Book excerpt: From the author of the New York Times bestselling novels The Handmaid’s Tale—now an Emmy Award-winning Hulu original series—and Alias Grace, now a Netflix original series. Part detective novel, part psychological thriller, Surfacing is the story of a talented woman artist who goes in search of her missing father on a remote island in northern Quebec. Setting out with her lover and another young couple, she soon finds herself captivated by the isolated setting, where a marriage begins to fall apart, violence and death lurk just beneath the surface, and sex becomes a catalyst for conflict and dangerous choices. Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings, and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose. Here is a rich mine of ideas from an extraordinary writer about contemporary life and nature, families and marriage, and about women fragmented...and becoming whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this discussion on the development of expertise in teaching, a theory of skill learning is first presented. The characteristics of five stages of skill development in teachers are described: (1) novice; (2) advanced beginner; (3) competent teacher; (4) proficient teacher; and (5) expert teacher. A review of data collected by studies on the subject of teaching expertise points out differences between the novice and the expert teacher in the areas of: (1) interpreting classroom phenomena; (2) discerning the importance of events; (3) using routines; (4) predicting classroom phenomena; (5) judging typical and atypical events; and (6) evaluating performance: responsibility and emotions. The discussion of policy considerations for teacher educators, based upon this developmental theory of skill acquisition, is aimed at helping novices become proficient in classroom techniques while evaluating them in ways approriate for their developmental level.

Download or read book Enseignants d butants Faire ses classes written by Gilles Lazuech and published by PU Rennes. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi et comment devient-on enseignant de lycée et collège ? Quelles perceptions les enseignants stagiaires ont-ils de leur formation en Instituts Universitaires de Formation des Maîtres ? Comment vivent-ils leurs premiers cours et quels sont, par la suite, leur parcours professionnel ? Ces questions sont à l’origine de ce livre sur l’apprentissage du métier d’enseignant. à l’aide d’une enquête longitudinale (questionnaires et entretiens), les auteurs montrent que les enseignants débutants ne sont pas tous égaux, ni dans leur mode d’accès à la profession, ni par la suite, dans leur capacité à s’adapter à leur métier. Les analyses qui sont présentées dans cet ouvrage montrent que le processus de socialisation professionnelle dépend des lieux d’apprentissage et d’affectation, mais aussi de la perception singulière que les individus en ont. Dès lors, c’est aussi par les ressources personnelles susceptibles d’être mobilisées que peuvent être compris le processus de professionnalisation et les pratiques enseignantes. Alors que l’école est traversée par de nombreuses interrogations, et qu’un renouvellement massif du corps enseignant est en cours, l’étude des difficultés qu’ils peuvent éprouver lors de leur insertion professionnelle, est particulièrement importante. Ce livre essaie de dépasser les positions parfois excessives sur la « crise de l’école » ou du « malaise des enseignants » et contribue à apporter une analyse à la fois réaliste et mesurée des situations professionnelles que rencontrent les jeunes enseignants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After critiquing—and infuriating—the art world with The Painted Word, award-winning author Tom Wolfe shared his less than favorable thoughts about modern architecture in From Bauhaus to Our Haus. In this examination of the strange saga of twentieth century architecture, Wolfe takes such European architects as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus art school founder Walter Gropius to task for their glass and steel box designed buildings that have influenced—and infected—America’s cities.
