New York University Press Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World
Book SynopsisExamines some of the best practices in education in the context of an increasingly interconnected worldTrade ReviewCourtney Ross has devoted her life to holistic education for young people. Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World tells the marvelous story of how one day they will be our future leaders and help create a peaceful, just, sustainable and healthy society. -- Deepak ChopraFor more than two decades, everything that carries Courtney Ross’ imprint has symbolized international, out-of-the-box originality, especially through her efforts in education. One extraordinary example of this was the 2001 Sonic Convergence: A Glimpse Into the Global Classroom project. I was involved, both in person and through the use of cutting edge media, mentoring students and faculty participating in the USA, China, and Sweden; then we came together and made beautiful music as I conducted their final, global composition. -- Quincy JonesIve always believed that education is freedom. It opens the door to greater possibilities. In my lifes work in education, Ive turned to Courtney Ross to provide insight and inspiration. The Ross School is an exemplary model of what is attainable for global education in the 21st Century. -- Oprah WinfreyCourtney Ross and I are co-workers in the vineyard of the education of the young. I was inspired when I visited the Ross School years ago. In my own work in founding the now 20-years-old Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA), I appreciated the unique qualities of Ross. The Ross School model is clearly a profound example of what the nation and the world needs so desperately. -- Leon M. Lederman,Nobel Laureate in PhysicsWhen I visited the Long Island Ross School I was struck by the way Courtney Ross and her team successfully brought together the elements of an effective school: reflective teachers, innovative curriculum, and student-centered instruction. It is no wonder that the school has been a magnet for some of the most influential education thinkers of our time. In Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World, Suarez-Orozco and Sattin-Bajaj have created a multi-faceted meditation on the ever-evolving Ross model of education, with relevant lessons for educators everywhere. -- Kathleen McCartney,Dean, Harvard Graduate School of EducationTable of ContentsForeword Nick Appelbaum Acknowledgments Introduction Marcelo M.

The University of Alabama Press Bringing Montessori to America S S McClure Maria
Book SynopsisTraces in engrossing detail one of the most fascinating partnerships in the history of American education - that between Maria Montessori and S.S. McClure, from their first meeting in 1910 until their final acrimonious dispute in 1915.Trade Review“Exploring information heretofore overlooked, the work studies how Montessori education was influenced by the relationship between S. S. McClure and Maria Montessori, as well as what might have been had the two not experienced their dispute regarding control of the process and resultant feud.” - CHOICE“Bringing Montessori to America is a fascinating book about Maria Montessori and S. S. McClure, the man who brought her to America. This work reads like a novel. There is intrigue, deception, great highs and very low lows in the relationship befitting a great drama.” - Vitae Scholasticae, 2016“Bringing Montessori to America is one of the first and perhaps only treatments of the relationship between S. S. McClure and Maria Montessori—a relationship that, had it not gone awry, could have institutionalized Montessori’s promising ‘auto-education’ theory in the United States. This study should be a staple and case study for communications departments across the United States.” - Karen L. Riley, author of Schools Behind Barbed Wire: The Untold Story of Wartime Internment and the Children of Arrested Enemy Aliens“The Guteks provide a unique view of McClure’s and Montessori’s power struggle over how to present Montessori’s method, leading to a better understanding of the split between the American Montessori Society and the Association Montessori Internationale. Scholarly without being dense, this engaging book will appeal to a wide range of readers.” - Martha May Tevis, professor, Department of Education, University of Texas–Pan American

