Description
Clarissa Farr's memoir and manifesto offers vital lessons for the way we teach, drawing on her experiences as an educator to share stories from the frontlines of schools.
She reflects on the challenges facing students and schools today, including how to encourage girls to become tomorrow's leaders, and what must change for students of all backgrounds to find ambition and succeed. A handbook, a memoir, and an urgent message for our time, Farr brings to life her own experiences and interweaves them with wider reflections upon education in the UK.
With wit and compassion, Farr argues for the importance of good teachers and the influence a school community can have on the lives of children. Her book is a call to improve the way we help young women prepare for this complex world, written by someone with experience and passion for good education.
