  • The Best Bits of Ted Wragg
    EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION ‘His humour is a tonic and an inspiration: the sort that has you gnashing your teeth with rage one minute and clutching your sides with laughter the next.’ Rory Bremner When New Labour came to office in 1997, its commitment to ‘Education, Education, Education’ captured the imagination of the public.This collection of articles from 1998 to the present day exposes the real state of education during this period, when education policy has never been far from the head- lines. No-one escapes Ted Wragg’s sharp-shooting wit: from the ‘blamers and shamers’ who try to turn teacher-bashing into a national pastime to the ‘pale policy wonks’ in the Department of Education, who issue regular hare-brained initiatives from the mysterious ‘Tony Zoffis’. Split into seven issue-focused chapters, this hilarious collection will be a tonic for anyone finding themselves unsure whether to laugh or cry about the latest developments in the world of education. Ted Wragg is Professor of Education at the School of Education, Exeter University and writes regularly in the Times Educational Supplement. ‘Ted Wragg is the patron saint of teachers. Only much funnier. He’s what teachers read under the desk when the kids aren’t looking.’ Rory Bremner ‘Ted Wragg writes about education (and a lot of other things) with a combination of wit, passion and knowledge that is not equalled by anyone else.’ Neil Kinnock ‘Ted Wragg has achieved more for real improvement in the classroom than all the effort of twenty pieces of legislation, eight Secretaries

  • Learning, Curriculum and Life Politics: the Selected Works of Ivor F
    Learning, Curriculum and Life Politics In the World Library of Educationalists, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow themes and strands of the topic and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. Professor Ivor F. Goodson has spent the last 30 years researching, thinking and writing about some of the key and enduring issues in education. He has contributed over 40 books and 600 articles to the field. In Learning, Curriculum and Life Politics, Ivor Goodson brings together 19 key writings in one place. Starting with a specially written Introduction, which gives an overview of his career and contextualises his selection within the development of the field, the chapters cover: ● curriculum history and policy ● classroom pedagogy and strategies for professional development ● life history, narrative and educational change. This book not only shows how Ivor’s thinking developed during his long and distinguished career; it also gives an insight into the development of the fields to which he contributed. Ivor F. Goodson has recently joined the Von Hugel Institute at St Edmunds College, University of Cambridge. He is also Professor of Learning Theory at the Education Research Centre, University of Brighton. Currently he is Professor in residence at the University of Barcelona. He is the founding editor of the Journal of Education Policy and European Editor of Identity.
