Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on long-term case studies of four primary schools located in these communities, this book describes the difference between what is commonly practiced and those practices that have a greater chance of supporting young people's literacy learning. This book aims to provide an explanatory account of these complex schooling contexts and the policy logics under which they operate.
