Description
Book SynopsisThis book, written by educators with a wealth of expertise across all age phases, provides an accessible, informative and thought-provoking exploration of how practitioners might place the human-centred values of Social Pedagogy at the heart of their own education and care practice to enrich and transform the learning experience.
A clear overview is provided of why and how the underpinning principles of social pedagogy can benefit both learner and educator, and answers are offered to current educational challenges. Chapters cover topics including:
- supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
- working with Marginalised Families and Communities
- tackling Bias in Higher Education
- alternative approaches to education Leadership
- establishing Relationships within an Online Environment
The book concludes by considering the value of social pedagogical approaches beyond the realm of education, in wider work with children and families. It discusses how this approach can build communities, offer hope, and provide opportunities for all. Supplying a fresh and highly relevant perspective to help face the challenges in education today, this book will be key reading for policy makers, teachers and students in the field of education studies and beyond.
