The student-centred school - Donna Brandes

This book follows on from "A Guide to Student-Centred Learning" by the same authors. It focuses on the innovation among teachers and management in school which is necessary to make student-initiated learning really work.;The Student-Centred School gives practical assistance for management and staff development in this context. The book is particularly relevant where TVEI courses are being introduced. In addition, "The Student-Centred School" provides a model for teacher-centred staff development. Teachers will find the materials for professional assessment helpful in identifying their training needs, and the providers of INSET will find sufficient practical guidelines to enable them to work in a client-centred way.;The ideas are presented in practical terms, through real examples, imaginary situations and step-by-step suggestions. There is a selection of purpose-built activities for personal effectiveness, professional assessment, creating a positive climate in the school, participating management and classroom innovation.
