Rough Justice: Young People in the Shadows
ISBN: 9780820468020 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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. This book employs a sociological imagination to make connections between the public issues and private troubles of youth living on the street. 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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

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 (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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."

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This book the finale in a trilogy by the authors traces the way in which a number of disadvantaged schools and communities were able to move beyond deficit, victim-blaming and pathologizing approaches and access resources of trust, relationships, connectedness and hope.

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

Teachers in the Middle; Reclaiming the Wasteland of the Adolescent Years of Schooling

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) There is a profound and deepening crisis afflicting secondary schools in most parts of the world - but at its essence it is a crisis of a very different kind from the one portrayed by the media, the business community, politicians, and policy makers. Just what constitutes the crisis is highly problematic. What is being constructed for us through a concerted conservative assault and a new authoritarianism is one of failure by young people, their schools, and their teachers. But as with any moral panic, there are undisclosed interests and agenda operating, and they are not those of the people...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Young people today are frequently demonized by media images as well as by classroom reports. Dominant discourses, as ways of seeing and talking about youths, are constructed and managed by adults and offer young people a limited set of roles to play and options for engaging with society. Contributors to Re/Constructing the -Adolescent- problematize the -social construction of the adolescent- through a critique of the discourses that position youths and an examination of how youths enact, contest, and sometimes transform those same discourses. These studies, combining empirical research...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

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

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

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 (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...
