This state-of-the-art, comprehensive Handbook fully explores the
field of alternative education on an international scale.
Alternatives to mainstream schooling and education are becoming
increasingly recognised as pertinent and urgent for better
understanding what really works in successfully educating children
and adults today, especially in light of the increased performance
driven and managerially organised economic modelling of education
that dominates. For too long we have wondered what "exactly"
education done otherwise might look like and here we meet
individual examples as well as seeing what alternative education is
when a collection becomes greater than the sum of parts. The
Handbook profiles numerous empirical examples from around the world
of education being done in innovative and excitingly democratic and
autonomous ways from Forest Schools and Home Education through to
new technologies, neuroscience and the importance of solitude. The
book also sets out important theoretical perspectives to inform us
why seeing education through an alternative lens is useful as well
as urgently needed. Global in its perspective and definitive in
content, this one-stop volume will be an indispensable reference
resource for a wide range of academics, students and researchers in
the fields of Education, Education Policy, Sociology and Philosophy
as well as educational practitioners.
