Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The purpose of this book is to re-orient the current agenda in education towards learning. The recent emphasis has been on achieving standards through managing schools, teachers and the teaching process. But the real purpose of schools was, is, and always will be about learning.
In an increasingly complex, diverse and unpredictable world, it is necessary for schools and those working with them to refocus on learning at all levels - pupils, teachers, leaders, the organisation as a whole and all of the school's partners.
It's About Learning is a clear and well written discussion woven with practical examples and strategies. It also includes an annotated bibliography suggesting useful follow-up reading, and the issues are posed as questions for reflection and discussion.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 190-208) and index
1. Why learning? -- 2. Learning about learning -- 3. Pupil learning at the centre -- 4. Teachers on a learning curve -- 5. Leadership for learning and learning for leadership for learning -- 6. The learning community: learning together and learning from one another -- 7. Enhancing capacity for learning.
