Description

The second edition of this handbook has been fully updated and revised with new chapters on the nature and measurement of intelligence and issues of race and racism in school and society. Other chapters addressing the rapidly changing world of educational policy and innovation have been substantially rewritten to take account of developments and current debates that have occurred since the first edition. All contributors write clearly and accessibly, without over-simplifying the complexity of the issues or the value they pose. This title should be suitable for PGCE secondary courses and Professional Development courses.
