Abstract or Description

What is identity and why is it important? Can we define identity? More importantly, as educators, do we really know who our pupils are? Are we aware of the everyday issues they experience in the social world outside school? Who are they? And what are the issues that they are grappling with? Should this be our concern? And how does getting to know our pupils, having an insight into their worlds and a genuine attempt to understand their ‘everyday’ – how does this enhance the learning experience?
