipo de ideas y mensajes ilusionantes afectará profundamente en los próximos años no sólo a la calidad de nuestras escuelas, sino también de nuestra sociedad.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - ''Creating Learning without Limits' takes on one of the most important issues in education today. In the last decade schools in England have taken a path towards putting all children into boxes, attaching a level to their heads and deciding what they are capable of achieving. This book shows the possibility of a different educational path, one in which all students are encouraged to achieve the greatest they can. Importantly the book also documents ways in which courageous teachers can do this - promoting fair and engaging learning environments for all students. This is a must-read for educators, policy makers and parents alike.'Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education, Stanford University, California. Formerly a teacher and researcher at the Universities of London and Sussex. 'This will undoubtedly turn out to be amongst the most important educational books of the decade. Our capacity to respond, both individually and collectively, to its key insights and messages will profoundly affect not just the quality of our schools, but of our society for years to come.Engagingly and eloquently written, it exposes the intellectual bankruptcy and human destructiveness of widely held concepts of 'ability' and offers a richly textured, practical account of how one school moved from 'failure' to OfSTED 'outstanding' by committing itself to the practicability of a morally inspiring, educationally convincing alternative.If you want to know why 'the standards agenda' must inevitably fail and what we might do instead, read this book.'Professor Michael Fielding, Institute of Education, University of London, UK'This is an inspiring and reviving book. It reminds us why people come into education - to make a difference for children. To make a deep difference we have to organize education differently. It describes a school that vibrates with learning in an atmosphere of deep humanity and care. Its practices are light years away from the measuring, labelling, targeting, and testing structures that have become our recent national norm. The school as a whole community transforms people.'Anne Watson, Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Oxford, UK'This book provides a grounded demonstration of the importance of educational principles, the most important of which is the understanding that each child's potential for learning is limitless. The authors describe new school and classroom practices through which learning can be transformed. Their argument has influenced government thinking on the review of the National Curriculum in England. I urge you to let it influence your thinking too!'Professor Andrew Pollard, Institute of Education, University of London, UK'This is a brilliant study of a small and very successful primary school in Hertfordshire where the teachers have rejected ideas of fixed innate ability and believe instead in the limitless potential of all young people. At a time when the Ofsted inspection process employs dubious and limited notions of 'standards' and 'achievement', it would be good to think that there could be many more schools like this one showing the way towards a new and liberating view of human development. The book deserves a really wide readership.'Professor Clyde Chitty, Institute of Education, University of London, UK'This book is slim in size but hefty in significance. It tells the story of a school driven by ambition, hope and the self-confidence that comes from a profound faith in the capacity of every child to be a passionate and engaged learner. This in the face of powerful and societally dominant messages that explicitly or more insidiously tell a different and more deterministic tale: that children (and schools) are fit and proper subjects for classification, measurement and management. And there's more - the careful scholarship on which this story is based prevents this book from being merely a descript.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book tells the story of how one primary school community worked to build a learning environment that is inclusive, humane and enabling for everybody, a place free from the damaging effects of fixed ability thinking and practices. Drawing on compelling accounts of everyday life in the school, it describes how, in just a few years, the school (once in special measures) grew into a thriving community, with distinctive views of learning, curriculum and pedagogy, monitoring and accountability that found expression in every aspect of school life.The work of the school community was guided by the findings of a previous project, 'Learning without Limits' (Hart, Dixon, Drummond and McIntyre 2004), an empirical study of the classroom practice of individual teachers who had rejected the concept of fixed ability. 'Creating Learning without Limits' explores what becomes possible when the same ideas and principles are used creatively to guide and inspire whole school improvement. This book is not simply a celebration of the success of the school; it engages with the struggles and difficulties encountered by the staff as they set about learning to reshape pedagogy and curriculum by reference to their shared values of inclusion, social justice and human educability. It gives a detailed analysis of how the headteacher harnessed the power of collective action.The insights generated by this study have enduring relevance and applicability to people in other contexts - for staff groups craving for more equitable school improvement; for individual teachers wondering how best to foster children's learning capacity; for school leaders and teacher educators who find their values increasingly compromised."'Creating Learning without Limits' takes on one of the most important issues in education today.
