Forever Learning
We are forever learning - every day, all our lives.
Each day we learn new things on the way to work, listening to what our children have been up
to or by having a conversation with someone...
Packed full of original ideas this highy readable, thought-provoking book covers an aspect of life which affects everyone: education in its widest sense. A great deal of conventional wisdom is challenged and new directions for the future are pointed to - directions which, if followed, will lead to better education and better lives.
Plowden's Progress
The Plowden Report was one of the most significant reports on education that has ever been produced.
This short book examines the underlying philosophy of the Plowden movement and discusses its profound effect on the classroom.
Not everyone will agree with the views expressed but I hope my verdict on this exciting but ultimately flawed approach to education is fair.
I believe the book, published to mark the 40th anniversary, makes a serious contribution to the ongoing debate about the future of primary education and I'm sure the issues it raises will be relevant for as long as children learn and teachers teach.
