This inspiring book explores how schools can take greater control of their futures and transform their culture by strengthening voice, participation and the understanding of what it means to be part of a learning community. A wealth of imaginative, practical and sustainable initiatives are included, where teachers are able to openly share and discuss the challenges they face, parents are actively involved and supported, and young people are allowed, and encouraged, to contribute to decisions about their learning. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in how to build robust, dynamic and responsive learningcommunities through positive, bottom-up change.
The aim of this book is to explore how teachers, students and parents can be given more of a say in the education system in how schools are organised, and in what and how children learn. The book does not promote a specific view of education, but considers the means by which educational purposes and approaches can be conceived, agreed and enacted democratically a precursor to a flourishing democratic society.
Rebuilding Our Schools from the Bottom Up
has been written in response to significant changes which have taken place in the education system over the past 30 years. In England at least, these changes have resulted in an increasingly centralised system in which the voices of those who teach, those who learn, and those whose children go to school have been marginalised.
The book covers four main areas:
- Teacher voice: listening to the professionals
- Student voice:
- involving students as active participants in their education
- Parent voice:
- building a genuine homeschool partnership
- School community voice:
- developing a shared vision
With inspiring examples from around the UK and overseas and a range of resources that can be used by senior leaders, teachers and parents, the book aims to encourage and support transformative change so that schools can meet the needs of the communities they exist to serve.
