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

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.

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."
