Improving Learning How to Learn
Learning how to learn is an essential preparation for lifelong learning. While this is widely acknowledged by teachers, they have lacked a rich professional knowledge base from which they can teach their pupils to learn how to learn. This book makes a major contribution by building on previous work associated with ‘assessment for learning’. Improving Learning How to Learn is based on the findings of a major development and research project that explored what teachers can do in their classroom practice to help pupils acquire the knowledge and skills of learning how to learn. This book will be of interest to all those concerned with improving classroom learning and assessment. A practical companion book, Learning How to Learn: Tools for Schools, is also available from Routledge.
Effective LEAs and School Improvement
Effective LEAs and School Improvement examines the ways in which Local Education Authorities can support and challenge schools to raise educational standards. The book includes case studies of effective LEAs and interludes from heads and governors on their experience of working with LEAs. Effective LEAs and School Improvement enables Local Education Authorities to learn from existing good practice and to reflect upon their current situation and plan ahead to meet future demands. It is essential reading for all LEAs concerned with raising educational standards.
Consulting Pupils
Consulting Pupils considers the potential benefits and implications of talking to students about teaching and learning in school, exploring its impact at different levels. Key issues included are: * the importance of engaging young learners in a focused dialogue about learning * the role of pupil consultation in helping schools to develop new directions for improvement * the wider implications of pupil consultation and participation in teaching the principles of citizenship and democracy. Through examples of pupil consultation initiatives in primary and secondary schools, the authors demonstrate how an agenda for change based on pupils' perspectives on teaching and learning can be used to improve classroom practice. Part of the What's In It For Schools series aimed at making educational policy issues relevant to practitioners, this book will be a valuable resource for practitioners, students and researchers interested in exploring pupils' perspectives on teaching and learning.
Ruling by Task Force
"295 individual Task Forces help New Labour to make its policy decisions and yet very few people know anything about them. Ruling by Task Force makes a strong and persuasive case for transparency in this new form of government and is an essential source for every concerned citizen." --Book Jacket.
The Professionals
In this book, Phil Revell takes a hard look at the teaching profession. Where do teachers come from--and why do so many abandon their career after a few years in the job? What kind of teachers do we want in our schools and what kind of profession are today's wannabe teachers entering? Is it a profession at all? Revell writes with clarity of style and an understanding that comes from having worked in schools for nearly twenty years. His analysis will shock some teachers and educationalists, but parents, teachers and policymakers will be struck by the power and the logic of the argument he puts forward. The Professionals is the result of a year's research, during which the author followed the progress of over 50 students through their teacher training and spoke to teachers, teacher trainers, and government agencies. The book will be essential reading for policymakers, teacher educators, and senior management in schools.
Black Flowers
Black flowers for the missing ones mean they're never coming back... As if from nowhere, she appears one day on a seaside promenade, with a black flower and a horrifying story about where she's been.

When Neil Dawson's father commits suicide, he is obviously devastated. But through his grief, Neil knows something isn't right. Among his father's possessions, he finds a copy of an old novel, The Black Flower. Opening it will take Neil into an investigation full of danger, pain and subterfuge. Hannah Price is also mourning her father, having followed his footsteps into the police force. When she gets assigned to Neil's father's case, it will lead her on a journey into her own past and to the heart of a shattering secret.
