Berghahn Books Two Lives in Uncertain Times: Facing the
Book Synopsis Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. Wilma and Georg Iggers came from different backgrounds, Wilma from a Jewish farming family from the German-speaking border area of Czechoslovakia, Georg from a Jewish business family from Hamburg. They both escaped with their parents from Nazi persecution to North America where they met as students. As a newly married couple they went to the American South where they taught in two historic Black colleges and were involved in the civil rights movement. In 1961 they began going to West Germany regularly not only to do research but also to further reconciliation between Jews and Germans, while at the same time in their scholarly work contributing to a critical confrontation with the German past. After overcoming first apprehensions, they soon felt Göttingen to be their second home, while maintaining their close involvements in America. After 1966 they frequently visited East Germany and Czechslovakia in an attempt to build bridges in the midst of the Cold War. The book relates their very different experiences of childhood and adolescence and then their lives together over almost six decades during which they endeavored to combine their roles as parents and scholars with their social and political engagements. In many ways this is not merely a dual biography but a history of changing conditions in America and Central Europe during turbulent times.Trade Review Reactions to the German edition: “What among the advantages of this book has to be counted is the fact that the authors were fully aware of the political and social situation during the various stages of their lives and able to reflect on it.” • H-German (H-Net)Table of Contents Preface Chapter 1.

University of Huddersfield The lives and work of 12 further education based
Book SynopsisThis publication was inspired by the work of two Dutch teacher educators, Peter Lorist and Anja Swennen, who have done so much to promote understanding of the lives and work of teacher educators. What is distinctive about this booklet is that it exclusively focuses on one type of teacher educator working in one country: further education (FE) based teacher educators in England. Building on Noel's research into the 'secret life' of the FE based teacher educator, this booklet incorporates the directly told stories of 12 FE based teacher educators together with discussion and analysis which explores how they became teachers and then teacher educators. It considers the context of their work and explicates some common themes. Petrie asserted that 'writing about FE is.to draw a map' of it. As such, this booklet adds new detail to the still largely underdeveloped 'map' of FE initial teacher education. It is both an invitation to researchers to identify 'areas of the map for exploration' and a resource for teacher educators, particularly, those inducting and working with FE's new teacher educators.

Otago University Press I am five and I go to school: Early Years
Book SynopsisThe twentieth century was a time of great change in early years education. As the century opened, the use of Froebel's kindergarten methods infiltrated more infant classrooms. The emergence of psychology as a discipline, and especially its work on child development, was beginning to influence thinking about how infants learn through play. While there were many teachers who maintained Victorian approaches in their classrooms, some others experimented, were widely read and a few even travelled to the US and Europe and brought new ideas home. As well, there was increasing political support for new approaches to the "new education" ideas at the turn of the century. All was not plain sailing, however, and this book charts both the progress made and the obstacles overcome in the course of the century, as the nation battled its way through world wars and depressions. It's an interesting story as the author discusses changes in school buildings, teaching practice and teacher education, the teaching of reading and other curriculum areas, Maori education and the emergence of kohanga reo and the teaching of Maori language in primary schools. Along the way we meet a range of individuals, including C.E. Beeby, Sylvia Ashton-Warner, Gwen Somerset, Don Holdaway, Elwyn Richardson, Marie Bell and Marie Clay and the many less well-known but significant people who worked in or influenced early years education. We also meet many well-known New Zealanders who have recounted their first days at school. This is a fascinating account of a rich history that has involved us all. And yes, school milk gets a mention.Table of Contents1 Introduction: The Youngest at School -- 2 Rethinking the Early Years, 1900s-1920s -- 3 Experiments and Expediency, 1910s-1930s -- 4 Politics of Playway, 1940s-1950s -- 5 Alternative Solutions, 1960s-1980s -- 6 Measuring Juniors, 1980s-2000s.

