The definitive guide to raising boys' achievement in secondary
schools by leading expert Gary Wilson. What better way to raise
boys' achievement than to hear the issues from the students
themselves? Let's Hear It from the Boys encourages readers to take
matters into their own hands and listen to the boys in their
school. Gary Wilson offers tips to help start a conversation with
boys, and guides secondary teachers in placing the needs of boys
firmly on the whole-school agenda. It's a well-known fact that
girls outperform boys across every stage of the UK education
system. Of the boys who underachieve, white working-class boys are
consistently in last place. In this unique practical guide to
raising boys' achievement in secondary settings, Gary lets the
students do the talking through real-life testimonies. Tackling
various aspects of learning in the secondary classroom, from exams,
essay-writing and academic setting to punishments and rewards, this
book offers a fresh perspective on boys' experiences of education,
helping teachers to understand the various reasons why boys may
underachieve and how teachers can tackle this. Complete with expert
advice and practical strategies, it will spark new ideas in
teachers and school leaders to support boys in their settings and
create the best learning environment for all students.
This book examines the extent to which Brexit has impacted upon the
operation of the British constitution, prompting in turn
consideration of how some of the factors which contributed towards
the outcome of the 2016 referendum, as well as the event of Brexit
itself, might inform debates surrounding constitutional reform
moving forward. The work seeks to make sense of the constitutional
implications of Brexit and to revisit some of the key debates to
have taken place in respect of particular constitutional reform
proposals in order to assess the extent to which recent Brexit
related developments inform the perspectives which are taken upon
their merits and prospects. The book is divided into two parts. The
first provides some context for the substantive treatment of the
potential impact of Brexit on constitutional reform debates which
is to be found in part two. Part two centres on various specific
constitutional reform themes or issues, which are explored further
within the context of Brexit. For each such issue, the main
parameters of the debates which have taken place are sketched out
before moving on to consider how it has informed, or may come to be
informed, by the phenomenon of Brexit. By so doing, it looks to
some future directions for constitutional reform which take account
of the factors driving the discourses which gave rise to the
referendum outcome and subsequent developments, as well as offering
meaningful responses to these. The book will be of interest to
academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of
constitutional law, constitutional politics, philosophy and
history.
The role of the United Nations in collective security has been
evolving since its inception in 1945. This book explores collective
security as practiced within the legal framework provided by the
United Nations Charter, with a particular focus upon activity
undertaken under the auspices of the UN Security Council, the body
conferred by the Charter with the primary responsibility for the
maintenance of international peace and security. Although the book
is primarily grounded in international law, where appropriate it
also draws upon relevant political insights in order to present a
clear picture of the UN collective security system in operation and
the factors which impact upon the way in which it functions.
Offering a comprehensive analysis it considers the full range of
measures which can be utilised by the UN in the performance of its
collective security remit including military enforcement action,
peacekeeping, non-military sanctions and diplomacy. The book
considers each of these measures in detail, assessing the legal
framework applicable to the form of action, the main legal
controversies which arise in respect of their appropriate
utilisation, and the UN's use of this collective security 'tool' in
practice. The book draws conclusions about the main strengths and
shortcomings of the various means through which the UN can attempt
to prevent, minimise or end conflict.

Based on sound research and experience by leading author Gary
Wilson, this Pocket PAL provides and introduction to why boys
underachieve along with a practical toolkit of proven strategies to
help raise boys' attainment across all age boundaries, enabling
every teacher, department, key stage or school to identify the
problems and plan a way forward.
The problem of boys' underachievement is an issue across the entire
developed world and has presented teachers and early years
practitioners with challenges as well as opportunities. Only in
Scandinavia do boys achieve at roughly the same rate as girls and
there they don't start school formally until they are seven. The
underachievement of boys continues to be high on the government
agenda. For many boys in this country and elsewhere, the demands
made upon them in the Early Years to read and write, before they
are emotionally and physically ready to do so, can give many an
early taste of failure from which many of them never fully recover.
This book will address the issues that impact on achievement.
Educators have for many years sought to understand why boys
underperform in schools and what can be done about it. In Breaking
through barriers to boys' achievement, Gary Wilson provides the
full picture as to why boys of all ages underachieve and what can
be done to start solving the problem. He presents the 28 barriers
to boys' learning, including early language development, 'laddish'
culture and lack of male role models. His emphasis is very much on
turning out respectable young men who have a 'caring masculinity'.
This revised and updated second edition includes new case studies,

through barriers to boys' achievement provides a practical toolkit
that will enable every teacher, department, key stage or school to

This highly practical book contains strong messages about the need
to develop independence in boys, the importance of male role models
within the close (and extended) family and what to look out for in
school, including signs of peer pressure and limiting negative self
beliefs. It gives advice on how best to support boys in their
learning and in developing self esteem.At least once a year, around
the time of examination results, the papers are full of stories of
how boys are underachieving in comparison to girls. While arousing
the curiosity, and often deeply troubling the parents of boys, the
press, and indeed the government, rarely offers more than the
'laddish culture' or 'anti social behaviour' as the root cause.
Parents deserve and need to know the full range of reasons why boys
are underachieving and, fundamentally, what they can do to help
prevent disaffection and underachievement in their boys.Help your
