Book SynopsisThis sequel to Breslin's critically acclaimed Lessons from Lockdown explores how school leaders, teachers, parents and pupils have navigated their way through and from lockdown. This is the story of doing' schooling against the topsy-turvy backdrop of a pandemic that has caused us all to reflect not just on the purpose and substance of education but also the world that schools might, in the future, need to prepare children and young people for. Drawing on the voices of more than a hundred pupils, parents and professionals, it captures the range of experiences as teachers and students grappled with new ways of working, policy chaos and the complexity of schooling and teaching in such a landscape.Bubble Schools is a must-read for all concerned about the shape that our public education systems take as we begin to move forward from a system-shock that has revealed both the strengths and the weaknesses of education policy, system design and long-established classroomTrade ReviewBubble Schools is a fascinating, thought provoking historical document which should be read by anyone concerned with supporting the "COVID generation" and addressing the inequities in our society - which the pandemic has thrown into sharp relief - in the months and years to come.Isobel Bryce, Education Consultant and Former Headteacher, Saltash Community School, UKI applaud Tony Breslin’s new work, Bubble Schools and the Long Road from Lockdown, a vivid description of the next stage in the crisis.

Taylor & Francis Creativity in the English Curriculum
Book SynopsisCreativity in the English Curriculum is essential reading for anyone involved or interested in the teaching of English, offering both a detailed history of how creativity has informed the tradition of teaching English, and how it should be used to position this teaching in the future.Highlighting the need to promote creativity as a rich, intellectual pursuit, Creativity in the English Curriculum celebrates artistry in English past and present, and argues for its restoration to the curriculum. It emphasises that creativity is at the core of a humane education, not only through stimulating and enhancing the growth of the individual, but also through developing understanding of the importance of community, society and collaboration. Smith presents the historical relationship between curriculum policy and creativity, demonstrating that creativity has and always will be the life blood of teaching and learning.Including dialogues betweTrade Review‘This is a really excellent book – a fascinating examination not only of current debates about notions of creativity in education and most specifically in subject English, but also of the whole history of the idea of creativity. Smith is erudite and thorough in the story she tells, bringing to light the relevance of past thinking, reporting and policy-making to present trends and attitudes. This is a key book for anyone researching English teaching but also essential reading for teachers wanting to understand more about creativity and learning and the rationale for bringing it into being in their own classrooms. Most importantly, its superb tracing of ideas historically provides a much-needed context for thinking about the idea of creativity today. And the thinking of today is brilliantly brought to life in the transcribed conversations in the ‘playscript’ of the third part of the book – absolute golddust in showing in action the ways in which teachers are grappling with the challenges and constraints they face in trying to enact own conceptualisation of the subject and learning within it.’Barbara Bleiman, English consultant at English and Media Centre (EMC), author of ‘What Matters in English Teaching’ (EMC)‘This book presents a timely, compelling and important argument for the restoration of creativity to the curriculum for English. The history of English as a subject is deftly distilled, and followed by a thought-provoking series of research-informed scripts which present a range of opinions and perspectives on ‘creative English’. This will be of interest across the English teaching community: an excellent resource to prompt discussion, reflection and creative practice.’Dr Annabel Watson, Senior Lecturer, University of Exeter; editor of ‘A Practical Guide to Teaching English in the Secondary School’ (Routledge)‘Dr Lorna Smith’s book has many major strengths and distinctive features. It covers vital areas connected with creativity and the history of English teaching. Her creative coverage of these topics is much needed at the moment, not just as an academic resource, but to generate wider public debate about creativity and English teaching. It is innovative in the way it uses scripted dialogue to promote wider and imaginative thinking about English teaching, creative pedagogy and English teaching’s place in the wider culture. It is also a great summation of the current research/thinking in the field of creativity.’Dr Francis Gilbert, Senior Lecturer in Education, Head of the MA in Creative Writing and Education & course leader for PGCE English at Goldsmiths University; author and novelistTable of ContentsPart I: The Case for Creativity 1.

Book SynopsisOffering a unique reading experience, this book examines the epistemologies of interculturality and explores potential routes to review and revisit the notion anew.Grounded in different sociocultural, economic and political perspectives around the world, interculturality in education and research bears a paradoxical attribute of ''contradictions'' and ''inconsistencies'', making it a polysemous and flexible notion that has no definitive diagnosis and requires constant unthinking and rethinking. The author provides a toolbox of ''out-of-box ideas'' in the form of fragmental yet standalone writings and follow-up questions concerning stereotypes about the very notion of interculturality and conceptual and methodological flaws in the way it is used. Readers are encouraged to critically reflect about interculturality as it stands today in global research and education.
