Exclusion rates of black children in the UK and around the world
continue to rise, highlighting that something is very wrong with
the way their teaching and learning is supported in today's
schools. Teachers often blame parents, parents blame teachers, and
an unhappy downward spiral ensues.
Drawing on her extensive teaching experience, Lorna Cork explores
the day-to-day needs and expectations of black parents and their
children in education. She focuses on contemporary situations and
uses real-life case studies to emphasize the human consequences of
the true issues behind the statistics.
This topical text offers a detailed look at five key organizations
that exist to support black parents. It examines their home-school
interventions and discusses the central issues arising out of their
efforts. The fascinating evidence offers fresh perspectives on
home-school interventions, providing much needed advice and
guidance to all those seeking to improve co-operation between black
families, schools and communities, who all share the goal of
supporting the learning and attainment of the black child. Above
all constructive in tone, examples of good practice and strategies
that have been tried and tested are all provided here, as well as
suggestions for further reading and additional sources of support.
Any education professional; teacher, student teacher or staff at an
LEA, in addition to anyone with a serious interest in race issues,
