Title Exemplary teachers of students in poverty / edited by Geoff Munns, Wayne Sawyer, Bronwyn Cole. [BOOK]
Published Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2013.
Collation 208 p. ; 24 cm.
General Note Relevant to Hot Topics "Raising Achievement".
Summary Note "Education and poverty exist in a highly contested relationship even in the developed world. On the one hand, educational outcomes seem solidly attached to socio-economic status, and on the other, education is often cited as a way out of poverty. Success at de-coupling poverty from educational outcomes varies across the developed world. The issues connecting education and poverty are complex: the successful engagement of students from poor backgrounds involves a mix of public policy on poverty, public policy on education, and teacher action. This book focuses on a number of exemplary teachers who demonstrate a set of common pedagogical qualities, assisting them to work productively with persistent classroom challenges in low SES classrooms. 'Exemplary teachers of students in poverty' shares successful classroom practice from schools serving diverse and disadvantaged communities, and stresses that opportunities in school can influence educational engagement and encourage students to achieve. The text locates itself in international debates about education and poverty, and reports on the 'Teachers for a fair go' project - an Australian research project into the work of a number of teachers who were successful at engaging students from poor backgrounds. Issues covered in the book include: teaching in low SES communities; what exemplary teachers of students in low SES communities do; specific pedagogical approaches in literacy, ICT, creativity and culturally responsive practices; students' voices; professional qualities of these teachers. - Back cover.
