EP Reach-Out webinar – *Book Launch* Excluded from School: Complex Discourses and Psychological Perspectives with the authors
November 14 - 16:30 to 17:30
FreeChildren are still being excluded from school and the use of separation from school has been an intervention adopted over centuries in many different contexts.
Excluded from School is a book describing the incredibly complex lives of the students and their families who have been through the exclusion process. It sets out the accounts from the children, their families, the teachers who excluded and the staff who received these students. It first appeared in 2009 and this new edition goes further in including perspectives from critical race theory, working in Pupil Referral Units and information on the lives of those excluded after the exclusion.
The original volume was a collaboration between two educational psychologists and two clinical psychologists. This new edition adds to this with three educational psychologists.
A recent BBC Radio 4 programme featured a detailed interview with a man who had been excluded from school. He said that the original book was one that he valued and one of the few that he allowed on his limited bookshelf space.
We hope that this book will be read by teachers and parents of children at risk of exclusion and will be found on the shelves of all secondary school staff rooms as well as those in PRUs. Educational Psychology and behaviour support services are likely to find this of interest and of use in professional development.
The launch is kindly being hosted by the Educational Psychology Reach-Out team and will include the contributors talking about their experiences working in this field.
