Evaluating Equity and Widening Participation in Higher Education
This collection considers relationships between research and evaluation, and the ethical and moral dilemmas raised when evaluating equity and widening participation in higher education. The framework of praxis the editors have created helps justify government funding towards university-led equity initiatives and ensure appropriate use of resources.
Faith and Experience in Education
Essays from Quaker perspectives
Twelve Quakers describe how the values of love, truth, justice, equality, peace and community can wholly guide educational practice. Their counter-blast to the reduction of teaching to technical skills, and of child development to a series of tests, shows how these values can inspire all British school sectors, Early Years and HE. For all teachers.
Catalyst
An evidence-informed, collaborative professional learning resource for teacher leaders and other leaders working within and across schools
Catalyst is designed to support and promote the change, professional learning and development of groups of teacher leaders, both within and across schools. It consists of two sets of evidence-informed resource cards and a clear and detailed facilitator guide.
Mandarin Chinese Teacher Education

It will be useful for PGCE Mandarin students, teacher trainers and those involved in the development of Mandarin Chinese in schools across the UK and further afield.
Equalities and Inequalities in the English Education System
The aim of this book is to develop a more coherent account of how social categories such as gender, race, dis-ability, intelligence, sexuality and class function in education. This task has the potential to transform our understandings of these matters and hence our educational practices.
