Fundamental British Values in Education by Lynn Revell

Fundamental British Values in Education by Lynn Revell

This timely book provides a critical analysis of the statutory requirements to promote Fundamental British Values in educational settings in the UK. It explores British values as they appear in contemporary policy and legislation as well as how Britishness as a concept has evolved in relation to education in the post-war period.

"This book provides a focussed and comprehensive analysis of how the policy to actively promote fundamental British values has impacted on school policies, teaching, and teacher professionalismThe mandate to promote these values has proceeded at a pace in parallel with the securitization of pedagogical spaces and led to the proliferation of resources promulgating narrow conceptions of Britishness. Alongside the enactment of this policy the notion of teacher professionalism has been transformed. The authors make a unique contribution to the debate by examining the position of teachers who as agents and actors are compelled to negotiate and perform in such securitised spaces. In this book, Lynn Revell and Hazel Bryan advance the concept of liquid professionalism which coheres with the complex and dynamic policy landscape of fundamental British values. This is an excellent book for all educational professionals." -- Vini Lander * University of Roehampton, UK *
