ISBN: 9780820468129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Most historical and theoretical work on school administration choice has focused on the importance of race and class, with increased attention to gender during the past two decades.

The Social Construction of Educational Leadership: Southern Appalachian Ceilings addresses decisions about who is chosen to lead public schools, and how they do it. Using their research on senior-level public school leaders in the southern mountains of North...

ISBN: 9781433120022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The impact that First Person Shooter video games have had on the evolution of youth culture over a decade or more has been the focus of attention from political leaders; medical and legal specialists; and the mass media. Much of the discussion concerning these games has focused on the issues of the violence that is depicted in the games and on the perceived psychological and social costs for individuals and society. What is not widely canvassed in the public debate generated by violent video games is the role that military-themed games play in the wider process of militarization. The...

Learning Relations: Impure Education, Deschooled Schools, and Dialogue with Evil
ISBN: 9780820451794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book develops an educational theory centered around the notion of relation. Alexander M. Sidorkin defines learning as the production of useless things and shows that problems of learning motivation are more institutional than individual or cultural. He then argues that contemporary mass schools are difficult to manage. The solution to the resulting authority crisis is not in the restoration of authority, but in the pedagogy of relation. The key to learning motivation is in what Sidorkin describes as -economy of relations, - a mechanism where personal relations between students and...

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...

This book focuses on how ideologies of literacy influence literacy instruction and bilingual education policies.

Crash Politics and Antiracism: Interrogations of Liberal Race Discourse
ISBN: 9781433102455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Crash Politics and Antiracism argues that race and racism continue to script the social fabric in Euro-North America. While dominant discourses claim that we have made significant progress away from racial bigotry, there is no shortage of evidence that inequitable ideologies of race prevail. Similarly, mainstream cinematic productions have mass appeal, yet tend to demonstrate and cement the racial ideologies that circulate in society. As such, they can be used either for the propagation of dominant ideologies or in the development of critical consciousness. Crash Politics and...

Many of the constituent disciplines in the social sciences resonate with this trend by using life history and narrative approaches and methods. As we move on from the modernist period which prioritised objectivity into the postmodern regard for subjectivity, this resort to narrative is likely to become more apparent and explicit in academic as well as social and commercial discourse.
One aspect of this narrative form which is commonly overlooked is that of the pedagogic encounter. This is the phenomenon which is... It is widely recognised that we are living through an age of the narrative . Many of the constituent disciplines in the social sciences resonate with ...

Ninth grader Sasha Pringle, one of the student voices in Classroom Calypso, asserts that such a self-effacing posture empowers students by -releasing the writer within, - thereby fostering a critical, creative, and reflective disposition. Winthrop R. Holder re-represents students not as marginalized beings merely absorbing information but as subjects taking center stage and inscribing themselves into history. On their literary pilgrimage seeking self-knowledge, students, employing tale-telling, recast their...
