Rachel Wilson – författare

When Andrew and Rachel found out that one, and then both, of their children had severe autism, their world was turned on its head.This is a book about surviving, and thriving, when something goes horribly wrong. It is a mixture of their story and God's story, and the way in which his has shaped theirs.With clarity and biblical insight, they share their experience of grief and worship, struggle and hope. As well as reflecting on the specific challenges of raising children with special needs, they speak to broader questions: the problem of suffering, building a marriage under pressure, fighting for joy, and trusting in God's goodness.This is not just for families and friends of special needs children, but for all who have been thrown a curve ball in life, and need to know how to lament, worship, pray and hope.[Award-winning title]

Internationally, teachers and schools are facing a ‘polycrisis': an intersection of global teacher shortages, heightened workload and work intensity, threats to public education, enduring shifts wrought by COVID-19 and an ever-evolving technological landscape.This book charts a pathway towards ‘decent work’ for teachers. Schools are not only places of learning but also places of work. Teachers are the heart of students’ learning, and good conditions of work improve the learning conditions of students. The authors provide a profoundly interdisciplinary new analysis of teachers’ work in schools which is generally absent in education policy and effects. Drawing on empirical research, the book’s overarching frame of ‘decent work’ provides a way of thinking about the shifts that have occurred to and around teaching. The authors show erosion of, and paths towards, decent work for teachers.This vital resource for researchers, students, policymakers, principals and unions takes an innovative approach to examining policies, problems and possibilities concerning teachers’ work, job conditions and employment relations.
