Positive Alternatives to Exclusion (Paperback, New): Paul Cooper, Mary Jane Drummond, Susan Hart, Jane Lovey, Colleen McLaughlin Positive Alternatives to Exclusion (Paperback, New)

R1,319 Discovery Miles 13 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

School exclusion is becoming increasingly viewed as being out-dated and misguided and almost all practitioners and leaders are committed in inclusion. However, many schools aiming for full inclusion can find it difficult "not" to "exclude" some students. This book shows teachers and managers how five schools have successfully implemented policy and practice to avoid excluding any students. Based around five in-depth case studies (four secondary and one primary), the book describes positive strategies for preventing children from being excluded. The book begins with a look at different definitions and levels of school exclusion, identifies the different reasons for exclusion and the individuals and groups who tend to suffer most from being excluded. The editors go on to specify positive alternatives to the issue of school exclusion. The book is based upon a major research project undertaken at the School of Education, University of Cambridge. It includes detailed case studies from both the primary and secondary sector.

Positive Alternatives to School Exclusion looks at what schools can do to build more harmonious communities and engage students - particularly those at risk of exclusion - more productively in all areas of school life. It describes the Positive Alternatives to School Exclusion Project, a multi-phase, collaborative initiative based at the School of Education, University of Cambridge.Drawing on the perspectives of staff and pupils, the authors provide detailed case studies of the approaches and strategies being adopted in a variety of settings (primary, secondary and FE) to foster inclusion and reduce and prevent exclusion. It also identifies a number of different frameworks, drawn from the case studies, which can be used by practitioners working in other settings to support their own reflection and development work. Particular importance is placed, throughout the book, on valuing the domain of personal experience in the life of the school community. The authors explore this theme in detail, suggesting ways in which it might become a priority focus of further development work in schools.

Implementing Educational Reform - Cases and Challenges (Hardcover): Colleen McLaughlin, Alan Ruby Implementing Educational Reform - Cases and Challenges (Hardcover)
Colleen McLaughlin, Alan Ruby
R2,849 Discovery Miles 28 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

There is constant pressure on governments and policy makers to raise the standard of education, and to develop appropriate curriculum and pedagogies for students. It is no easy task. This book presents eight specific case studies of education reform implementation which capture how the design and implementation choices of policy makers are shaped by national and historical contexts. They offer real examples of the choices and constraints faced by policymakers and practitioners. The cases are a mix of nationally and locally mandated reforms with five examples from nations where the state initiated and guided reforms. The concluding synthesis chapter highlights commonalities and differences across the cases and disparate responses to shared concerns. Providing a breadth of real-world research, it will assist policy makers, practitioners and other stakeholders interested in system change.

Comprising a sample of eight schools in three sub-Saharan African countries--Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania--this compelling study examines the sources, contents, and processes of children's community-based sexual knowledge, questioning how their awareness falls in line with their school's AIDS education programs. The examination showcases the possibilities of consulting pupils using engaging, interactive, and visual methods, including digital still photography, mini video documentaries, interviews, and observations. These innovative means allow children to speak freely and openly in an environment where discussing sex with adults remains a cultural taboo. The study also sheds fresh light on teachers' fears and struggles with a lack of training and limited opportunities for reflection on practice. Engaging in dialogue with conflicting voices of community stakeholders, this valuable discussion reveals them as aware of the dangers faced by children living in a world with AIDS as well as afraid of the many cultural, religious, and moral restraints surrounding sex education in Africa.
