This is an extensive study, funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) focusing on issues faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils and what can be done to improve educational outcomes for this group.
Current research evidence and literature over the last 10 years were reviewed and a European perspective was also covered - 91 sources of evidence were included in the review.
This is a really useful and comprehensive review which highlights a number of important and influential issues arising from the literature. If teachers have a problem linked to Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils I suggest this is essential reading.
Areas covered include: Pupil perspectives and experiences of schooling; Parents' beliefs, values and expectations about education; Teacher expectations and attitudes; Relationships; Levels of engagement; Pupil attainment; Pupil well being; Effective practise; Interagency working; and a secion on 'The European perspective'.