The University of Alabama Press More Than Science and Sputnik
Book SynopsisSparked by dramatic Soviet achievements, particularly in nuclear technology and the development of the Sputnik space orbiter, the United States responded in the late 1950s with an extraordinary federal investment in education. This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the National Defense Education Act.Trade ReviewIf the National Defense Education Act of 1958 (NDEA) were a food, it would be Spam. Like that iconic Cold War–era tin of fallout shelter fare, the NDEA story that we serve up in our history books has been processed so many times we have no idea what ingredients actually went into making it. Although no one may ever know what really goes into Spam, thanks to Wayne J. Urban’s first-rate new history, More than Science and Sputnik, we now know more about the history of the NDEA than ever before. Well written and rigorously researched, Urban’s book is an important addition to the historical literature. . . . Urban’s meticulous examination of the act’s key architects marks the book’s most important contribution."" - History of Education Quarterly""This is a powerful history; its integration with ongoing policy issues makes it outstanding. This is Wayne Urban at his best."" - Historical Studies in Education""The National Defense Education Act broke a log-jam of opposition to federal aid to elementary and secondary education in 1958. Many believe that the launch of the Soviet’s Sputnik satellite enabled the bill’s proponents to get it through Congress. But historians have pointed out that the scientific community’s pressure for science and math education started long before Sputnik. Now Wayne Urban’s exciting new book takes that argument a big step farther. He argues that we must see this in the more general context of the agendas of politicians like Congressman Carl Elliott and Senator Lister Hill, white liberals from Alabama, to achieve federal education aid in any form, for whatever reason. They allied with President Eisenhower and the young Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Elliott Richardson, to move the NDEA through Congress, each for his own reasons. Urban’s assessment is loaded with fresh insights about the meaning and legacy of this act for the various players, including also the scientific community and the National Education Association. Bravo."" - Carl Kaestle, Professor Emeritus of Education, History and Public Policy at Brown University and coeditor of Print in Motion: The Expansion of Publishing and Reading in the United States, 1880-1945""The passage of the National Defense Education Act broke the dam of a hundred years of federal inaction in American education; its passage was an essential precursor to the landmark legislation of the 1960s and transformed the federal role in education in America."" - Mary Allen Jolley, Legislative Clerk, House of Representatives Subcommittee on Special Education, 1957–58

Anthem Press The Financial History of Cambridge University
Book SynopsisThe University of Cambridge, having suffered hard times before and after the First World War, prospered during the post-war years up until the 1970s. During that period British governments were generous to universities, and respected their independence. As this attitude dissolved, Cambridge obtained a surge in non-government research grants and contracts, and became world famous. But it is now suffering from a financial squeeze caused by repeated cuts in government funding, accompanied by a tide of political intervention. Using the university’s financial records and other statistics, Robert Neild traces the nature and scale of these changes and how they have affected the character of the university, plotting its financial history from 1850 to the present day.Trade Review‘Neild is to be thanked and congratulated for shining a light into the murky finances not only of Trinity Cambridge as Oxbridge’s wealthiest college […] but now also of the University of Cambridge itself.’ —David Palfreyman, Bursar of New College, University of Oxford, in ‘Oxford Magazine’‘Prof Robert Neild of Trinity has turned his attention to a detailed study of Cambridge University finances… Until the Second World War, the educational aspect of university life was less important than the opportunity it gave rich young men to establish friendships with others… Prof Neild glimpsed the last of those days when he himself was at Trinity in 1957.’ —Mike Petty, ‘Cambridge News’Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; Preface; List of Tables and Charts; Chapter 1 Financial Infancy and Reform; Chapter 2 Impoverishment; Chapter 3 The Government Steps In; Chapter 4 The Inter-war Years and the 1939–45 War; Chapter 5 The Acquisition of Land for Expansion; Chapter 6 The Ancien Régime; Chapter 7 Government Policy since 1945; Chapter 8 Income and Expenditure since 1945; Index

Ewing reads well "between the lines" to note how the "success" of girls' schools revealed how girls had been shortchanged in coeducational settings, even though girls also expressed stronger opposition to separation than did boys. -- James Albisetti, University of KentuckyRelying on an impressive range of original sources, Ewing's study is the first to examine the implementation of separate education in 1943, the growing opposition to it, and the reasons for a return to coeducation in 1954. Separate Schools confronts multiple issues critical to an understanding of Soviet history as well as of education and gender. -- Larry E. Holmes, University of South Alabama

