Strong Community Service Learning: Philosophical Perspectives
ISBN: 9781433112430 / Angielski / Miękka / 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.

ISBN: 9780820439815 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 101 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. When talking about marginality and -otherness-, one must always ask, marginal to what? Other to whom? Complex issues of identity construction have been the focus of research on students who, whether based on race, gender, class, or ability, define themselves or are defined as being on the margins of school life. Making Schools Work examines this question in its presentation of the results of a longitudinal study of academic achievement and pre-college enrichment. Discussions focus on how students construct their identities with regard to race because of the history of problems...

ISBN: 9781433106255 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

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...

Do we live in a democracy? Have we ever practiced democratic education? Will our children and grandchildren inherit a sane or sick society and political order? Those are some of the profound questions that this book tackles, within a broad and evocative conversation on civic literacy in America. Amid calls for academic standardization and high-stakes testing, civic education, once a cornerstone of public schools, has been relegated to a tertiary space. The eloquent voices in this...

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.

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...

ISBN: 9781433116339 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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. The purpose of this book is to begin to reorient the discourse on young adolescent growth and change and in turn reconceptualize the education of young adolescents. The book infuses a contingent, recursive conception of adolescent growth and change into the discourse...

What s it like for Black male students who are openly gay or -gender non-conforming- to navigate the social geography of urban schools?

The book provides a set of insights into what is possible from a critical engagement for school and community...
