About this title

Synopsis

For many years, education reform has been imposed on teachers in many parts of the world. Overload, burnout, demoralization, poor implementation and a rush for early retirement has been the result. This text discusses the need for positive educational change, with teachers in the vanguard of it, rather than making them its marginalized victims. The authors interpretation of positive educational change means strong emphases on professional development, ensuring that every school and department becomes a strong professional community; valuing, not vilifying educational research; putting teachers in charge of standards and change; giving schools more flexibility over curriculum and assessment, not less; and regarding our educational past as something to be built upon, not castigated and forgotten. The writers identify new doctrines for implentation in England, Australia, North America and Japan.

Review

"...an urgent read for all those concerned with the direction of education, and provides a glimmer of hope for the emergence of a strong, independent and self confident profession." - CPD Update "I liked this book; I read it with pleasure and indeed excitement in a single sitting." - Eera Bulletin "If schools still fund in-house professional sections in their school libraries, then this book certainly would be worth adding to those shelves" - Improving Schools "...enables teachers to describe and understand the policy process which they have been living through." - Educational Management & Administration "...excellent...a thought-provokingbook, and I can recommend it to anyone concerned with a better understanding of educational reform and the future role of the teaching profession in this." - British Journal of Educational Studies

Store Description

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
