ISBN: 9781433111198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Signs exist as fundamental markers of the urban landscape. Whether in the form of street signs offering directions, the airbrushed promises of advertising media or the vandalized detournements of street art, signs pervade urban spaces and provide a tangible text upon which the logics of both cities and ourselves are written. Cities of Signs charts the way that signs exist as key elements of contemporary urban space, and explores what it means to live within these spaces, amongst cities of signs. This refreshing take on the way that urban space is lived and experienced is a timely...

ISBN: 9781433128127 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Grounded in the belief that hope comes from a place of reality, not necessarily popular ideology, this book explores the gap between designated and actual narratives within Teach For America. TFA founder Wendy Kopp stated that there is -nothing elusive- about successful teaching; people simply need to -work hard- and be -disciplined-. Taking an inquiry stance, Sarah Matsui surveyed and interviewed 26 of her fellow corps members in the Greater Philadelphia region. Their counternarratives collectively problematize this standard reform rhetoric. Many are working hard, yet their stories 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...

Becoming a Teacher: Using Narrative as Reflective Practice: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach
ISBN: 9781433113314 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Becoming a Teacher revisits the concept of Teacher Lore (Schubert and Ayers, 1992), by providing a cross-disciplinary approach linking elements of narrative theory to all aspects of pre- and in-service teaching. In essence, it embraces the notion that what teachers say matters. The rationale behind this text is the idea that narrative can not only be a conceptual lens through which a particular discipline can be re-examined, but also an aid to help preservice teachers understand the potential importance of personal experience and reflective ways of knowing as they learn to become...

Mediacology: A Multicultural Approach to Media Literacy in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780820497075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Traditional media literacy models are mostly left-brained, inherited from the legacy of alphabetic literacy, the Gutenberg press revolution, and industrial mass media production. New digital media radically alter the environment: their nonlinear, multisensory, field-like properties are more right-brain oriented. Consequently, rather than focus exclusively on deconstructing the products of design objects (such as an advertisement -text-), digital learning should respond to the design of the system itself, including cultural and cognitive bias.
