By focusing on the relationships involved, Improving Education Policy Together will change how policymaking in education is approached, and showcase alternative models that will lead to more sustainable and effective practices. The authors analyse the state of educational policymaking in England. They particularly reflect on the relationships of the different people and organisations involved -- policymakers such as politicians, civil servants, unions -- and explain how these interact with the wider world. Building on the experiences of the authors on different sides of the process, the book explores the reasons why education policies fail the very sector they are intended to serve. By considering aspects of policymaking in different countries, the authors highlight more effective ways of building relationships between decision-makers and those affected by educational policy. This book explores as an alternative, long term, systems-led and relational policymaking, and maps out a range of unique models for change. Of interest to those involved in developing and influencing policy in government, this book will be essential reading for political parties, unions, civil servants, charities as well as teachers and leaders who believe they should be much more influential in the policies that affect their working lives and seek to adopt a better approach to making education policy.

Edited by Nansi Ellis, assistant general secretary at leading teaching union ATL, Managing Teacher Workload brings together leading educationalists to discuss real, practical ways to solve the biggest problem in the profession: how to bring to an end the excessive working hours that have left morale for many at rock-bottom.
