Author Description

The impact of the 1988 Education Reform Act on the management of schools and the delivery of the curriculum is a major preoccupation for all those in education. Any discussion of the role of the teacher and the entitlement of the pupil is dominated by the requirements of the National Curriculum. It is easy to forget that teachers are also concerned with the emotional support of troubled children, and with the promotion of the personal, social and moral development of all children. Initiated by, and published in association with, the National Association for Pastoral Care in Education (NAPCE), this book brings together teachers and teacher-educators at the forefront of developments in pastoral care and PSE. Its wide-ranging and up-to-date examination of the pupil's entitlement to pastoral support, and to a curriculum which pays due regard to the development of the whole person, represents the first comprehensive treatment of these topics to be published for over a decade.
