Description
The Working Classroom: How to Make School Work for Working-Class Students This book explores how schools can address the disadvantages faced by working-class students, including cultural poverty, where knowledge gaps exist compared to more affluent peers. Written by two experienced authors, it examines the need for systemic changes and offers practical ways to improve the cultural capital of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The book provides teachers with useful methods to improve the cultural capital of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, backed up by practical case studies that have a proven impact in schools with high levels of deprivation. It encourages teachers to audit their current provision and adopt new systems and practices to make a greater impact on the lives of working-class students and their families. By adopting these methods, schools can create a socially just education system that builds on the rich heritage of the working-class, rather than seeing their background as a weakness.
