This book overturns the typical conception of standards, empowering educators by providing concrete examples of how top-down models of assessment can be embraced and used in ways that are consistent with critical pedagogies. Although standards, as broad frameworks for setting learning targets, are not necessarily problematic, when they are operationalized as high-stakes assessments, test-based pedagogies emerge and frequently dominate the curriculum, leaving little room for...

Educational Yearning: The Journey of the Spirit and Democratic Education
ISBN: 9780820434865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. What room is there for a language of spirituality and the spirit in democratic forms of education? This is the question posed in this collection of essays by a broad range of scholars working in education. Beginning with the premise that postmodernism is associated with a re-spiritualization of culture, the authors seek to explore ways in which this re-spiritualization can be pushed in democratic rather than rightist or fundamentalist directions. What they celebrate is diversity of progressive traditions and discourses of spirituality that educators and other cultural workers can draw upon to...

Reconstructing School Mathematics: Problems with Problems and the Real World
ISBN: 9780820451039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book offers a critique of two major themes of the modern reform movement in mathematics education: problem solving and the applications of mathematics to the -real world-. In examining the educational fallacy inherent in the impulse to move unflinchingly from -problem- to -problem solving-, Stephen I. Brown demonstrates the potential of mathematical reflection to reveal aspects of self and society that have been suppressed in curriculum. He then argues that in seeking connections between mathematics and the -real world-, we have tended to reduce their relationship to one of modeling....

The possibilities that online platforms and new media technologies provide, in terms of human connection and the dissemination of information, are seemingly endless.

Education is easily available, democratic, and immersive. But is it worthwhile? Is the kind...

While American society has become more visual and digital, the general state of literacy in America is in crisis, with educators and public officials worried about falling educational standards, the rising influence of popular culture, and growing numbers of non-English-speaking immigrants. But how justified are these worries? By focusing on -reading-, this book takes a serious look at public literacy, but chooses not to blame the familiar scapegoats. Instead, The End of Reading proposes that in a diverse and rapidly...

Becoming a Teacher; Using Narrative as Reflective Practice. A Cross-Disciplinary Approach
ISBN: 9781433113307 / Angielski / Miękka / 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...
