Introduction Children's experiences in classrooms: why they matter Authority and authoritarianism in the classroom Autonomy in the classroom Teacher feedback in the classroom Social-class in the classroom

This book presents an innovative approach to the pupil voice debate. Its efforts to bridge the gap between research and practice are also to be celebrated. -- Dr Helen Fisher I wonder how often teachers stop to think about what children feel about their classrooms? This is just the book to stimulate that thinking and to help teachers and their pupils get the most out of their classroom environment. This powerful book really shows the impact of the classroom environment and should be part of every staffroom library as well as for student teachers - and a focus for discussion and (importantly) action. -- Sarah Brew
