Does Your Vote Count?: Critical Pedagogy and Democracy
ISBN: 9781433108129 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The public debate on democracy is often constrained within an alienating and disenfranchising narrative of opinion polls, campaign platforms, personalities and formal structures that generate legislation, all of which surreptitiously seems to trickle down to the classroom. Paul R. Carr asserts that democracy must be cultivated in a vigorous, conscientious, meaningful and critical way in and through education in order for it to have salience in society, especially within a neoliberal conjuncture that promotes limited space for epistemological interrogation of how we understand and are engaged...

At the Elbow of Another; Learning to Teach by Coteaching
ISBN: 9780820455679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. At the Elbow of Another is about teaching and learning to teach, written from the perspectives and experiences of two educators who teach and, in so doing, learn to teach. Teaching and learning to teach at the elbows of other teachers (including ourselves) provide us with new and different understandings and allow us to describe a different epistemology of teaching. We adopt a first-person perspective on teaching, sometimes our own and at other times that of peers but through the eyes of coparticipants engaged in an activity with the same primary intention of assisting students to...

Assault on Kids; How Hyper-Accountability, Corporatization, Deficit Ideologies, and Ruby Payne are Destroying Our Schools
ISBN: 9781433112287 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Hyper-accountability, corporatization, deficit ideology, and Ruby Payne's preparation of teachers to comply with these and other atrocities are not merely markers of philosophical shifts in education. They are manifestations of a neoliberal remaking of public schooling into a private and corporate enterprise. Collectively, these trends are seen not just as an imposition, but as an assault on quality pedagogy; an assault on democratic ideals of equity and social justice; and an assault on kids compelled to participate simply because they are public school students. This edited collection is a...

Out of Bounds explores the trajectories and challenges of exceptional men and women athletes who later became outstanding academic scholars.

ISBN: 9781433100611 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 147 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Escaping Education challenges the modern certainty that education is a universal good and a human right. It opens doors to alternative landscapes of learning and living that still flourish at the grassroots, within the cultures of the uneducated, the undereducated, and the illiterate who constitute the social majorities or the Two-Thirds World. It celebrates the richness of their traditions, their pluriverse of commons, common sense, and communal teaching, keeping at bay the modern reign of homo oeconomicus and homo educandus. Standing the all-too-familiar tale of education on its...

ISBN: 9780820457932 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Technology, Culture, and Socioeconomics is a journey toward a cultural politics of difference in technology discourses in education that explores possibilities for effecting sensibilities other than Western standardizations and hyperrealities. It includes knowings and practices that are dismissed or otherwise silenced because they do not fit Eurocentric epistemological framings. The author troubles the practice of doing research, including the right to know, collecting/analyzing data, and the (im)possibility of ethics within an academic frame of reference. This book is a dance with and...

Reimagining the Public Intellectual in Education: Making Scholarship Matter
ISBN: 9781433125201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. While the term -public intellectual- has been used to describe scholars who seek to share their re-search with the public, little work has been done to examine the role of a public intellectual in the field of education. This book builds upon the notion of the public intellectual in a way that makes the term more accessible, using it to refer to education scholars who seek to share their research outside of academia. Media coverage of educational issues is rife with self-appointed experts on education who have claimed space in public discussions to define educational problems and dominate...

While the authors of this book were team teaching a course called -High and Low Art: Good and Bad Taste-, the -Sensation- controversy at the Brooklyn Museum broke out.

The Time Is Now: Understanding and Responding to the Black and Latina/O Dropout Crisis in the U.S.
ISBN: 9781433123740 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The fact that 30% of all high school students and 50% of African American, Latina/o, and Native American students fail to graduate from high school is grounds for alarm in the United States. The Time Is Now argues that understanding and responding to the dropout crisis facing the United States has overlooked one major element school culture. Using the PUEDES approach as an analytical framework, this book highlights how schools matter and, in fact, hold many of the solutions that contribute to student engagement and disengagement in school, particularly among low-income students of...

Language, Nation, and Identity in the Classroom critiques the normalizing aspects of schooling and the taken-for-granted assumptions in education about culture, identity, language, and learning. The text applies theories of postmodernism, postcolonialism, and other critical cultural theories from disciplines often overlooked in the field of education. The authors illustrate the potential of these theories for educators, offering a nuanced critical analysis of the role schools play in nationalistic enterprises and colonial projects.

In this provocative collection of essays with a distinctly critical and nuanced approach to how democracy is taught, learned, understood, and lived, authors from four continents share their visions on how democracy needs to be cultivated, critiqued, demonstrated, and manifested throughout the educational experience.

Educational Psychology: Disrupting the Dominant Discourse- Second Printing
ISBN: 9780820441306 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The work presented in this book represents a shift in thinking about the discipline of educational psychology. Traditionally, a discipline is considered to be a neutral, objective, scientifically validated body of knowledge. A critical reading of the discipline s discourse, however, reveals how the discipline s -truth- is embedded in social, political, and cultural contexts. When these influences are recognized, the commonsense, taken-for-granted, and often oppressive concepts and practices of the discipline can be questioned and critiqued. This critical perspective encourages a more rigorous...

On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
ISBN: 9781433125256 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This text articulates how and why suffering can be pedagogical in character and how it is often key to authentic and meaningful acts of teaching and learning. This is an ancient idea from the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus (c. 525 BCE) pathei mathos or -learning through suffering-. In our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs, we explore how the pedagogy that can come from suffering becomes obscured and something vital to a rich and vibrant pedagogy can be lost. This collection threads through...
