A Good Education A New Model of Learning to Enrich Every Child

Description

This book provides an answer to one of the key questions of our time: namely what constitutes a good education. Presenting a ‘four-dimensional’ model it directly considers the essential elements a good education should include. Through forging this framework and outlaying its origins implications and practice the book explains how a good contemporary education can be defined and implemented. From the premise that such educational essentials are neither the preserve of the elite nor a minimum standard White's exploration keeps the child at the heart of the discussion focusing on every pupil's worth identity interactions and development. The author offers a detailed and rigorous perspective reflecting on extensive professional experience starting with a consideration of the current educational climate and progressing through the book's three parts: looking for a good education creating a model of good education applications implications and implementation of the model. A Good Education recognises the transformative power of education and reflects on the importance of human factors: teachers' provision for their pupils and students' ability to flourish. This book is addressed to those actively engaged in or concerned about educational provision: graduates entering teaching school leaders policy-makers and parents. It also speaks more broadly to all those who know that a good education really matters. | A Good Education A New Model of Learning to Enrich Every Child
