Reimagining Education: Hearing Children's Voices to Design Schools Where All Belong

Drawing from relational and trauma-informed approaches, Reimagining Education explores ways to design and sustain a successful school system, through the eyes and experiences of children and young people.

Chapters consider a range of themes, from mentally healthy schools to attendance and academic pressure, to build the vision of a compassionate school where no child is left behind or excluded. Each topic is introduced through the voices and views of children, who reflect on their experiences and tell us what would make it better and create a sense of belonging for all. These themes are explored alongside key psychological theory, before accessible strategies and recommendations for change are introduced.

Centring the views of children and young people, this essential guide focuses on developing an education system fit for the workforce of the future, based on skills, humanity, compassion and citizenship. It will be valuable reading for all teachers, pastoral staff, educational leaders and educational psychologists.
