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 controversial 'three 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.
