Taylor & Francis Ltd Official Portraits and Unofficial
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles 5th and 6th grade writers - children of gang members, drug users, poor people, and non-documented and documented immigrants - in a rural school in the southwest US coming into their voices, cultivating those voices, and using those voices in a variety of venues, beginning with the classroom community and spreading outward. At the heart of this book is the cultivation of tension between official and unofficial portraits of these students. Official portraits are composed of demographic data, socioeconomic data, and test results. Unofficial counterportraits offer different views of children, schools, and communities. The big ideas of official and unofficial portraits are presented, then each chapter offers data (the childrenâs and teachersâ processes and products) and facets of the theoretical construct of counterportraits, as a response to official portraits. The counterportraits are built slowly in order to base them in evidence and to articulate their comTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgements Prologue: Writing Spaces and Hard TimesChapter 1: An Introduction to Searching for Our TruthsBefore the Work BeganPortraits and CounterportraitsMesa Vista Elementary School (MVE): The Official PortraitFinding the SchoolHomelessnessChapter 2: Writers Reveal ThemselvesBecoming More than an ObserverFirst Pieces of WritingInitiating Data AnalysisTeacher as ScreamerStrictness, Power, and MicroaggressionsStrict Schools and the Search for JoyThe Counterportrait Up to This PointChapter 3: Claiming Spaces to WriteThe Sixth Graders’ SpaceFinding the Space to WriteThe Fifth Graders’ SpaceThe Biography Assignment Begins to EvolveWriting Spaces and the View of the ChildCounterportraits So FarChapter 4: Rewriting Self and Writing About OthersSixth Graders’ Non-Biography Biography WorkMoving Towards Increased SharingFifth Graders Begin Biography WritingComposing Classmates’ BiographiesCounterportraits (so far), Context, and the Presentation of SelfChapter 5: Expanding Writing Spaces as Communities of PracticeFifth Graders Interview, Transcribe, & WriteSome Fifth Graders’ Transcriptions (Excerpts)And in the sixth grade…Communities, Boundaries, and CounterportraitsLegitimizing a Context for CounterportraitureChapter 6: Writing Changes Writers: The Impact of InertiaGood NewsSixth Graders Consider Expository BiographyFeatured Fifth Grade WriterWorking for HoursCounterportraiture, Working in the Plural Form, & InertiaChapter 7: Heroes, Dark Secrets, Otter Pops, & StrugglesIn the Fifth GradeFeatured Fifth Grade AuthorsChuck, the HumoristEstevan’s HeroSixth Grade Poets’ Dark PoetrySixth Graders’ Brief BiographiesThings Fall ApartThe Classroom as a "Site of Struggle"Struggle and the Use of TimeWriting as CarnivalCarnivals Breed StruggleCounterportraits, Struggles, Legitimacy, and PossibilitiesChapter 8: Writing Places as Hybrid SpacesSixth Graders Get SeriousPoetry in the Biography GenreHybridized Texts and ContextsHybridized Spaces and CounterportraitsChapter 9: Products, Presentations, and Power Our First Public VenueReading Their Work in Small GroupsSlam PoetryFor FamiliesCounterportraits and Spheres of InfluenceWhen Small Spheres Align…Chapter 10: Suffering, Struggles, and the CommunityHome VisitsBringing the Community to the Sixth GradeWriters’ Reflections on the YearReflections on self-as-writer and CounterportraitsReflections on Writing and CounterportraitsWhat else, what next, and CounterportraitsThank You Notes, Relationships, and CounterportraitsCritical Literacy, Hope and CounterportraitsChapter 11: Writing Spaces for Better TimesThe Purposes of School, the Search for Joy, & the Spirit of the ChildInner StrugglesLanguage & Identity StrugglesSchool as a Site of StruggleKnowledge/Power StruggleAgency: Responding to StrugglesAgency and Responsibilities in Composing CounterportraitsAgency and Responsibility, the Bigger PictureAgency and Responsibility in SchoolsAgency and Responsibility in PartnershipsChanging the Course of HistoryEpilogue: Microeducational EconomiesAppendix 1: Counterportraiture as Method/Method as Political WorkAppendix 2: Full Text of Some Biographies Appendix 3: Storyboard Appendix 4: Editorial ChecklistReferencesIndex of Children’s WorkSubject Index

Book SynopsisIn this delightful retelling of the classic fairy tale, Prince Cinders sets out on an adventure, aided by his very own fairy godmother. Great for ages 4 and up. “Take a classic story, substitute a few ingredients, season freely with silliness and imagination, dress it all up in jaunty illustrations, what have you got? In the case of Cole’s Prince Cinders, an outrageously funny romp of a picture book. . . . A madcap, highly entertaining spoof.”—Publishers Weekly “Would bring giggles to any age.”—School Library Journal

Taylor & Francis Inc Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own
Book SynopsisIn the author's words: This book is an honest attempt to understand what it means to be educated in today's world. His argument is this: No matter how important science and technology seem to industry or government or indeed to the daily life of people, as a society we believe that those educated in literature, history, and other humanities are in some way better informed, more knowing, and somehow more worthy of the descriptor well educated. This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions on how we educate our young. When we focus on intellectual and scholarly issues in high school as opposed to issues, such as communications, basic psychology, or child raising, we are continuing to rely on outdated notions of the educated mind that come from elitist notions of who is to be educated and what that means. To accommodate the realities of today's world it is necessary to change these elitist notions. We need to rethink what it means to be educated and begin to focus on a new conception of the very idea of education. Students need to learn how to think, not how to accomplish tasks, such as passing standardized tests and reciting rote facts. In this engaging book, Roger C. Schank sets forth the premises of his argument, cites its foundations in the Great Books themselves, and illustrates it with examples from an experimental curriculum that has been used in graduate schools and with K-12 students. Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own is essential reading for scholars and students in the learning sciences, instructional design, curriculum theory and planning, educational policy, school reform, philosophy of education, higher education, and anyone interested in what it means to be educated in today's world.Table of ContentsContents: Preface: What Is an Educated Mind?
