This is a book by educators, for educators. It grapples with the
complexities, the humanity and the possibilities in education. In a
climate of competing accountabilities and measurement mechanisms;
corporate solutions to education 'problems'; and narratives of
'failing' schools, 'underperforming' teachers and 'disengaged'
students; this book asks 'What matters?' or 'What should matter?'
in education. Based in the unique Australian context, this book
situates Australian education policy, research and practice within
the international education narrative. It argues that professionals
within schools should be supported, empowered and welcomed into
policy discourse, not dictated to by top-down bureaucracy. It
advocates for a flipping, flattening and democratising of the
education system, in Australia and around the world. Flip the
System Australia: What matters in education brings together the
voices of teachers, school leaders and scholars in order to offer
diverse perspectives, important challenges and hopeful alternatives
to the current education system.
What is possibly the most exquisite single group of psalms - 120 -
134 - describe themselves as 'songs of ascents'. They recall the
journeys of pilgrims from all over the land 'up' to Jerusalem to
keep the feasts of the Lord. And as the people walked, they sang.
God's people today may not make quite such a journey but, as Alec
Motyer contests, in living the Christian life we have all embarked
on a pilgrimage of the heart. The life of faith is to be lived on
the move; through varying terrains but with a single destination -
as we walk with eyes fixed on Jesus. A devotional read to hearten
both weary and sure-footed travellers.
