{"product_id":"9781858564937","title":"Changing Life Chances: Practical Projects and Endeavours in Schools","description":"The link between a child’s background and their chance of success at school and in later life is known to be strong. But it is not the determining factor–schools can and do make a real difference to learning outcomes. This book describes a range of effective practical projects in schools and the principles underlying good practice.Chapters consider* issues of social class and socio-economic disadvantage* issues relating to ethnicity, gender and disability* special educational needs* the needs of young people from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller backgrounds* a project on language, especially the concept of academic language* modifying teachers’ expectations and assumptions* transition arrangements between primary and secondary schools.The book is a follow-up to the best-selling Trentham handbooks by Robin Richardson: \u003ci\u003eHere, There and Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e (2005) and \u003ci\u003eHolding Together\u003c\/i\u003e (2009). It has the same engaging layout, with much use of case-studies, stories and pithy quotations. Most, though not all, of the practical examples are drawn from one local authority, Derbyshire, but are of wide relevance and interest, both nationally and internationally.","brand":"Stylus Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050803085552,"sku":"9781858564937","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781858564937_p0.jpg?v=1763599706","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781858564937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
