<p><strong>'Scott says we need to understand how and why such texts are constructed, and cites convincing (and enjoyable) examples. A more valuable (and subversive) book than the ... title suggests.</strong> - <em>Michael Duffy, Times Educational Supplement</em></p>

Reading Educational Research and Policy will improve the ability of teachers to deconstruct policy, research and media texts. This accessible book examines in turn the message systems through which educational meanings are conveyed in modern society: official policy texts; written media and spoken media. Through understanding how and why messages are conveyed, teachers will develop strategies for becoming more critical and reflective of the texts that confront them in their work.
