"These are the things I know about children, voice, and what happens when you stop correcting. Start anywhere. Everything here is for you."
There is a remarkable absence at the centre of the vast apparatus of education research, policy, and intervention. The child.
Every child who is struggling has a story that explains the struggle. The question that rarely gets asked and why its absence costs children so much.
Boys are behind girls in reading by age 15. Two thirds of the bottom 10% are boys. The seven systemic mistakes schools make when trying to close the gap.
465 children across nine schools. The question is not why won't boys write. The question is why we demand compliance instead of inviting creation.
The book is free. You pay only the postage.
