Rezensionen

"Classics at Primary School is an engaging and accessible read that has something to offer all educators, classics or not, who are interested in teaching for social justice or adopting a more culturally responsive approach. The author's demonstrated use of effective self-reflection, her argument for how classical languages have a place in social justice activism, and her detailed practical guide for creating transformative learning experiences within classics programmes are important contributions to the professional fields of classics and education." - Jessica Richardi, LSE

"Classics at Primary School compiles many of the best approaches to inclusive classroom teaching and makes them applicable for the classics teacher... The book exposes readers to the very real connection between classics and social justice and also provides teachers the necessary tools to reflect on their own pedagogy. The book is a must read for both novice and experienced teachers who wish to take steps towards a more inclusive classical education." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"This is a book which should be read not only by those of us already committed to promoting Classics but also by practitioners, senior leaders and administrators who are not specialists but who may find here a radical way of revising their school programmes and curriculum to develop the cultural capital of their more disadvantaged children." - Euroclassica

"This book is particularly helpful to any stakeholders within primary education who are currently teaching Classics in some way, and for those who are interested in introducing the subject to their primary school classes." - Journal of Classics Teaching