Taylor & Francis Ltd National and Religious Ideologies in the
Book SynopsisDocumenting the reception of the pre-eminent Austrian school reformer Johann Ignaz Felbiger and his pedagogical thought in European histories of education in the nineteenth century, this volume demonstrates how national and religious ideological preferences have propelled the construction of fundamental biases in educational historiography. Covering more than 200 years and multiple national contexts, this book's case studies of France and Switzerland, as well as close analysis of historical documents and textbooks, reveal how a canon of glorified historical heroes have been promoted over and above other educational actors, with the aim of morally instructing future teachers according to national and religious values. Based on a strong array of historical sources, the author demonstrates how biased educational historiographies are utilized in gaining support for certain pedagogical and curricula models.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Literacies in Times of Disruption
Book SynopsisThe wide-ranging disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic altered the experiences of place, technology, time, and school for students. This book explores how students' responses to these extraordinary times shaped their identities as learners and writers, as well as their perceptions of education.This book traces the voices of a diverse group of university students, from first-year to doctoral students, over the first two years of the pandemic. Students discussed the effects of having their homes forced to serve as classrooms, work, and living spaces, as they also navigated much of school and life through their digital screens. The affective and embodied experiences of this disruption and uncertainty, and the memories and narratives constructed from those experiences, challenged and remade students' relationships with place, digital media, and school itself. Understanding students' perceptions of these times has implications for imagining innovative and empathetic approaches to l

