Description

This book presents a vital and motivating approach for re-engaging young people who have struggled in conventional secondary schools. Drawing on his arts-based doctoral studies and 14 years leading tutors and students in alternative education settings, Adrian Schoone outlines a tutor-based pedagogy that returns to more holistic notions of teaching that will benefit all students in 21st-century learning and life. The tutor can be both a distinct role and represent a broader education philosophy to inform teacher practice. The attributes of transformational educators are described creatively through founds poems from tutor voices, and expanded upon in theoretical discussions. Teachers are guided to reflect on their own teaching practices and to consider how they too can become transformational educators.
