Pathways to Child Friendly Schools - A guide for parents

Fiona Carnie is an educational consultant who has been working for Human Scale Education for the last 12 years. In this book she draws on her wide experience to characterise features of child- and parent-friendly schools and explain potential opportunities for partnership between parents and schools. The text is illustrated with practical examples from the UK and elsewhere. Children need to be known, to feel safe and be part of a community. The author illustrates such principles with good practice drawn from a variety of contexts, providing follow-up web sites where possible. The results are therefore concrete and highly encouraging. This is a book for all involved in education, both as parents and teachers.