It should not be missed by any scholar who is in the field of comparative and international education, history, sociology, political science, and/or developmental studies, and by practitioners in educational policy, politics and development ... In just one volume the broad, historical overview is provided of the interaction between of educational systems and state formation." - Jun Li, Chinese University of Hong Kong "Nevertheless, it is not the successful articulation between economics and education that most interests Andy Green, but rather the role played by education in the state formation of developmental states. To the extent that these states' principal goal is an economic one, these two levels are often confused, and it is perhaps Green's insistent attempts to separate them that is one of his work's most interesting contributions." - EinzelbelsprechungTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis John Wesley and the Education of Children
Book SynopsisScholars have historically associated John Wesleyâs educational endeavours with the boarding school he established at Kingswood, near Bristol, in 1746. However, his educational endeavours extended well beyond that single institution, even to non-Methodist educational programmes. This book sets out Wesleyâs thinking and practice concerning child-rearing and education, particularly in relation to gender and class, in its broader eighteenth-century social and cultural context.Drawing on writings from Churchmen, Dissenters, economists, philosophers and reformers as well as educationalists, this study demonstrates that the political, religious and ideological backdrop to Wesleyâs work was neither static nor consistent. It also highlights Wesleyâs eighteenth-century fellow Evangelicals including Lady Huntingdon, John Fletcher, Hannah More and Robert Raikes to demonstrate whether Wesleyâs thinking and practice around schooling was in any way unique. This study sheds light on Trade Review"Linda A. Ryan’s thoroughly researched book provides a valuable contribution to the history of children’s education. Exploring John Wesley’s beliefs about schooling, Ryan considers how Wesley developed a philosophy which simultaneously rejected and wove together ‘Enlightenment’ ideals about nurturing the individual with eighteenth-century English concerns centred on the moulding of children’s religious characters. Ryan’s book successfully illustrates that anxieties surrounding the appropriate ways to educate children are not new, although the challenges may change." —Anna French, University of Liverpool, Journal of Ecclesiastical HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1 Child-rearing and Education in Eighteenth-century England; 2 Influences that helped shape John Wesley’s Educational Thinking; 3 The Implementation of John Wesley’s Thinking on Education; 4 Educating Pauper Children: 1723-1780; 5 Kingswood Boarding School: 1746-1780; 6 Growing Tension between Education and Evangelism: 1760-1791; 7 Educating Pauper Children after 1780; Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Finding Our Way Home
Book SynopsisFinding Our Way Home: Women's Accounts of Being Sent to Boarding School shares the personal stories of sixteen women, all of whom were sent away to board at an early age. Their accounts delve into the depths of long suppressed emotions and feelings, and the lifelong impact that the early separation from their families has had. Much has been written about the impact of boarding school syndrome' on male boarders, but less about their female counterparts. This book is the first to explore the experience from a purely female perspective, and offers an intriguing insight into the world of boarding schools and the upbringing of girls born in the mid-to-late 20th century. Finding Our Way Home is a book for everyone who ever attended boarding school, as well as psychotherapists and counsellors working with boarding school survivors. Trade ReviewThe stories in this volume contribute women’s voices to the more well known ones of men who suffered in boarding schools.A compelling read; each individual history adds to the picture of the trauma inflicted on children by the separation from their families. These tales from different generations build a picture of the ubiquity of the enduring emotional damage of this tradition. Professor Joy Schaverien Author of Boarding School Syndrome: The Psychological Trauma of the ‘Privileged’ Child. ‘Finding Our Way Home’ is a wonderful resource for those wanting to know more about how boarding school affects people when they are in an institution and what happens to them in life beyond. The evidence provided by these stories very much enriches our understanding of females who have boarded in the last 60 years and more recently. I would highly recommend it to anyone researching this field and who seeks authentic voices of those who have lived through this experience.Allison Paech, Educationalist, CambridgeEvery child has the right to be small, dependent and living with their loved ones at home. In this collection of women’s stories each one evokes the voice of her young self as she writes about her boarding school experiences. This can help us gain some insight into the ‘madness’ and at times, unspeakable cruelty that boarding means to many. . . By speaking out, these women will hopefully move and inspire others who seek to understand why their symptoms of being a boarding school survivor will not simply go away.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Constructing and Reconstructing Childhood
Book Synopsis When the first edition of this seminal work appeared in 1990, the sociology of childhood was only just beginning to emerge as a distinct sub-discipline. Drawing together strands of existing sociological writing about childhood and shaping them into a new paradigm, the original edition of this Routledge Classic offered a potent blend of ideas that informed, even inspired, many empirical studies of children's lives because it provided a unique lens through which to think about childhood. Featuring a collection of articles which summarised the developments in the study of childhood across the social sciences, including history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, feminist and developmental studies, scholars and professionals from developed and developing countries world-wide shared their knowledge of having worked and of working with children. Now with a new introduction from the editors to contextualise it into the 21st century, this truly ground-breaking text which helped estTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Evolution of the Learning Brain
Book SynopsisHow does learning transform us biologically? What learning processes do we share with bacteria, jellyfish and monkeys? Is technology impacting on our evolution and what might the future hold for the learning brain?These are just some of the questions Paul Howard-Jones explores on a fascinating journey through 3.5 billion years of brain evolution, and discovers what it all means for how we learn today.

An accessible writing style and numerous illustrations make Evolution of the Learning Brain an enthralling combination of biology, neuroscience and educational insight. Howard-Jones provides aTrade Review"In Evolution of the Learning Brain, Howard-Jones provides an accessible introduction to the evolution of the nervous system and brain – hoping, perhaps, to provide readers with a more accurate model of how the brain learns. Channelling the spirit of David Attenborough, he leads us through an evolutionary history of life on Earth, dropping into the timeline at various points to talk about what is happening to the brain and nervous system."— Nick Rose, TES"In short, Paul Howard-Jones has provided us with a book which is extremely readable, provides an illuminating perspective on learning and offers much food for thought. It is certainly worth reading and is likely to become ‘well-thumbed’ as time goes on and it is referred to it again and again." — Professor Derek Bell, LearnusTable of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgements Chapter 1.
