ISBN: 9781433112805 / Angielski / Twarda / 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.

Success Academy: How Native American Students Prepare for College (and How Colleges Can Prepare for Them)
ISBN: 9781433119453 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...

Not a Stage!: A Critical Re-Conception of Young Adolescent Education
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...

Much of school reform during the past decade has been influenced by neoliberal and neoconservative economic and social policies and Rightist politics.

Their insightful chapters make a major contribution to our thoughtful consideration of where...

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.

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

How do we react to tragedies when they occur? Education and crime are at the top of the list of concerns that parents and community members share. School violence is the issue and policy problem that joins these two priorities. In the wake of such incidents as the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado, Americans are clamoring for action.

Drawing on adult transformative learning theory, this book is an in-depth, qualitative...

ISBN: 9780820468020 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Even in an age of economic prosperity, there are young people who live on the edge of western societies and who are held accountable for their every indiscretion, sometimes even for those of others.

The narrative is pedagogical in intent, seeking to make sense of seemingly antisocial behavior, understood in the context of broader social, political, and economic concerns. In particular, it speaks to the -helping- professions of education, law, social...

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.

A Culture of Refusal: The Lives and Literacies of Out-Of-School Adolescents
ISBN: 9780820448718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. A Culture of Refusal is a unique attempt at representing a set of what William Ayers calls -multiply-marginalized- adolescents, situating the voices of migrant and incarcerated youth within out-of-school contexts in the fields and the streets, and ultimately, in the jails where these youth live and develop their own cultures of refusal. By exploring and analyzing these environments, this book searches for the ways in which a pragmatic, pro-active response to societal and institutional racism and violence may be nurtured through the adolescents own lives and literacies."
