Picture two very different schools: one, a federal Indian boarding school emphasizing vocational training, where few graduates attend college.

Over the next decade South Dakota State University responded by committing 300 of its faculty and staff and $85,000 of its...

Strong Community Service Learning; Philosophical Perspectives
ISBN: 9781433112447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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. 13-18 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...
