Taylor & Francis Ltd Small Schools
Book SynopsisWhen education activists in New York, Chicago, and other urban school districts in the 1980s began the small-schools movement, they envisioned a new kind of public school system that was fair and equitable and that encouraged new relationships between teachers and students. When that movement for school reform ran head-on into the neo-conservative takeover of the Department of Education and its No Child Left Behind strategy for school change, a new model of federal power bent on the erosion of public space and the privatization of public schooling emerged. Michael and Susan Klonsky, educators who were among the early leaders of the small-schools movement, tell the story of how a once-promising model of creating new small and charter schools has been used by the neocons to reproduce many of the old inequities. Small Schools is the engaging story of what happens when the small-schools movement meets the Ownership Society. Trade Review"For all those in America and elsewhere concerned about not simply giving into the models of education that have been imposed from above by a decidedly right-wing government, this is an informative and useful book." -- Teachers College Record, June 30, 2008Table of ContentsIntro: Two Trains Running 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Science Education from People for People
Book SynopsisContributing to the social justice agenda of redefining what science is and what it means in the everyday lives of people, this book introduces science educators to various dimensions of viewing science and scientific literacy from the standpoint of the learner, engaged with real everyday concerns within or outside school; develops a new form of scholarship based on the dialogic nature of science as process and product; and achieves these two objectives in a readable but scholarly way. Opposing the tendency to teach and do research as if science, science education, and scientific literacy could be imposed from the outside, the authors want science education to be for people rather than strictly about how knowledge gets into their heads. Taking up the challenges of this orientation, science educators can begin to make inroads into the currently widespread irrelevance of science in the everydayTable of ContentsPreface 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Multicultural Analysis of Childrens
Book SynopsisChildren's literature is a contested terrain, as is multicultural education. Taken together, they pose a formidable challenge to both classroom teachers and academics. Rather than deny the inherent conflicts and tensions in the field, in Critical Multicultural Analysis of Children's Literature: Mirrors, Windows, and Doors, Maria José Botelho and Masha Kabakow Rudman confront, deconstruct, and reconstruct these terrains by proposing a reframing of the field. Surely all of us children, teachers, and academics can benefit from this more expansive understanding of what it means to read books. Sonia Nieto, From the ForewordCritical multicultural analysis provides a philosophical shift for teaching literature, constructing curriculum, and taking up issues of diversity and social justice. It problematizes children's literature, offers a way of reading power, explores the complex web of sociopolitical relations, and deconstructs taken-for-granted assumptions about language, Trade Review"This book is particularly useful for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers interested in designing curriculum for reading children’s literature with a sociopolitical context in mind….By thoughtfully integrating both classroom practice and theory across the book, Botelho and Rudman equip readers with valuable reading strategies to "guide children in reading dominant discourses of race, class, and gender and identify how ideology is rendered in the materials they read" (p. 94)."--Language ArtsTable of ContentsForeword, Sonia NietoPrefaceAcknowledgmentsChapter 1 The Metaphors We Read By: Theoretical Foundations Chapter 2 The Historical Construction of Children’s Literature Chapter 3 Reading Literacy NarrativesChapter 4 Deconstructing Multiculturalism in Children’s Literature Chapter 5 Theorizing Critical Multicultural Analysis of Children’s LiteratureChapter 6 Doors to the Diaspora: The Social Construction of Race Chapter 7 Leaving Poverty Behind: The Social Construction of ClassChapter 8 Genres as Social Constructions: The Intertextuality of Children’s LiteratureChapter 9 Cinderella: The Social Construction of GenderChapter 10 Shock of Hair: The Endurance of Hair as a Cultural Theme in Children’s LiteratureChapter 11 Teaching Critical Multicultural AnalysisFurther Dialogue with Mingshui Cai, Patrick Shannon, and Junko YokotaAPPENDICESAppendix A Children’s Book AwardsAppendix B Children’s Book PublishersAppendix C Power Continuum: How Power is ExercisedAppendix D Critical Multicultural AnalysisAppendix E The Publishing Practices of the Mexican American Migrant Farmworker Text Collection Appendix F Children’s Literature JournalsAppendix G Online Resources

Taylor & Francis Ltd Outdoor and Experiential Learning An Holistic and
Book SynopsisOutdoor and experiential learning has advanced in leaps and bounds over the last 20 years. Educators and developers in the Czech and Slovak Republics have been unexpected leaders in the field; the result of isolation of the country under communism and a unique mix of culture and geography. This book offers a guide to the theory and techniques, pioneered by the Czechs and Slovaks, including the concept of dramaturgy, a process involving elements of learning psychology, role play and theatre that concentrates on physical, social, creative and reflective/emotional learning states. It also includes a full set of guidelines for designing outdoor and experiential events, along with complete instructions for 30 games. The authors provide design opportunities to be more creative in the development of young people, as well as older learners and those involved in corporate management education.Trade Review'For teachers, outdoor instructors and corporate trainers this should prove a fascinating and useful text, and a goad to go out and try something new.' Massey (Australia), November 2004 'The book is a 'must' for anyone involved in outdoor and experiential education who wishes to read more about the process and psychology of learning and to understand how to develop an adaptive approach to course design that allows you to 'go with the flow' and generate exceptional results.' Training Journal 'Martin, Franc and Zounková are thus to be congratulated on their largely successful efforts to convey some of the spirit behind this approach.' Horizons, December 2004 '...the book deserves real credit for articulating the approach in a challenging, stimulating, and ultimately practical manner.' TrainingZone, March 2005 'The book deserves real credit for articulating the approach in a challenging, stimulating, and ultimately practical manner.' Accounting WebTable of ContentsContents: Part I Theory - Methods and Application: The evolution of a holistic process; Theoretical underpinnings of dramaturgy; The five stages of dramaturgy. Part II Practice - Course and Games: A team approach to programming; Running enhanced courses; Using games in the programme; Game logistics; Part III Games - Description and Logistics: Games introduction; Social games; Physical games; Creative games; Psychological (reflective/emotional) games; Summary and Conclusions; Appendix - Outward Bound; Bibliography; Index.
