Description
Education in Spite of Policy explores how national systems of education are shaped by policy, and the challenges that arise when ideology and evidence conflict. Drawing on his extensive experience as a teacher, researcher, government adviser, and international consultant, Robin Alexander examines the processes that influence educational reform.
The book delves into four key areas: system-level reform, the development of England's National Curriculum, the importance of effective pedagogy, and the global implications for education. Alexander critiques the narrow vision of successive governments and offers alternative approaches to curriculum design, highlighting the need for evidence-based decision-making and expert leadership.
Through a critical analysis of policy and practice, Education in Spite of Policy provides valuable insights into the complex issues facing educators today, and offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities in shaping effective educational systems.
