Schools do amazing work to support children from disadvantaged
backgrounds. But this book will enable them to do more.
Disadvantage comes in many forms - one being cultural poverty,
where some students have relative knowledge gaps compared to their
more affluent peers.The Working Classroomexplores how working-class
students are disadvantaged by a flawed system and what we can do to
close the gap. The book examines how and why we must seek systemic
changes but focuses on actions within the control of teachers and
school leaders which will ensure that we create a socially just
education system - one that builds on the rich heritage of the
working class, rather than seeing that background as a weakness. It
offers practical ways of enabling students and families to
appreciate their strengths, building on the best of working-class
culture whilst also empowering teachers, students and parents to
change the system. Backed up by practical case studies that have a
proven impact in schools with high levels of deprivation, The
Working Classroomwill enable teachers to audit their current
provision and encourage them to adopt new systems and practices so
that they, and the wider school, will have a greater impact on the
lives of working-class students and their families. Suitable for
both teachers and leaders in a secondary school or sixth form
college setting who seek to support social change in education and
anyone in the corporate or non-education world who wants to
practice effective altruism or philanthropy.
