It's Our School, It's Our Time outlines a whole-school approach to teacher–pupil collaboration, illustrating how aspects of social inequality can be addressed by involvement in the school community and active participation in decision-making from an early age. The book presents insights into the psychological processes that are at work when pupils and teachers share decision-making, and how this can harness and increase motivation for teachers and pupils.
Combining both theory and examples of practice, this book provides clarity about the impact of collaborative decision-making and how it can help pupils to take ownership of their classrooms and promote greater cooperation and productivity. This book:
● Draws on stories from Dr. Rowe's own study and experiences, and the accounts of other educators and researchers
● Shows how teachers and school leaders have overcome common hurdles that those in conventional schools might encounter
● Provides research-evidence and practical examples from real-life classrooms
This companion guide will help teachers to transform achievement, behavior, and motivation through greater collaboration with their pupils.
