Anthroposophic Press Inc The Essentials of Education
These five talks were given during an educational conference in 1924. They are the last public lectures given by Rudolf Steiner in Germany. According to one member of his audience, Seventeen hundred people listened to him; the prolonged applause from this great crowd at the end of every lecture was deeply moving, while at the end of the last lecture the applause became an ovation that seemed as if it would never end. This kind of adoration was the result not only of who Steiner was as an individual but of what he accomplished as well. People had already begun to realize the potential and the promise for the future that Waldorf education held out to the children of the world. The Essentials of Education, together with its companion book, The Roots of Education, present a remarkable synthesis of what Waldorf education is and what it can become. The Waldorf experiment had matured for five years since 1919, when Steiner helped to establish the first Waldorf school. He had guided that schoo

Book SynopsisThe problems facing society today are complex, multifaceted, and require crossing multiple disciplinary boundaries. As such, these problems call for interdisciplinary collaboration, including new and different combinations of skills and knowledge. Currently, tertiary education providers are not well-positioned to develop these interdisciplinary capabilities at a rate commensurate with the speed of contemporary change. This book places design thinking as the catalyst to create change in the tertiary education sector and to build interdisciplinary skill sets that are required for the graduate of the future. By presenting a series of case studies and drawing on global experts in the field, this book investigates pedagogical approaches, disciplinary facilitation practice, curriculum integration, and a framework for understanding design thinking pedagogy within tertiary education.

Taylor & Francis Engineering Teaching in Chinas Higher Education
Book SynopsisBased on a case study of engineering teaching in Chinaâs higher education sector, this book unravels the interlocking influencing factors that condition the experience of engineering faculty members along with multiple stakeholdersâ expectations of engineering teaching.What motivates and demotivates a university instructor to provide excellent teaching, especially in the disciplines where effective instructor guidance is crucial for student learning? This book gives evidence-based answers to this research question, drawing upon a social realist framework in relation to the disciplinary features of engineering and based on both qualitative and quantitative methods. It expatiates upon structural, cultural, and reflexive factors concerning both the academic profession and industry and how teaching behaviors are shaped. In doing so, the author advances pragmatic suggestions for higher education reform under the prevalent performance management systems, posing implications for global higher education in regard to what structural arrangements and cultural milieu should be in place to unleash the potential of engineering teaching.The book will appeal to scholars of higher education, Chinese and comparative education, and education sociology, and academics and policy-makers interested in engineering education and teacher education.

Working with text and agency to explore how policy is understood and investigated, and posing searching questions about how policy is analysed and researched, this collection will be invaluable to educationalists, researchers and policy-makers, in sharpening current and future studies in the field.”Meg Maguire, Professor, King’s College London, UK“As factors influencing the development and enactment of policy in education become increasingly varied and complex, new approaches to policy research are clearly needed. Drawing on recent developments in social and political theory, this book presents a collection of critical essays that constitutes a most accessible and helpful introduction to the shifting field of educational policy studies.”Fazal Rizvi, Emeritus Professor, The University of Melbourne, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA“...a must-read primer to critical education policy analysis.

Book SynopsisThis book examines the works of Medieval Muslim philosophers interested in intercultural encounters and how receptive Islam is to foreign thought, to serve as a dialogical model, grounded in intercultural communications, for Islamic and Arabic education.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Literacy for All
Book SynopsisAn equity-conscious, culturally sustaining approach to literacy education.Every student comes to the classroom with unique funds of knowledge in addition to unique needs. How can teachers celebrate and draw upon the valuable literacies each child already possesses to engage them more effectively in school literacy practices?In Literacy for All, Shawna Coppola shows how a literacy pedagogy founded on anti-oppressive principles can transform the experiences of teachers and students alike. Using her framework, which highlights the social and cultural aspects of literacy, teachers can help students participate in literacy experiences that illuminate their individual strengths.Coppola's book, an ideal introduction for equity-conscious literacy educators, shows how to design instructional and assessment practices that reflect both the cognitive processes and the social practices inherent in learning to read and write.Trade Review“With incisive precision, clarity, and refreshing veracity, Coppola’s Literacy for All offers a framework that equips readers with the tools needed to engage in expansive literacy practices that underscore the cognitive and social aspects of literacy, support the internal and external work necessary to sustain liberatory literacy practices and honor the research and scholarship of those whose expertise, though critical, is often not centered. This work is a vital addition to your literacy instruction toolkit."Afrika Afeni Mills, Author of Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist, Pro-Human Students, Education Consultant, Adjunct Instructor, and CEO of Continental Drift, LLC“Literacy for All: A Framework for Anti-Oppressive Teaching walks readers through literacy movements and current debates while maintaining a critical lens on how our identities and relationships to communities impact our teaching. Coppola brings a wealth of knowledge about the definitions of literacy, sociocultural approaches to literacy, and ways to unmask the oppression embedded in dominant narratives of literacy instruction. This book carefully looks across literacy theory and methods through the lens of a thoughtful framework that recognizes the role of our positionalities, the internal and external work that is necessary when teaching, and the research-based approaches we must be aware of if we are indeed doing literacy work that is transformative and liberating. Literacy for All is a must-read for all teachers, literacy coaches, and those who want to nurture an anti-oppressive literacy culture in their schools. This book will impact our teacher journeys and help transform institutions."Carla España, Assistant Professor of Bilingual Education and Puerto Rican/Latinx and Latin American Studies, Department of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, Brooklyn College, City University of New York“Literacy for All is a call for a more focused, complete, and unflinchingly honest approach to building literacy. Coppola brings expertise, experience, and, most importantly, humanity to the national discussion around literacy education. Melding important research from many different realms of education and holding them all up equally for important findings and critical analysis, Literacy for All is a book that anyone involved in education will find helpful, meaningful, and thought provoking."Tom Rademacher, Author of It Won't Be Easy and Raising Ollie “Wow! Shawna Coppola has created a comprehensive yet digestible literacy framework that envelops an enormous breadth of research and history without overwhelming readers. She lays out why we must enact classroom and systemic change but more importantly, she shows educators how. Yes, this is the path to Literacy for All. More aptly, even, Required Reading for All.”Nawal Qarooni, Educator, Author, and Literacy Expert“Literacy for All is an active book. In its pages, Coppola demonstrates the ongoing, alive, and continual excavation required to challenge our enculturated norms. More than a simple how-to, the book is a conversation that asks you to dig and then keep digging. Grounded in scholarship, while remaining utterly approachable, Literacy for All will help you peel back the layers of your instruction, question who is best being served, and challenge you to do better."Christopher Lehman, Founding Director, The Educator CollaborativeTable of Contents0.Introduction. 1.The Anti-Oppressive Literacy Education Framework. 2.Literacy Involves Both Cognitive Processes and Social Practices. 3.Literacy and Identity Are Inextricably Linked. 4.All Human Beings Engage in Literacy and Language Practices That Are Both Valid and Valuable. 5.Meaning-Making Occurs Within a Variety of Equally Valid Communicative Channels or Modes. 6.Literacy Can Be Used as a Tool for Liberation as Well as a Tool for Oppression.
