Breaking Barriers to Learning in Primary Schools takes an expert
and informative look at the integrated children's services agenda
in practice in today's primary schools. Examining the ways in which
an increasing number of different professionals help to improve
children's life chances, the author examines the roles of those
employed directly by the schools themselves, for instance Learning
Mentors, HLTAs and Teaching Assistants, and those employed by
health/social and other agencies, such as school nurses,
Educational social workers, study support workers, school
attendance workers and Educational Psychologists.
Through an exploration of how each individual helps break down
barriers to children's learning, this book:
- examines the growth and development of the children's
workforce
- provides a broad and integrated view of the wider school
network
- explores the roles of individuals within the school
workforce
- makes links to Every Child Matters and Extended Schools
initiatives
- provides evidences of breaking down barriers, through
interviews and studies with those working at the heart of
integrated schools
- presents an analysis of recent statistics relating to
children's lives
- gives practical advice for good practice throughout.
An essential text for all those working in education and in
training to become part of this wider school network, this book
takes into account the findings of the recent Primary Reviews,
government data and original research to fully explain how to
build, maintain and successfully work with today's primary
children. It is an excellent text for Foundation Degree students as
well as those studying Education Studies and those training to be
teachers.
