Download or read book Consorting And Collaborating In The Education Market Place written by Chris Husbands and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text offers descriptions and analyses of some of the different ways in which schools and other educational institutions have started to establish new collaborative relationships in today's competitive educational marketplace. Using case studies, the book describes examples of such collaborative structures.; Educational consortia have been established as a vehicle for professional and curriculum development, as a source of mutual support and as a condition of mutual survival. As the "LEA monopolies" have been forced to shed many of their traditional functions or schools have opted out, schools have found it necessary to re-create parts of their collaborative structures out of sheer self- Interest.; For Some Educators Who Continue To Be Attached To Notions Of "an educational service" and professional collegiality in the provision of such a service, inter-institutional collaboration becomes seen as something to be valued independently of the instrumental benefits which it provides. For this variety of reasons, consortium working and collaborative structures seem set to develop in spite of, or as a necessary antodote to, educational markets. Understanding the role and operation of such structures is a necessity for educational managers in all parts of the educational service.

Download or read book Ethics in Educational Practice Policy and Research written by David Bridges and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is a social practice that poses ethical questions of policy and practice at every level and at almost every turn -- what we teach, how we teach, how we organise educational provision, how we research it, who controls it, and what principles drive policy nationally and internationally. This collection of papers is rooted in the author’s experience in the education system nationally and internationally over half a century and reflects both the educational history of this period and the author’s experience as a teacher, parent, school governor, teacher trainer, educational researcher, senior manager in higher education and advisor to governments in many parts of the world. It is, then, historically located, but the approach to ethical questions is primarily in the tradition of analytic philosophy and applied and situated ethics. The book is aimed at undergraduate and especially postgraduate students studying education, including those interested in philosophy of education; lecturers in education; and those conducting research and engaged in scholarly writing in higher education.
