| Summary: | This study of ten inner city schools shows how the empathy and imagination of teachers and headteachers can enable bilingual pupils to achieve all-round success. Their teachers understand achievement in the widest sense: academic success as marked by assessment results, certainly, but also the development of creativity, iniative and social responsibility. In much official guidance, the emphasis is on organisation and control: strong management, monitoring, assessment, target setting and behaviour control. All these are important, but only to help ensure that learners are empowered to think and develop. |
