The What's in it for schools? series aims to make educational
policy issues relevant to practitioners. Each book in the series
focuses on a major educational issue. The authors set the issue in
context, look at how it impacts on the daily lives of schools and
teachers, and raise key questions. The books are grounded in social
theory, recent research evidence and best practice, and will make
an excellent contribution to any staffroom bookshelf. In classrooms
that operate as learning communities, the social and learning
purposes advance together through all participants being involved
and engaged in building knowledge. This is a new way of seeing and
managing classrooms, it offers: * An integration of what's best in
learning and what's best in the social life of classrooms * A
vision of the role of the teacher that is more creative and more
related to the commitments of teachers * A more connected view of
school, in contrast to the mechanistic view that currently
dominates * An answer to the short-term performance pressures of
politicians - better performance. This book presents the practice
and vision of classrooms that operate as learning communities.
engaging without either preaching or patrolling how teachers think.
It is the aim of the book that after reading it any classroom
teacher will feel more able to take steps towards building a more
effective classroom with the aspects of learning communities they
choose.
