Detailed accounts of two influential initiatives of the 1990s,
whose educational and political lessons remain highly relevant:
systemic and pedagogic reform in one of Britain's largest cities,
and the controversialthree wise men government enquiry into primary
teaching to which it led. Alexander's controversial and widely-read
report on primary education in Leeds has now been revised as a
major study of policy initiatives in primary education and their
impact on practice. The book examines an ambitious programme of
local reform aimed at improving teaching and learning in the
primary schools of one of Britain's largest cities. It addresses
important questions about children's needs, the curriculum,
classroom practice and school management. When first published,
Robin Alexander's report was hailed as `seminal' and `the most
important document since Plowden' but it was also quoted and
misquoted in support of widely opposed political and media agendas.
This new edition retains Part I from the first edition, detailing
the impact of Leeds LEA's programme for educational reform.
However, it also provides a totally new and greatly extended Part
II, which gives an insider's account of the sequel to the Leeds
report - the government's 1992 'three wise men' report. There is
also a new introduction.
