In this introduction to educational policy, practice and
professionalism, the authors focus first on providing an historical
overview of English policy from the state's first interventions in
education through to Thatcherism and the election of the Blair
government. Chapters then explore the key contemporary policies of
recent times and offer a critique on how they have worked in
practice, with reference the hysteria that often surrounds
education policy. An important theme is media representation of
educational matters and the effects this has on the teaching
profession. Commentaries and case studies are presented throughout
providing an accessible link to what it was really like to learn,
teach and live at the time the policy was in place. This new
edition now includes: - an account of the measures taken by the
Coalition Government of 2010-15, examining the Coalition's
continuities with the previous administration whilst also exploring
departures from previous thinking and practices; - updated
references and case studies throughout to represent new research
and legislation since the first edition; - an extended discussion
of globalization and global 'policy borrowing'; - further coverage
of social justice theory, including a perspective on identity
theory and the role of education in the development of identity and
the marginalisation of individuals and groups; - a new historical
chapter covering the period 1945 to 1997; - a summary of the
development of the curriculum and a critique of the 2014 National
curriculum, as pioneered by Michael Gove; and - a new conclusion
setting out the trajectory of current policies and how this may
affect educational practitioners. This is essential reading for all
undergraduate students studying education policy and practice.
