Black and Ethnic Minority Achievement in Schools
Strategies and Successful Practice to Tackle Inequality
About this book
This eminently timely volume explores the successful practice and effective intervention strategies in schools to drive school improvement and close the achievement gap for Black and minority ethnic students.
Representing a seminal publication in the literature, this book collates 20 years of original research into race, achievement, and educational equality in schools in England to find out what's really working in education and identify the key areas for improvement. Looking at leading issues such as the curriculum, school exclusions, and language barriers, chapters focus on the lived experiences of headteachers, teachers, parents, pupils, and other school staff obtained through focus groups and interviews. Presenting longitudinal evidence from school surveys and the National Pupil Database, the book considers:
- The scale of the achievement gap and educational inequality
- The barriers to learning for Black and ethnic minorities
- The experience of raising achievement in successful multicultural schools
- Strategies and success factors to drive improvement in schools
- Targeted intervention to tackle inequality
- The international experience to close the achievement gap
- Lessons learned from successful schools to inform policy and practice
Ultimately tackling educational inequality head-on, the book demonstrates concrete strategies for how to close the achievement gap for Black and ethnic minority students and will therefore be essential reading for academics, policymakers, and school staff involved with multicultural education, education policy and politics, and school improvement and effectiveness, as well as race and ethnicity studies more broadly.
