Making Sense Of Primary Inspection

ISBN: 0335196640

Author: Sandbrook, Ian

Condition: New

Based on a series of British case studies, this volume examines what happens in primary school inspections both in technical and emotional terms. It explores tensions between judgment and development, myth and reality, evidence and interpretation, and the institution and the individual, as well as raising issues about power, professionalism, objectivity, credibility, and confidence, and revealing the internal workings of inspection as conditional, negotiated, and dominated by human nature.
