EBOOK Rethinking Secondary Education
Opis
A Human-Centred Approach
In this age of new academies, free schools and a general atmosphere of breaking loose from the constraints of Local Authority control and the National Curriculum, the opportunity to explore new alternatives to mainstream education, methods of teaching and the curriculum, has never been greater. In response to these issues, Gill and Thomson have written a new, cutting-edge text aimed at all those involved in the study of education or teacher training, that explores, debates and critiques new and alternative approaches to teaching young people today. The book discusses a human-centred approach to curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and the culture of schools and colleges. The book is grounded in theory and empirical research, discussing the need for a curriculum for the future, bridging a gap between mainstream and alternative education. The book also offers practical guidance on how these ideas can be put into practice, making it an ideal resource for trainee teachers, experienced practitioners and students of education alike.
