Partnership with students

Involving students more in decisions which affect their education can improve both motivation and behaviour. This is recognised by recent legislation, notably the Code of Practice for special needs.

The contributions in this collection first consider issues such as empowerment and sources for learning and behaviour difficulties. The central sections, written by respected experts, look at different kinds of partnership and how they can be used, including peer tutoring, counselling, contracts, class-based support, self-monitoring, and a range of whole school approaches.
