Risky Secondary Schooling Business

Activism for Schooling Engagement

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Secondary schooling is a risky business for many disadvantaged young people. In this research, 'risk' of early school leaving and 'risk' of non-engagement in learning in public secondary schools was amplified by: (1) a competitive schooling marketplace; (2) alienating school cultural geographies; and (3) non-inclusive teacher pedagogies. Turning around early school leaving and improving learning engagement for disadvantaged young people requires a new education system commitment to young people. This must involve: (1) nuanced professional support for teachers working with disadvantaged students; (2) redesign of the 'grammars' of conventional secondary schooling away from their historical industrial forms, guided by a culture of inquiry informing how; (3) the project of schooling can be relationally and pedagogically attuned to the lifeworlds' of young people. Without inclusive secondary schooling reform of this nature, disadvantaged students will continue to leave schools, falling or failing into the under-resourced schooling alternatives developed in this research.

Autorenporträt

Ao longo da minha carreira educativa, fui obrigado a redesenhar escolas para jovens desfavorecidos "privados de direitos de escolaridade"; pesquisar políticas, práticas e reformas socialmente justas no seio das comunidades escolares. Trago a esta investigação a investigação de acção crítica e o método etnográfico, o activismo de professores em primeiro plano para a justiça escolar.
