The Art of Teaching: Experiences of Schools

A central dilemma for teachers is finding ways to deal with the multiple perspectives and demands of pupils, parents, school management, and external forces. The Art of Teaching explores the tension between teaching and learning that all teachers face. Presenting a series of insights into the art of teaching from the perspectives of those individuals most closely involved in the schooling process, the book explores pupil voice in schools, and experiences of teaching and learning from the pupil perspective. Providing an opportunity for self reflection, the book also examines teachers’ relationships with parents, external agencies and their attitudes towards pupils. Subjects covered include: <ul><ul>
<li>What pupils think of teachers </li> <li>Teacher’s views of themselves and self reflection</li> <li>School hierarchies and the ethos of inspection </li> <li>Using pupil insights to inform learning strategies </li> </ul></ul>
Essential reading for all teachers and students, this book offers a unique insight into school relationships and structures, giving readers an awareness of what is like to be a teacher. Professor Cedric Cullingford’s many books include "The Causes of Exclusion" (Taylor and Francis) and "How Pupils Cope with School" (Cambridge Scholar’s Press).

The Best Years of Their Lives?: Pupil's Experiences of School

Based on structured research and interviews with pupils in years 10 and 11 (15 ^DDS 16 years old) about their views of the purpose of school and their own future employment and the way the two connect, this book offers a blistering critique of the purpose of education and its ability to prepare children for the world of work. The issues raised include: the purpose of school, the nature and quality of the curriculum, whether their time was well spent, whether what they learned was relevant, who influenced them, their views of industry and the world outside. Out of the mouths of babes, the truth comes tumbling and the result is a shocking indictment of an educational system that fails to deliver what it sets out to achieve.

Higher & Continuing Education

This text looks at the National Curriculum and the doubts surrounding its introduction and continued use. Doubts have centred on whether there is a "de-professionalizing" of teachers which enhances or devalues standards and whether pupils are making better or worse progress. This book is based on seeking out evidence to show whether these doubts have any foundation. The first three chapters provide a theoretical as well as a factual framework to the rest of the book. Chapters four to six explore pupils' experiences and perceptions of the National Curriculum - What's it really like for them? and has the curriculum enhanced their learning or burdened them with facts? Further chapters explore the relationship between the National Curriculum and disaffected pupils, as well as the teachers' experience and perception of the National Curriculum.
