How can we involve students in classroom decisions? Why should we do this? Can it work? What implications does this have for teachers? What difficulties might arise? What benefits can we expect? This important collection aims to address these questions by bringing together for the first time accounts from teachers who have introduced shared decision-making with students. The book describes the rationale for negotiation and explains the origins of process syllabuses, which aim to provide a structure for negotiation. The collection provides actual examples from primary and secondary schools, and tertiary and teacher education from a wide range of contexts - including those in Britain, Europe, the USA, South America, and Asia. We learn about both successes and difficulties in negotiating with students. The collection focuses on practice - what needs to happen in the classroom and how - and provides a framework for teachers to experiment with negotiation in their own classrooms. The book will be of value to classroom teachers everywhere, course designers, curriculum planners and those involved in teacher education. An extract from Chapter 1 and all of Chapter 18 are available to download in pdf format.
