ISBN: 9781433106262 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The chapters in this edited collection examine how the culture of masculinity intersects with issues of health, homophobia, and the suppression and silencing of anxieties about body image among men and boys. Examining the bodily dividends and trade-offs associated with male participation in physical activity is central to understanding how educators in particular might better engage all boys in healthy life practices, not only those privileged by muscularity and physicality. Contributions explore evidence of intimidation and body fears that is largely unheard and unexplored in locker rooms...

ISBN: 9781433120398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Much of school reform during the past decade has been influenced by neoliberal and neoconservative economic and social policies and Rightist politics. Although the authors of School Reform Critics do not abandon their own ideas about the need for progressive changes in K-12 schooling, they critique in specific ways the current so-called school reform movement, focusing on education in a democracy, context and policy implications, teachers and teacher education, and diversity and social justice. Their insightful chapters make a major contribution to our thoughtful consideration of where...

Pervasive Vulnerabilities: Sexual Harassment in School
ISBN: 9781433112799 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Pervasive Vulnerabilities explores the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of adolescent girls and boys and female teachers in order to expose the continuing persistence of sexual harassment in the United States. The book addresses the sexual double standard that continues to hold girls and women accountable for male sexual aggression, and demonstrates that this double standard still dismisses males who harass young women with a cavalier -boys will be boys- attitude, while castigating young women if they express an interest in sexual expression. It discusses issues of sexual harassment...

Strong Community Service Learning; Philosophical Perspectives
ISBN: 9781433112447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.
Community Service Learning (CSL) is, potentially, the most powerful and far-reaching educational reform movement in recent memory. Yet, that potential has yet to be realized. One major reason for CSL s limited success is found in its runaway conceptual confusion: in becoming everything to everyone, CSL has lost its philosophical bearings and, not surprisingly, its practical value. This study attempts to restore CSL s philosophical bearings, arguing that there are particular... This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.

Becoming Educated: Young People's Narratives of Disadvantage, Class, Place and Identity
ISBN: 9781433122118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Becoming Educated examines the education of young people, especially those from the most disadvantaged contexts. The book argues that because the focus has been obdurately and willfully on the wrong things blaming students; measuring, testing and comparing them; and treating families and communities in demeaning ways that convert them into mere consumers that the resulting misdiagnoses have produced a damaging ensemble of faulty solutions. By shifting the emphasis to looking at what is going on inside young lives and communities, this book shifts the focus to matters such as taking...

Re-Engaging Disconnected Youth: Transformative Learning Through Restorative and Social Justice Education
ISBN: 9781433110047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As many young adults continue to disengage with learning each day, teachers and administrators struggle to find programming that re-engages secondary students with their schooling and communities. This book profiles one program that succeeds in doing so, and should serve as a model for others. In a Midwestern alternative school, three teachers built a curriculum around hands-on learning, restorative justice Talking Circles, and multicultural education, in the hopes that it would re-engage and inspire youth. Drawing on adult transformative learning theory, this book is an in-depth, qualitative...

Learning to Be an Individual delves into how the ideology of individualism shapes American personhood by examining socialization during early adolescence.

This long-awaited, solution-oriented book helps readers understand how inequality is organized in our public educational system. A four-component developmental model provides a policy-oriented framework that takes into account how children are socialized in and out of schools. Given an educational system that produces unequal opportunities for student learning, closing the gap requires thinking out of a box and the current conglomeration of social and economic policies. A multi-level strategy that aims for all to be educated at grade-level through a coordinated national strategy is presented...

Not a Stage is written for teachers, students, and scholars interested in the academic, social, and emotional needs of young adolescents. It is unique because it actively resists basing the practice, research, and theory of young adolescent education on developmentalism and the developmental stage of young adolescence.

Success Academy: How Native American Students Prepare for College (and How Colleges Can Prepare for Them)
ISBN: 9781433119460 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Picture two very different schools: one, a federal Indian boarding school emphasizing vocational training, where few graduates attend college. The other its neighbor an overwhelmingly white, land-grant university.
These two schools had little to no contact, until an innovative initiative turned things around. In the fall of 2000, the Flandreau Indian School began a reform effort, Success Academy, aimed at preparing all of its students for postsecondary education. Over the next decade South Dakota State University responded by committing 300 of its faculty and staff and $85,000 of its...
