Download or read book Leadership for Change in Teacher Education written by Susan E. Elliott-Johns and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership for Change in Teacher Education: Voices of Canadian Deans of Education presents a rich sampling of diverse perspectives on the topic in a unique collection of reflections contributed by Canadian deans of education. The focus of the inquiry, “What would we hear from deans of education invited to share their perspectives on leadership for change in contemporary teacher education?” invited deans of education to reflect on the research, policies and practices currently informing their leadership. The results, fourteen engaging and provocative essays, offer important insights and increased understandings of the complex nature of their work and explore concerns raised in relation to lived experience and the multi-faceted processes of leading change for teacher education in contemporary contexts. Reflections in these short essays underscore the critical role of deans in provoking, supporting and championing new ideas and approaches to pedagogy for teacher education, and make clear the complexities inherent in leading the change. The Coda highlights the limited scope of related research available in the current literature and recommends urgent attention, in both research and practice, to the preparation of deans and support for their ongoing professional learning and sustainable leadership. This book will be of great interest to scholars, deans of education, teacher educators, university administrators and other policymakers. “Leadership for Change was a catalyst to immersing myself in this book, promising as it does the “Voices of Canadian Deans of Education”. A member of the Association of Canadian Deans of Education (ACDE) for over a decade, I have been honoured to join these voices around many conference tables and other informal sessions. The promise of important insights these voices can share is fulfilled within every one of the compelling chapters. The book reminds us of the diverse geographical, political, and theoretical contexts that enhance understandings of multiple perspectives on leadership and the complex educational challenges inherent in contemporary teacher education. A deep commitment to public education and a profound work ethic towards stellar, relevant teacher education resonates across the work of these deans of education. This thought-provoking book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on reconceptualising leadership for teacher education.” – Professor Fern Snart, Dean of Education, University of Alberta

Download or read book Le droit l ducation written by Marc Pilon and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2010 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À Paris, le 10 décembre 1948, le droit à l'éducation fut reconnu par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies comme un droit fondamental de toute personne humaine. Ce droit nouveau, intégré à la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme dans son article 26, se trouve ainsi mis au même niveau que tous les autres droits garantissant l'égalité entre personnes et le plein exercice des libertés publiques et individuelles. La première phrase de cet article pose donc sans ambigüité le principe universel que "toute personne à droit à l'éducation". Ce droit individuel implique des engagements, des devoirs collectifs (aux niveaux familial, communautaire, national et international). Il revêt un caractère multidimensionnel, à travers ses aspects historiques, politiques, juridiques, économiques, démographiques, culturels, linguistiques, pédagogiques, philosophiques ou encore éthiques. Cet ouvrage ne saurait avoir la prétention de les aborder tous. Combinant réflexions théoriques et approches empiriques, il interroge l'universalité du droit à l'éducation, à travers des regards croisés sur des situations renvoyant à des contextes très différents (France, Mexique, Haïti, Viêtnam, Maroc, Côte d'Ivoire, Bénin, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana, Madagascar). Riche d'une quinzaine de contributions, complétées par une postface, l'ouvrage aborde ces questions en trois temps : d'abord, en interrogeant le concept même de droit à l'éducation, ensuite, à travers des analyses de l'effectivité du droit à l'éducation dans divers pays du "Sud", enfin, en questionnant les types de mesures qui en sont faits. (4e de couv.).

Download or read book Democracy and Governance in Higher Education written by Neave and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early Eighties a number of themes have dominated the landscape of higher education, among them budget cuts, rationalisation in provision, accountability and quality control, closer links between higher education and the region, and a greater alertness to changes in economic and social policy. At the institutional level, the drive towards a greater degree of latitude and autonomy has found a ready echo among universities and other establishments of higher education. And this, in its turn, has posed major questions about the range of responsibilities central government and administration ought to retain or to delegate. Here is an in-depth treatment of the important legal issues emerging from these developments.

Download or read book Droits L instruction Dans la Langue de la Minorit written by Jean-Charles Ducharme and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enacted, the provinces alone determined what the language of instruction would be in the public schools. When the Charter was proclaimed on April 17, 1982, it brough a new dimension to the Canadian educational system; the right to instruction in the minority language that is now entrenched in the Constitution. This study deals with the current situation in Canada with respect to minority-language instruction and the management of educational facilities by official-language minority groups. First, we look at the parameters within which these rights are exercised, and then we examine the current situation in each province and territory.

Download or read book Education Law written by Michael Imber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education Law, 5th Edition is organized around the belief that students need to read court cases to understand the subtlety and richness of the law, but for legal neophytes, cases without discussion and interpretation are often too difficult to comprehend. This textbook provides a comprehensive survey of the legal problems and issues that confront school administrators and policymakers today. Thus, the text balances an explanation of the important principles of education law, with actual court decisions to illuminate these concepts. The court decisions are carefully edited to highlight issues most relevant to administrators, and each chapter explores implications for policy and practice. This new edition features additional content on bullying, student privacy, free speech rights, teacher evaluation, collective bargaining, and issues relating to Internet and technology as well as revised materials dealing with education policy and updating of references and case law throughout. A companion website with materials for students and instructors, including links to full cases, a glossary of key concepts, and discussion questions to help students further engage with the content.

Download or read book European Convention on Human Rights written by Christoph Grabenwarter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) entered into force on 3 September 1953 with binding effect on all Member States of the Council of Europe. It grants the people of Europe a number of fundamental rights and freedoms (right to life, prohibition of torture, prohibition of slavery and forced labour, right to liberty and security, right to a fair trial, no punishment without law, right to respect for private and family life, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association, right to marry, right to an effective remedy, prohibition of discrimination) plus some more by additional protocols to the Convention (Protocols 1 (ETS No. 009), 4 (ETS No. 046), 6 (ETS No. 114), 7 (ETS No. 117), 12 (ETS No. 177) and 13 (ETS No. 187)). Any person who feels his or her rights under the ECHR have been violated by the authorities of one of the Member States can bring a case to the European Court of Human Rights, established under the Convention. The States are bound by the Court's decisions. The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe make sure that the decisions are properly executed. Today the Court receives thousands of petitions annually, demonstrating the immense impact of the Convention and the Strasbourg Court. Professor Grabenwarter's Commentary deals with the Convention systematically, article-by-article, considering the development and scope of each article, together with the relevant case-law and literature.