Granville Island Publishing A Path of Their Own: Helping Children to Educate
Book SynopsisLael Whitehead tells how she took her children out of school and allowed them to learn from life in a natural, self-directed way, without curriculum, grades, discipline or rewards. Whitehead describes the various ways in which her three daughters each designed their own unique educations. She introduces her concept of radical respect as the cornerstone of compassionate parenting. Sharing stories from her own experience, she shows that when children are deeply respected seen as they are, and not as we might wish them to be they flourish, both emotionally and intellectually. Respectful parenting allows children to trust their own instincts and to pursue their individual passions and curiosities. They grow up to be creative, resilient and inner-directed adults who stay open and engaged with the world throughout their lives.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Conflicts in Curriculum Theory: Challenging
Book SynopsisSince its original publication, Conflicts in Curriculum Theory has firmly established itself as the key volume that not only advanced alternative ways to think about education and curriculum but also introduced innovative scholarship and a radical conceptual grammar for the field. In this revised second edition, Paraskeva addresses current epistemological shifts and avenues within and beyond counter-dominant Eurocentric curriculum perspectives. In this second edition, which includes a new introduction, he provides a critical examination of the modern Eurocentric curriculum and introduces readers to new theoretically rich concepts of "curriculum momentism," "curriculum involution", and "curriculum Occidentosis", pushing the curriculum debate far beyond the classical Eurocentric matrix.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon Science with Street Value – A Physicist′s
Book SynopsisIn his groundbreaking book, Predictions: Society's Telltale Signature Reveals the Past and Forecasts the Future, Theodore Modis showed readers a fascinating new way to understand our society and ourselves by applying fundamental scientific concepts to predicting social phenomena. Now he pushes his physics-applied-to-life approach further and unearths street value in scientific findings. He shows that some fundamental truths cast into scientific laws are ubiquitous and enter our lives in subtle ways that we may not be aware of. In a kind of twenty-first century version of Plato's dialogues he offers new insights on life's many possibilities and ambiguities everywhere from managing business and personal relationships to finding purpose in one's existence. This book will titillate the mind of all science-friendly readers.Trade Review"This book transcends scientific boundaries and will intrigue scientists and non-scientists alike." Prof. Athanasios G.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon The Multicultural Classroom – Learning from
Book SynopsisThe scope of multilingualism and multiculturalism within societies is increasing on a global scale. As this is happening, discussions are emerging concerning the significance of including a variety of perspectives in classroom discourse as well as the imperative of ridding it of a prevailing monocultural straitjacket. Against the backdrop of these changing realities, authors have advocated for a revision and adaptation of current teaching methodology and classroom materials in order to do greater justice to an increasingly diverse student population. This book presents the findings from a qualitative research project conducted in Australia, a country acclaimed for its linguistic and cultural diversity. Specifically, the study investigated the educational context of Indigenous Australian learners by shedding light on the incorporation of First Nations perspectives in teaching materials and methodology. Additionally, the project identified therewith-related challenges and possibilities for improvement. The results provide insights into the multifacetedness of language- as well as culture-related factors, which prove vital for learning processes. Moreover, the results reveal the complexities arising in connection with the incorporation of First Nations perspectives in classroom discourse. The data also point towards dimensions for improvement and recommendations for action for educators working in diverse classroom settings. As growing linguistic and cultural diversity has become a global reality, this volume, addressing Australian First Nations perspectives, offers an important contribution to the field of contemporary education.Trade ReviewJasmin Peskollers detailed and comprehensive research into the significance and importance of students first language and culture as it impacts on their learning is sure to inspire significant change in classrooms. I believe her passion and soundly presented argument, supported by practical strategies for educators, will have a lasting impact on educational policies and therefore on individual lives. She is inspiring a renewed interest, awareness and appreciation of the linguistic and cultural challenges speakers of minority languages, in particular speakers of Aboriginal languages and Aboriginal English, have in our classrooms. What I hope for is that Australia will harness its rich cultural and linguistic heritage as an educational force. Aboriginal English should be recognised as a language in its own right to the extent that it is a requirement for every Australian trainee teacher to complete a unit in it. Reading this monograph would be a great start. Margaret James, Linguist and Indigenous Education Specialist, Founder of 'The Honey Ant Readers'

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Teachers Are Sculptors
Book SynopsisThe world''s noblest profession but the most undervalued, thankless profession is that of teachers. If you have ever reflected seriously on the role of a teacher and his/her influence in shaping your life, you will find this book both inspiring and enlightening. True, we have come a long way from our ancient tradition which held the teacher as an exemplar, a role-model, guru and mentor; but Dada J P Vaswani tells us how the teacher can still be a force to reckon with today, in the spiritual, intellectual and emotional unfolding of the students. Inspired by the insights of his Master, Sadhu Vaswani, who was himself a great educationist and vastly admired and revered Professor and Principal, Dada J P Vaswani reveals new facets of the ideal teacher; a lamp-lighter, a sculptor, a builder, a moulder and shaper of the Spirit, a gardener who cultivates character, a torch-bearer and transmitter of values and ideals, and above all -- a friend! Dada''s profound observations are all the more valuable, coming as they do from an ideal, top-ranking, award-winning star student who turned out to be a much loved and respected teacher and one of India''s foremost spiritual leaders! Turn the pages of this book and get a few glimpses of Dada''s memorable portrait of an ideal teacher!

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Education: The Hope for a Better World
Book SynopsisEducation, the urge and the power to better oneself, differentiates man from animal kind. For millennia, education has been looked upon as the means to liberate man from all evils and tyrannies. It has been looked upon as the means to bring about a revolution within a man and uplift humanity inside out. However, in recent times, it has been used as the force that separates the haves from the have-nots, as a tool of oppression and deceit, and a means of extending illegitimate control over intellectual landscapes. This book shows us that if ideal individuals can be developed in our educational institutions, we would automatically get ideal homes, an ideal society, ideal work force, ideal economy, ideal government and happiness. It would be an invaluable book for policy makers, students and general readers.
