A Good Education

This book defines and describes good education. In clear, practical terms, it explains how a good contemporary education can be achieved, identifying its essential elements, and exploring their origins, implications and outworking. A Good Education offers a personal perspective based on four foundational values, which concern the worth, strengths, interactions and development of every individual child within the educational community. Reflecting on extensive professional experience it is addressed to others actively engaged in educational provision: graduates entering teaching or aspiring school leaders. It also speaks more broadly to all those who know that good education really matters.
