Social Justice Re-Examined
Dilemmas and solutions for the classroom teacher
UPDATED AND EXPANDED EDITION Teachers want to do their best for every child, but worry about causing offence and often shy away from troublesome issues. The classroom situations and strategies presented here will help teachers negotiate their way through complex situations and bring about constructive change. This book clarifies concepts and value differences and the subtle ways in which inequality often works. Theoretical as well as practical, these chapters look from inside out from the perspective of the teacher. They cover a wide range of issues: race, gender, poverty and class, sexuality, religion, English as an Additional Language, Islamophobia, Traveller children and ADHD. The book is essential reading for student teachers, early career teachers and teacher educators, but will also be invaluable for experienced teachers as they navigate their work in an increasingly diverse society.

Reframing Space for Learning
Excellence and innovation in university teaching
The concept and use of 'space' in higher education influence students and teachers deeply.

Innovative approaches in a range of HE disciplines are presented in the work of 40 experienced university teachers.
Educational Inequality
Closing the gap
This research shows how schools in one diverse and disadvantaged inner-city local authority have raised children’s attainment to levels that far surpass the national average at KS 2 and GCSE: gifted leadership, targeted interventions, effective teachers who mirror the school’s intake, and governor, parent and community involvement = Outstanding.
Learning for a Co-operative World
Education, social change and the Co-operative College
Learning for a Co-operative World explores the remarkable growth of co-operative education in formal and informal learning, and its future potential for all ages and in diverse settings.

Diversity in Teacher Education
Perspectives on a school-led system
Informed by large-scale quantitative research and smaller-scale qualitative studies, Diversity in Teacher Education reveals a growing complexity in the system of teacher education in England. It finds that responsibility for educating teachers has moved away from universities, while schools have become major players.
Struggles for Empowerment
Higher education stories from East and West
A unique account of students from poor rural provinces in Pakistan and the Republic of Ireland who struggle to access graduate studies.
