"Alternative education" encompasses a diversity of schooling types and organizations. International Perspectives on Alternative Education presents some of the many interpretations of the term to stimulate discussion about the multiple purposes of these interpretations. It explores alternative forms of schooling from the position of academics, policy workers and those working (and studying) in such schools in many parts of the world. The accounts of first-hand experience working and leading in alternative schools, and also from those working at the policy level in national contexts, bring alive their dilemmas and challenges. Complementing these are the academic contributions, which examine over-arching questions about social justice and the meanings of achievement, success, choice and purpose across education. The issue of "alternative education" and why it is relevant in today's educational landscape is an international one, and the book draws on contributions from Australia, Indonesia, Korea, Denmark, England, Germany, Scotland and the United States. The book will be of interest to all educators, teachers, academics, students, policy workers and others concerned about issues of social justice and education.
