How might educational leaders and teachers improve literacy
achievement in schools serving communities experiencing high levels
of poverty? This question is the focus of this book. Drawing on
long-term case studies of four primary schools located in these
communities, this book describes the difference between what is
commonly practiced and those practices that have a greater chance
of supporting young people's literacy learning. In this
multi-layered analysis of the effects of policy on practice, the
authors: discuss global concerns with literacy policy and testing
in view of the growing gaps between rich and poor; examine the
effects of the intensification of inequality and entrenched
poverty, and the implications for schools; illustrate how deficit
discourses pertaining to communities living in poverty are
contested in schools; and describe the complexities of sustaining
pedagogical and curriculum change to address the problem of unequal
educational outcomes in literacy. This book grapples with some of
the most debated questions regarding educational disadvantage,
school change, leadership and literacy pedagogy that face
educational researchers, policy-makers and practitioners
internationally. As well as providing a critique of the risks of
current policy rationales, it conveys some hopeful accounts of
practice that provide leads for further development.
