Default Re: Group Dynamics/Relationships in Schools

I was finally able to access the resources from Professor Mike (UK). Professor MIke indicated that Knowledge is a Key element to schooling. He pointed out that "knowledge of the powerful" refers to the kind of knowledge (high status) that is usually acquired by the elite. Professor Mike posited that the authority (those making decisions (my words)) are intrinsic to pedagogy in schools especially their relations with teachers. Based on the comments of Professor Mike, it appears that the responsible leaders should assess the cultures within the school and strategize on ways to facilitate content-independent knowledge within the school.
