Thought Starters On Education: Reflect Respond Share Act - Hardcover

by Cheryl Lacey (Author)

For centuries philosophers have sought answers to what it means to have a good education, and how education relates to life and life's purposes. We are still searching for those answers.

Today, researchers and governments continue to put forward ideas, strategies and solutions for the 'right' way to educate our young people.

For teachers, this constant flow of new ideologies and methodologies raises questions about what they think and do.

For parents, compulsory school education means they must continue to place their trust in educators, often without a complete understanding of what a school genuinely offers.

For the community, the impact of school education - whether it succeeds or fails - is felt by all of us, as we are swept up in the perpetual cycle of increased spending and costly reform.

Thought Starters On Education, encourages you to be informed and involved in advocating what's possible in Australian education.

Cheryl Lacey is a Melbourne-based agitating advocate of change in school education. She works with educational professionals, and speaks regularly on education-related matters, keeping the spotlight on current issues involving schools, and the teaching profession.
