Author Description

A concern for the development of the whole person is common to the educational philosophies and systems of many countries. The labels may not be the same and the structures and practices by which commitment is converted into practice may be different, but the underlying values have much in common.This book considers recent developments in pastoral care and personal and social education in England, the USA, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia and Denmark. It aims, by making available wider information, to improve the provision of care to pupils.The book is divided into three parts: the first part considers perspectives, the second discusses applications and the final part gives ideas for the training and support of those responsible for the pastoral care of pupils.All teachers and educationalists, both inside and outside the school, will find this book of invaluable assistance in the review and development of pastoral care and PSE policy and practice.
