Because of You, This is MeJAZ AMPAW-FARRGrowing up in poverty, and neglected and abused by her own parents, Jaz Ampaw-Farr was destined to become a statistic. Her story was changed, however, by a handful of teachers who made the point of putting human connection first – despite the challenges of the education system. Because of these people, Jaz went on to become a teacher, writer and international speaker who, through celebration and provocation, engages and galvanises educators into embracing the difference that they can make when they put being a human first too. In Because Of You, This is Me Jaz shares her story - often harrowing but always uplifting – to show the ways in which the everyday heroes in our schools can empower those children who need their help the most.

CURRICULUMReclaiming the Curriculum: Specialist and Creative Teaching in Primary SchoolsBILL LAAR AND JACKIE HOLDERNESSA significant number of primary schools believe that their fate and reputation are dependent on data-driven inspections that take little account of the totality of the education they provide - and who could blame them? Because of this, many schools sacrifice an emphasis on the broad curriculum in the interests of a more narrow focus on English and maths.The authors redress the balance and present a cornucopia of case-study examples from schools who are bucking this trend by providing their pupils with specialist content that transcends the core curriculum. The book features a diverse variety of school initiatives - ranging from computer programming classes to school-wide renewable projects - and paints a vivid picture of how the provision of such enriching activities can be made compatible with the school’s educational programme.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHYEnding Zero Tolerance: The Crisis of Absolute School DisciplineDEREK W BLACKIn the era of zero tolerance, we are flooded with stories about schools issuing draconian punishments for relatively innocent behavior. The effects of these policies are devastating. Just one suspension in the ninth grade doubles the likelihood that a student will drop out. Fifty percent of students who drop out are subsequently unemployed. Eighty percent of prisoners are high school drop outs. The risks associated with suspension and expulsion are so high that, as a practical matter, they amount to educational death penalties, not behavioral correction tools. Most important, punitive discipline policies undermine the quality of education that innocent bystanders receive as well - the exact opposite of what schools intend. Families, Law, and Society.
