Co-operation in Education: special edition of Journal of Co-operative Studies
Staff, students and other professionals connected with co-operative schools have contributed to a special edition of the Journal of Co-operative Studies, which is published quarterly by the UK Society for Co-operative Studies.
The current issue, which came out in December, focuses on co-operation in education and looks at how education can be transformed through co-operation. It includes contributions based on both practice and theory, and perspectives ranging from formal to informal learning and early years to higher education.
Sarah Jones, Vice Principal of Lipson Community College in Plymouth, Devon, discusses ‘Leading Learning in a Co-operative Academy’. Lee Taylor, Deputy Head of Sutherland school, writes ‘A Personal Reflection on the Transformative Power of Co-operative Approaches’. Ashley Simpson, a former student and active member of Reddish Vale Technology College near Stockport, has written an article entitled ‘Co-operation Provides Opportunities for All – A View from a Learner’. The Co-operative College’s Julie Thorpe and Linda Shaw have written articles about ‘Co-operative Schools in the UK’ and ‘Making Co-operators: Co-operative Education for the 21st Century’.
The journal also covers a contextual framework for co-operative learning, putting co-operative values into practice, making co-operative learning work in the classroom, co-operative leadership, co-operative strategies and inclusion, the Workers Educational Association and the co-operative movement, e-learning, teaching about co-operatives in a UK business school, personalised education, co-operative drama teaching methods, using co-operation to reengage NEETs, community arts, Woodcraft Folk and learning co-operatively through networks.
