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. 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.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."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. I urge you to let it influence your thinking too!"Professor Andrew Pollard, Institute of Education, University of London, UK"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."Barry Hymer, Professor of Psychology in Education, Education Faculty, University of Cumbria, UK"A classic for our time, it should be read by all who seek approaches to teaching and learning that are free from externally imposed views of ability and potential.Professor Lani Florian, School of Education, University of Aberdeen, UK"This book could be the catalyst for the educational change that we are all praying for."Julie Lilly, Head Teacher, UK This book looks at The Wroxham School in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, which has embraced the' Learning without Limits' approach across the whole school.

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.

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. LIBRO.
