Book Synopsis The Pastoral and the Academic by : Sally Power
Download or read book The Pastoral and the Academic written by Sally Power and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widespread changes in secondary schools over the last thirty years has been the expansion and formalization of pastoral care. However, despite the considerable personnel resources invested in it, this tends to be a neglected area of curriculum theory and research. Through an empirically based analysis of pastoral care in the comprehensive school, this book looks at the history and discourse of pastoral care. Using data from two case-study schools, it explores the tense relationship between the pastoral and academic dimensions, and the significance of this tension for the educational identities of staff and pupils. In particular, it considers whether pastoral interventions empower students or represent more subtle forms of social control. In conclusion, the implications of recent reforms for the future of pastoral care within the comprehensive school are assessed.

Book Synopsis Guidance and the Changing Curriculum by : W. P. Gothard
Download or read book Guidance and the Changing Curriculum written by W. P. Gothard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987. This book examines the growth of pastoral care and the pastoral curriculum, and innovations in vocational education in schools. These two major developments are considered in relation to the guidance and counselling movement whose impact on education over the preceding twenty-five years was considerable. The concept of person-centred learning grew out of this movement and with it many of the liberalising changes in education. This is a fascinating look at this area from a time when the whole nature and direction of schooling in the UK was about to change.

Book Synopsis Leading on Pastoral Care by : Daniel Sobel
Download or read book Leading on Pastoral Care written by Daniel Sobel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leading expert in the field of inclusion, Leading on Pastoral Care assists leaders and SENCOs in primary and secondary schools in managing the most difficult aspects of providing effective pastoral care, such as paperwork, time, confrontational parents and Ofsted. 'Sobel writes in an engaging style that reflects his commitment to supporting schools in developing effective strategies to deal with emotional trauma and complex needs.... This is an excellent book.' SEN Magazine Drawing on research and his extensive experience in leading a team that has worked with over 1,000 schools, Daniel Sobel presents tried-and-tested strategies, tools and tips to support the welfare of and improve outcomes for the most challenged and vulnerable students, all backed by case studies and real-life examples. Pastoral care – being responsible for the welfare and progress of all students, particularly the most vulnerable – is an essential part of any leadership or SENCO role. However, one of the most significant challenges in providing such care is being able to manage resources as well as staff, students, parents and external agencies, especially when time and money are scarce. It is all too easy for schools to expend time and money to support their most vulnerable students, but there are many solutions that can be put into practice to provide the best pastoral care as efficiently and effectively as possible. This book is essential reading for all primary and secondary middle leaders, senior leaders and SENCOs who wish to provide the best support possible for their most vulnerable students, all while reducing pressure, stress and workload for themselves and their staff.
Book Synopsis New Directions in Educational Leadership by : Paul Harling
Download or read book New Directions in Educational Leadership written by Paul Harling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. The argument of this book is that the preceding 12 to 15 years saw significant changes in educationalists’ understanding and application of the concepts of leadership, and because of these changes two things happened. One, the relationship between participants changed; and two, policy and practice also changed. The papers in this collection have been specially commissioned or collected together with this thesis in mind. Each of them examines leadership with special reference to one or more aspects, sectors, roles or interests within the educational system of England and Wales.
Book Synopsis Curriculum and the Teacher by : Nigel Norris
Download or read book Curriculum and the Teacher written by Nigel Norris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though the curriculum can be tightly specified and controlled by strong accountability mechanisms, it is teachers who decisively shape the educational experiences of children and young people at school. Bringing together seminal papers from the Cambridge Journal of Education around the theme of curriculum and the teacher, this book explores the changing conceptions of curriculum and teaching and the changing role of the teacher in curriculum development and delivery. The book is organised around three major themes: Taking its lead from Lawrence Stenhouse, Part One looks at ‘defining the curriculum problem’ from a variety of perspectives and includes papers from some of the most influential curriculum theorists over the last thirty years. Part Two explores the framing of new orders of educational experience. It has papers from leading educational thinkers who have contributed to debates about how to make education more inclusive, humane, liberating, creative and educational. Part Three is focused on teachers and teaching. It offers a selection of papers from significant scholars in the field reflecting on the experience of teaching and how it is personally as well as socially constructed and theorised. The papers are drawn from important and eventful periods of educational history spanning the curriculum reform movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the present age of surveillance, accountability and control. A specially written Introduction contextualises the papers. Part of the Routledge Education Heritage series, Curriculum and the Teacher presents landmark texts from the Cambridge Journal of Education, offering a wealth of material for students and researchers in education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behaviour problems" in our schools occupy a considerable part of the education agenda and media attention.

In this book, Slee proposes a critical re-examination of the school discipline issue. In doing so, he provides an overview of policy change; an examination of the major schools of thought on student discipline; a reconsideration of the context in which young people, teachers and schools now find themselves; and practical responses for addressing all levels of discipline policy making.

Book Synopsis Class, Culture and the Curriculum by : Denis Lawton
Download or read book Class, Culture and the Curriculum written by Denis Lawton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often argued that education is concerned with the transmission of middle-class values and that this explains the relative educational failure of the working class. Consequently, distinctive culture needs a different kind of education. This volume examines this claim and the wider question of culture in British society. It analyses cultural differences from a social historical viewpoint and considers the views of those applying the sociology of knowledge to educational problems. The author recognizes the pervasive sub-cultural differences in British society but maintains that education should ideally transmit knowledge which is relatively class-free. Curriculum is defined as a selection from the culture of a society and this selection should be appropriate for all children. The proposed solution is a common culture curriculum and the author discusses three schools which are attempting to put the theory of such curriculum into practice. This study is an incisive analysis of the relationships between class, education and culture and also a clear exposition of the issues and pressures in developing a common culture curriculum.
Book Synopsis Without Benefit of Clergy by : Karin E. Gedge
Download or read book Without Benefit of Clergy written by Karin E. Gedge and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common view of the nineteenth-century pastoral relationship--found in both contemporary popular accounts and 20th-century scholarship--was that women and clergymen formed a natural alliance and enjoyed a particular influence over each other. In Without Benefit of Clergy, Karin Gedge tests this thesis by examining the pastoral relationship from the perspective of the minister, the female parishioner, and the larger culture. The question that troubled religious women seeking counsel, says Gedge, was: would their minister respect them, help them, honor them? Surprisingly, she finds, the answer was frequently negative. Gedge supports her conclusion with evidence from a wide range of previously untapped primary sources including pastoral manuals, seminary students' and pastors' journals, women's diaries and letters, pamphlets, sentimental and sensational novels, and The Scarlet Letter.
