Description
Equality Matters is an important collection of critical articles and case studies about equal opportunities work in the primary school. Accounts come from a wide range of schools and cover a variety of topics - such as children's books, multilingual storytelling, global education, technology, assessment, bullying, policy and management. The authors show how issues of language, gender, race, disability, class and sexuality are experienced in real classrooms and provide numerous ideas and resource suggestions for work in school. This book is written for primary teachers and teacher trainers, advisers and inspectors, and all those interested in equality of opportunity in primary schools. It is intended to record and disseminate good practice, and also to highlight and question the inequalities perpetuated through school organisation, curriculum content and methods of teaching and assessment.
