Alternative education caters and cares for students whose regular
schools have failed and excluded them. Fifty years of international
research reports that alternative settings are characterised by
close and powerful staff-student relationships, a curriculum which
is relevant, engaging and meaningful, and the strong sense of
agency afforded young people by the opportunity to make decisions.
Together, these three practices produce increased life chances for
alternative education participants. However, despite these apparent
successes, alternative education seems to have had little impact on
mainstream schools. This collection of papers addresses the
important question - what might regular schools and teachers learn
about socially just pedagogies from alternative education
practices? In providing answers to this question, authors
interrogate the taken-for-granted wisdom about alternative
education while also taking account of ongoing policy shifts,
differing locations and populations, and persistent and
intersecting patterns of raced, classed and gendered inequalities.
They draw on a range of theoretical and methodological approaches
to interrogate the ways in which alternative schools and
alternative education both challenge and legitimate the kinds of
schooling most of us expect for our own and other people's
children. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Critical Studies in Education.
