Routledge, United Kingdom, 2019. Edition Unstated. Softcover. Good Condition. This is a book by educators, for educators. It grapples with the complexities, the humanity and the possibilities in education. In a climate of competing accountabilities and measurement mechanisms; corporate solutions to education `problems'; and narratives of `failing' schools, `underperforming' teachers and `disengaged' students; this book asks `What matters?' or `What should matter?' in education. Based in the unique Australian context, this book situates Australian education policy, research and practice within the international education narrative. It argues that professionals within schools should be supported, empowered and welcomed into policy discourse, not dictated to by top-down bureaucracy.
