Andy Hargreaves; Dennis Shirley – Learning Professional, 2024
The reality is that most students and teachers have multiple, complex, and even contradictory identities. This matters greatly because it's hard for young people to succeed or be well if they feel they need to hide significant parts of themselves because their identities are stigmatized for being different or stereotyped to fit into a program or a…

Hargreaves, Eleanore; Quick, Laura; Buchanan, Denise – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2021
By portraying the views and perspectives of children labelled as 'low-attaining', this text makes a significant contribution to the debate on within-class attainment grouping in primary schools.

The opportunities for some potential learners to participate in gifted…

Alshiban, Afra S. – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2018
For decades, "societal reaction theory" or "labelling theory" has provided the most significant explanation for deviant behaviour, particularly in the case of juveniles.
