Book excerpt: Free public education has long been a core American value and privilege. Yet, teachers are burning out, families are fleeing the public schools and students, who cannot read and write are graduating from high school. The government constantly and consistently strives for quality education through mandates and reforms. Myrna Sanner calls quality education Education That Matters. While reading Education That Matters, you will learn: How public education can become quality education. Why implementing and understanding the responsibilities of citizenship are essential components of quality education. How the troubling behavior of students is diminishing quality education. Why English proficiency is imperative to the preservation of the American culture and quality education. Why patriotism must be encouraged and appreciated in order to maintain democracy and The Constitution of the United States. Why educating the heart and soul of every student is vital for quality education. How favorable role models in all walks of life can promote quality education. Clearly defined principles will offer consistency to teachers when educating students, to law enforcement officers when enforcing the laws and to families when raising their children. Teachers can recognize negative behavior, can teach the academics, and help eradicate illiteracy. They can even practice patriotism every day in the classroom. However, teachers do not go home with their students. Myrna Sanner addresses problems facing public schools and offers solutions for re-approaching American public education by being mindful of a few core tenets that speak to the hearts and souls of teachers and families. With the analysis, insight, and vision of the most troubling trends, Education That Matters will perhaps be the most valuable and compelling education book of the year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light in Bandaged Places shows us the harm done when an older man in a position of power convinces a child that sex with him is alright because he loves her. This poignant story takes us through the long-term wounding of such abuse—and the multifaceted path of healing. As a lonely girl coming of age in the 1970s, Liz has every reason to believe her 8th-grade teacher is in love with her. Because the sex isn’t physically violent and is wrapped in a message of love, she learns to exchange sex for attention. It feels like love, after all. But years later, as an adult, emotional closeness eludes Liz. Even after marrying a sensitive, caring man, she is walled off. Struggling through confusing years, she believes something is deeply wrong with her. Healing begins when an unexpected event takes Liz back to those formative years, and she sees for the first time that what happened to her was not love but trauma. As she begins to understand how her relationship with her former teacher destroyed her innocence and self-worth, she begins a spiritual and psychological journey that sets her free. Now a meditation teacher and Buddhist practitioner, Liz offers her story in hope of helping others along their own paths of discovery and healing.

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Gender and Education written by Christine Skelton and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Gender and Education brings together leading scholars on gender and education to provide an up-to-date and broad-ranging guide to the field. It is a comprehensive overview of different theoretical positions on equity issues in schools. The contributions cover all sectors of education from early years to higher education; curriculum subjects; methodological and theoretical perspectives; and gender identities in education. Each chapter reviews, synthesises and provides a critical interrogation of key contemporary themes in education. This approach ensures that the book will be an indispensable source of reference for a wide range of readers: students, academics and practitioners. The first section of the Handbook, Gender Theory and Methodology, outlines the various (feminist) perspectives on researching and exploring gender and education. The section critiques the notion of gender as a category in educational research and considers recent trends, evident especially in the gender and underachievement debates, to locate gender difference solely within biology. This section provides the broad background upon which the issues and debates in the other sections can be situated. Section two, Gender and Education, considers the differing ways in which gender has been shown to impact upon the opportunities and experiences of pupils/students, teachers and other adults in the different sectors of education. It also includes a chapter on single-sex schooling. Section three, Gender and School Subjects, comprises chapters that cover gender issues within the teaching and learning of particular school subjects (for example, maths, literacy, and science). It also includes topics such as sex education and assessment. The chapters in section four, Gender, identity and educational sites, address up-to-date issues which have a long history in terms of explorations into gender and educational opportunities. More recent inclusions in the debates, such as disability, sexuality, and masculinities are discussed alongside the more traditional concerns of ′race′, social class and femininities. The final section, Working in Schools and Colleges, illuminates the working lives of teachers and academics. The chapters cover such topics as school culture, career progression and development, and the gendered identities of professionals within educational institutions. The contributors to this book have been selected by the editors as authorities in their specific area of gender and education and are drawn from the international scholarly community.
