Ahead of the Class: How an Inspiring Headmistress Gave Children Back Their Future  download pdf http://dloadbooks.xyz/?book=0719563356 This is the heartening account of how Marie Stubbs and her team transformed St George s School - made notorious by the murder of its headteacher Philip Lawrence into a school praised by Ofsted inspectors. Imagine a school where the staff are too fearful to leave the staffroom at breaktime, where stealing and absenteeism are rife, where vicious fights continually break out in the bleak playground, and children wander the corridors chatting on mobile phones. Now imagine a school where children turn up early to have breakfast and play football in a playground furnished with goalposts and attractive plants; where the corridors are empty and classrooms full during lessons, where classical music plays over the intercom and where pupils welcome visitors such as Lenny Henry, Ralph Fiennes and Cherie Blair to give talks. This is the transformation that Marie Stubbs effected at St George s, an inner-city comprehensive in London s Maida Vale. The school had gone into a decline after the murder of its head, Philip Lawrence, outside the school gates in 1995. When Marie Stubbs took over it was threatened with closure after a damning Ofsted report.St George s pupils had been depicted in the press as demons, but within 15 months this 61-year-old grandmother had given them back their self-respect. Attendance rose, examination results improved and in March 2001 the school received a glowing report from Ofsted. Marie Stubbs s approach combines conviction, imagination, old-fashioned discipline and modern management techniques. The heartwarming story of how she and her chosen task force turned round a school that had lost hope is inspiring.

The Marketisation of Higher Education and the Student as Consumer  download pdf http://dloadbooks.xyz/?book=0415584477 Until recently government policy in the UK has encouraged an expansion of Higher Education to increase participation and with an express aim of creating a more educated workforce. This expansion has led to competition between Higher Education institutions, with students increasingly positioned as consumers and institutions working to improve the extent to which they meet â€˜consumer demandsâ€™. Especially given the latest government funding cuts, the most prevalent outlook in Higher Education today is one of business, forcing institutions to reassess the way they are managed and promoted to ensure maximum efficiency, sales and â€˜profitsâ€™. Students view the opportunity to gain a degree as a right, and a service which they have paid for, demanding a greater choice and a return on their investment. Changes in higher education have been rapid, and there has been little critical research into the implications. This volume brings together internationally comparative academic perspectives, critical accounts and empirical research to explore fully the issues and experiences of education as a commodity, examining:   the international and financial context of marketisation the new purposes of universities  the implications of university branding and promotion  league tables and student surveys vs. quality of education  the higher education market and distance learning  students as â€˜active consumersâ€™ in the co-creation of value  changing student experiences, demands and focus.  With contributions from many of the leading names involved in Higher Education including Ron Barnett, Frank Furedi, Lewis Elton, Roger Brown and also Laurie Taylor in his journalistic guise as an academic at the University of Poppleton, this book will be essential reading for many.

Connecting Leadership and Learning: Principles for Practice  download pdf http://dloadbooks.xyz/?book=0415452953 Leading schools is becoming almost daily a more complex and demanding job. Connecting Leadership and Learning reassesses the purpose of schools, the nature of learning and the qualities of leadership that make schools authentic places of learning. Starting with a review of what we can claim to know â€“ and not know â€“ about learning, leadership and their inter-relationship, this book explores what it means to lead schools that place learning at the centre. Drawing on research from seven different country projects - including the United States, Australia and five European countries â€“ the authors offer five key principles for practice:    a focus of learning  an environment for learning  a learning dialogue  shared leadership  accountability; internal and external.   These key principles have been tested by teachers, senior leaders and school students and found to be applicable across cultural and linguistic boundaries. The challenges faced by in inner city schools, whether in London or New Jersey, prove a stern test for the five principles yet, as these schools testify, they bring a new sense of hope and resolve that learning is for everyone. Based on rigorous research yet thoroughly grounded in practice, this book aims to challenge the reader with big ideas about learning and leadership, and to break new ground in thinking about where leadership and learning meet so that practitioners can see how it works in school and classroom practice. It should be of interest to all school leaders and those aspiring to the role.
