Equitable Education
What everyone working in education should know about closing the attainment gap for all pupils
About this book
Never has a book on social justice and equitable education been so relevant.
Recent events have highlighted the huge attainment gaps that exist for many pupils within the education system due to factors outside of their control. As the diversity of the pupil population increases, it is more important than ever to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding within the teaching profession around issues of equality and inclusion. This book provides trainees and teachers with an in-depth understanding of the complex issues related to the attainment of key groups of disadvantaged pupils, and practical strategies that can be deployed to address these gaps.
Chapters focus on:
- social class,
- gender,
- English as an additional language,
- minority ethnic achievement,
- gypsy, Roma and travellers,
- refugee and asylum seekers, and
- those with special educational needs and disabilities.
The book takes a stark look at the evidence and statistics, provides an overview of the key issues and considerations for each particular group, and suggests key resources and examples of good practice, along with case studies and points for reflection. Ultimately it encourages you to have high expectations of your pupils and to truly believe that you can help them realise their ambitions and aspirations.
This is a powerful and timely consideration of the ways in which education has the capacity to make a difference. Packed full of evidence-informed strategies, this book considers the range of ways that schools can respond positively to build far greater equity for all…Sameena Choudry's contribution is authoritative and compelling and deserves our full attention.
