Reihe: Voices from the classroom

This edited collection focuses on educational challenges, questions and discussions in a range of educational contexts and phases of learning, including early years, primary, secondary and higher education. These individual discourses lead to connected conversations where educational challenges are pondered, solutions offered, and where research findings can extend our insights and understanding to enhance educational practices.
The scope of the book is multi-faceted and explores a range of practices and research contexts such as sustainable development, parent/carer engagement, cyber bullying, social pedagogy, professional development, educational innovations, language learning, gender, diversity and inclusion. The chapters offer an insight into how we can think about and offer solutions to complex educational challenges for sustainable and enhanced pedagogic practice.
