Good School, Bad School
Questions about the quality of schooling have dominated the political agenda for much of the past decade. As a direct result new policies have been introduced involving more performance indicators, league tables of exam results, more frequent inspection and the closure of 'failing' schools. Studies of school effectiveness and school improvement have much to contribute to these questions. Drawing on the latest research, John Gray and Brian Wilcox take a fresh and critical look at some of the reforms. How can one ensure that a broader view of what education is about is retained in the face of narrow performance indicators? What contribution can value-added approaches make to ensuring that schools in disadvantaged areas are judged more fairly? How sound are inspection procedures? What happens after a school has been inspected? How much do schools actually improve over time? And what prospects are there for turning round 'failing' schools rather than simply closing them?
The Powers of Literacy (RLE Edu I)
Literacy remains a contentious and polarized educational, media and political issue. What has emerged from the continuing debate is a recognition that literacy in education is allied closely with matters of language and culture, ideology and discourse, knowledge and power. Drawing perspectives variously from critical social theory and cultural studies, poststructuralism and feminisms, sociolinguistics and the ethnography of communication, social history and comparative education, the contributors begin a critical interrogation of taken-for-granted assumptions which have guided educational policy, research and practice.
Prose and Poetry of Brian Gray
Where have all the years gone? It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting in my classroom back at Academy in Erie, Pennsylvania. The year was 1967, and my English teacher had given us an assignment of writing a poem. It was nearing Christmas, and being such a fanatic fan of everything Christmas back then, I chose that as my theme. I still have that hand-written poem. The teacher gave me a good grade, but I look back at it now, and I think of how trite it was (and that is why it is not in this book, I write, giggling as I re-read it). But, it was a start. For me, it sparked something, a love of how words can form chains of interesting sounds, musical sounds. So it was that I would continue to play with those musical sounds for many years to come. Writing poetry is complex, a wrestling match with forces in the ether to describe things in the ether, and it still has to make music when all is penned to parchment. More than half a century has passed since I sat in that class, and I decided to cull through some of those "wrestling matches" and share with my readers what won.

The Naked Truth
From #1 New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought… Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man crouched down and looking at me like he wanted to eat me alive, was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook. A man who I’d only just begun to move on from. A man who my heart despised—yet my body obviously still had other ideas about. A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy. Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare. Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done. But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client …was there?
