Many children are leaving school without the learning that they need to navigate the adult world effectively, the majority of whom are among the most vulnerable in our society. Closing the Disadvantage Gap in Schools helps teachers and school leaders to understand what educational disadvantage is and what research tells us are the â€œbest betsâ€ for making sure this disadvantage doesnâ€™t stop these children from succeeding in life. Designed as a highly practical workbook with accompanying sketchnotes that bring research to life, it uses reflective questions, worked examples, self-assessment tools and guided practice tasks to help educators to support the most disadvantaged pupils in their school community to achieve. The book helps staff to: Understand what causes the attainment gap and what it might look like in school How to develop a positive school culture that values and supports every child Use data to identify and track underperformance driven by disadvantage Improve the quality of teaching and learning for the most vulnerable pupils Provide targeted support and interventions for pupils who need extra help Monitor and evaluate the impact of your actions and adapt accordingly Whether you are a headteacher, a middle leader, or a classroom teacher, this book will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make a lasting difference to the attainment outcomes of the most vulnerable pupils in your school.
