Description
In this book experts explore the reason for the Elton Committee being set up, its preconceptions and the likely reaction to its findings. The book provides a variety of analyses and a range of advice on the wider issue of the effectiveness of education. It is felt that the most significant ways in which to improve pupil behaviour may well be through a fresh approach to styles of teaching and learning. Pupil behaviour reflects the teacher's skill in classroom management. The central problem discussed is how to put such well-established educational principles into effective practice in the schools and classrooms where it is most needed.
