Zusatztext
‘An extraordinary book. It makes those ‘Unseen Children’ visible to us all with incisive arguments, an array of evidence, along with compelling personal stories. It offers anyone with an interest in education a comprehensive account of the challenges faced by so many children in our education system. And yet, it manages to remain hopeful and practical. It is both a call to arms and a helping hand to everyone in education who wants to address the disadvantage gap and make ‘Unseen Children’ seen, heard and supported to thrive.'
-- Alex Quigley, the Education Endowment Foundation and author of ‘Closing the Reading Gap’
‘When I opened the first page of this book, I already knew I would like it. I was aware it included the wonderful work of many colleagues … I was familiar with many of the interventions and ways of working described within it. I must admit it, I was biased from the beginning. But what I wasn’t prepared for was the clear, evidenced, systematic approach to developing school communities designed for the most vulnerable in our society that this book presents. Many books claim to show us how to improve schools. This is a book that draws together the many parts that will improve our schools… what this book tells us is that we must put aside our preconceptions and biases. We must look closely at the children – the real, living children in front of us; not the ones we wish we could teach. It challenges us to look under the surface and understand by "walking in their moccasins." Every child can be outstanding in something – yes they can.’
- Megan Dixon, Director of Research and Acting Director of Education for the Holy Family Catholic MAT, CPD leader for the Liverpool and Wirral Inspire Teaching School Hub
