Changing schools at 11 or 12+ is a critical, often traumatic event in a pupil’s career. Earlier studies had looked at this transitional stage from the schools’ point of view, in the light of institutional aims and objectives. Originally published in 1984, this richly detailed and readable study looks at it from the pupils’ point of view: it illustrates their perceptions of the transfer, their anxieties and their experiences. The book is the result of a research project, in which children transferring from a typical middle school to a typical comprehensive in a Midlands town were observed over a period of eighteen months. The authors reveal various ways in which children adjust to a large, more complex school organisation, to new forms of discipline and authority, and new demands in school work. They emphasise the significance of teenage culture during this period, and identify an important area of interplay between school culture and sub-culture. They pay special attention to gender identities, and the ways in which these affect pupils’ responses to different subjects in the curriculum. Finally, they consider the theoretical and policy implications of their survey, and make positive recommendations for improving school and classroom practice at both primary and secondary level.

Changing Schools places educational and social aims at the centre of a discussion of educational change. It draws on forteen case studies to explore school change which is oriented towards social justice and democracy. In an age of global mobility, economic polarization and unprecedented environmental and cultural challenges, the education of all children and young people to higher levels has become a key issue of international policy. Educational reform in such a context requires a serious rethinking and reworking of school and classroom practices. Social justice is integral to the challenge of raising standards, since this requires removing the ongoing influence of poverty on school success. This thoughtful book presents new thinking and practice for bringing about school change, drawn from diverse contexts around the world. It distils and compares the experiences and theories-in-action of engaged teachers, school principals and academics. It seeks to challenge the dominance that human capital theories of school improvement currently hold on policy making. The authors draw on contemporary innovations in practice and theory and also long-standing traditions of alternative thinking and practice. Linking together and articulating other ways of conceiving of and implementing school change, the collection bases its findings on values of equality and global citizenship. It shows how schools can work to make different languages, knowledge, narratives, and truths integral to the mainstream curriculum, everyday pedagogy, assessment and general culture of the school. Changing Schools is directed at all who are concerned with progressive school change and the promotion of democratic citizenship and social justice. It will prove an invaluable source of inspiration for all involved in schools, including teachers, head teachers, policy makers, and those currently studying for school leadership positions.

Transferring Schools - Grades 1 - 12 (And The Problem With Attending Different High Schools): This book, written by a person who attended nine different schools in twelve years including four different High Schools in four years, is intended to ease the transition process for students who transfer schools. The unique problems students might encounter in transferring between elementary, Junior High, and High Schools are discussed and recommended solutions are given. The book is designed to be a quick and easy read and long term reference guide for parents (or guardians), teenagers, teachers, and administrators in all private, public, and parochial schools throughout the United States and at American schools overseas. Throughout the book, the author describes his own experiences and memories, as well as the special problems he discovered while transferring schools. The book begins by discussing the hidden effects on children and on the parent (or guardian) when there is a transfer between schools. Although transferring between schools is a part of life and has been as ongoing as long as American schools have been in existence, very little, if any, attention has been given over the years to easing the difficulties students face after leaving a school and to recognizing and understanding the problems those students encounter upon arrival at a new school. Therefore, the author believes that transferring schools should be avoided if possible; but recognizes that often a transfer between schools is necessary. Regardless of whether a transfer can be avoided, parents (or guardians) are advised to carefully consider their child when a decision is made to transfer schools. In this book, parents (or guardians) are asked to try as best possible to view objectively the stage of development of their child who is to transfer schools. The transfer to a different school will result in at least some adjustment (or disruption) to the child, and any negative effects of the change will eventually be a concern to the parent (or guardian). The two types of transfers (either at the beginning of the academic year or during the academic school year) are discussed. Then, the difference between transferring schools when a school has been in existence for a number of years or when a new school that has just been opened is analyzed. Transferring schools in different grades can create different problems for the student and so the various aspects of life for the transfer student in elementary school, middle (or Junior High) School, and High School are brought to the attention of the reader. An emphasis is placed on High School because academic performance during those three or four years largely determines what college a student can attend or what type of job a person can obtain upon entering the workforce. When a teenager transfers to different High Schools, the person enters into a different environment from the school previously attended. But there are differences when the transfer occurs at the High School level as compared to earlier years in school, which the author describes through his experiences in the four High Schools he attended. As he recounts, each High School was a different school; but very similar social circumstances occurred and personality types were encountered at the four High Schools he attended. The author concluded that transferring to a different High School or many different schools between grades nine through twelve will likely be an unpleasant experience. As stated in the book, in High School, the personality and academic development for the student who transfers will likely take longer unless favorable circumstances are present in the new High School to reduce the time for the adjustment process to be completed. Thus, the author believes that by having attended different High Schools and knowing persons whose children attended High School over the past twenty years, the mo

Children spend more time in school than in any social institution outside the home. And schools probably exert more influence on children’s development and life chances than any environment beyond the home and neighbourhood. The purpose of this book is to document some important ways schools influence children’s development and to describe various models and methods for studying schooling effects. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage – this is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of what is known about schools as a context for human development. Topical coverage ranges from theoretical foundations to investigative methodologies and from classroom-level influences such as teacher-student relations to broader influences such as school organization and educational policies. Cross-Disciplinary – this volume brings together the divergent perspectives, methods and findings of scholars from a variety of disciplines, among them educational psychology, developmental psychology, school psychology, social psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and educational policy. Chapter Structure – to ensure continuity, chapter authors describe 1) how schooling influences are conceptualized 2) identify their theoretical and methodological approaches 3) discuss the strengths and weaknesses of existing research and 4) highlight implications for future research, practice, and policy. Methodologies – chapters included in the text feature various methodologies including longitudinal studies, hierarchical linear models, experimental and quasi-experimental designs, and mixed methods.

The subject of minority children’s learning has long been the concern of civic leaders, parents, scholars, and educators. The federal legislation, ‘No Child Left Behind’ emphasizes the concern even more. It specifically requires assessing the academic achievement of minority students, particularly in economically disadvantaged areas, and holding schools accountable for their progress. Schools that fail to attain “Adequate Yearly Progress” face the real possibility of being forced to close if they continually fail to perform. Unlike the past, these are increasingly “high stakes” consequences for educators, parents, students and the schools that serve them. This book is timely and relevant because it addresses these issues, and recommends solutions for Latino, Black, and Asian students. This book also has implications for the problems the nation faces in helping all students to learn well, particularly those that lag in academic achievement. In considering the broad problems and in recommending solutions, the book provides breadth, concision, and unique organization. As the introductory chapter makes clear, the book simultaneously considers not only the three most visible minority groups in the U. S. , but draws upon the perspectives of anthropology, education, ethnic studies, psychology, and sociology. From these several persp- tives, this book is organized within three broad sections: 1) culturally diverse families and schooling; 2) issues of immigration and schooling experiences; and 3) socio-cultural perspectives on teaching, learning, and development. Within each section, the authors marshal research literature regarding each ethnic minority group.

School Choice at the Crossroads compiles exemplary, policy-relevant research on school choice options—voucher, private, charter, and traditional public schools—as they have been implemented across the nation. Renowned contributors highlight the latest rigorous research findings and implications on school vouchers, tuition tax credits, and charter schools in states and local areas at the forefront of school choice policy. Examining national and state-level perspectives, each chapter discusses the effects of choice and vouchers on student outcomes, the processes of choice, supportive conditions of school choice programs, comparative features of school choice, and future research. This timely volume addresses whether school choice works, under what conditions, and for whom—further informing educational research, policy, and practice.
