Download or read book Life Learning written by Wendy Priesnitz and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This passionate collection of essays from the leading edge of educational theory and practice demonstrates how families around the world are embracing the philosophy of life learning. Academics, parents and young people describe why non-compulsory, non-coercive, active, respectful, interest-led, family- and community-based learning from life is growing in popularity and will displace prescribed curriculum, standardized testing and the other regurgitation-based relics of our outmoded school system. This innovative way of learning through living not only foster intellectual development and academic achievement, it allows children and young people to develop an understanding of themselves and their place in modern society so they can create a better world. Life learning is the story of how children can personalize and control their own learning and what adults can do (and stop doing) to help them.

Download or read book Slow learners in the English Classroom written by Dr Binu P.M. and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classroom is a complex world that contains a relatively heterogeneous group of students. Despite their innate skills and abilities, some students get unrecognized or neglected due to teachers' failure in making proper assessments. As a result, many students who could be potential scientists or experts in any other field become dropouts or underachievers. When classroom instructors only rely on test results without being very keen on using their observational skills to assess their students comprehensively, they jeopardize the future of so many children during their careers. Hence, it would be apt to say that a child's future partially lies in the hands of their early educators. This book specifically addresses the problems faced by slow learners in the English classroom. It analyses the reasons that make a student a slow learner and provides valuable insights about the strategies and tools English language instructors need to employ to identify and support slow learners in their classes. Although this book is intended for use by the teachers of English, it will be a helpful guide for all teachers, student teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, and policymakers.

Download or read book Psychology and Education of Slow Learners written by Roy I. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1976, this introductory text for those intending to work with slow learners was concerned with the practical implications of recent British and North American research in the field of psychology and education at the time. Slow learners are young people who for a variety of reasons, continuously or for long periods, under-function in terms of intelligence, educational attainment and social skills. This book offers a clear analysis of the problems facing slow learners, their psychology and the types of education open to them. Dr Brown reassesses the needs of disabled children and adults in the context of their families, with the emphasis on the practical level of activity and training possible for them. The aim is the integration of the disabled person in society, and the belief is that services for the disabled should be integrated, with no professional person working on an isolated basis, but as part of a multidisciplinary professional team. Design for individuals entering the field of teaching, particularly those concerned with special education, training and rehabilitation programmes, the book should also be of value to social workers, psychologists and other professional people working in the field, as well as to parents of disabled children.

Download or read book When Slow Is Fast Enough written by Joan F. Goodman and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1993-03-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fascinating, lively, well-documented, and challenging....Both timely and necessary....An ideal resource for professionals who work with delayed children. It is so readable, it will also be valued by parents of these children." --Lee Combrinck-Graham, M.D. In matters of education, are all children created equal? Despite reforms that champion the rights of handicapped youngsters, are we really punishing such children with the very systems that are supposed to help them? Joan Goodman's bold and controversial book asks what we are accomplishing in early intervention programs that attempt to accelerate development in delayed young children. She questions the value of such programs on educational, psychological, and moral grounds, suggesting that in pressuring these children to perform more, and sooner, we undermine their capacity for independent development and deprive them of the freedom we insist upon for the nondelayed. Goodman argues that we need a more tolerant, less directive model of instruction in which the aim is to support the child's natural and spontaneous, albeit slow, development and to stimulate individual processes of discovery and self-expression. The elements of this more supportive model are then described in detail. Raising fundamental questions about our ambitions for children and how we fulfill them, this lively and provocative book is bound to stir controversy. It is especially timely as early intervention programs rapidly gear up to serve all handicapped children from ages 0 to 5.

Download or read book The One Thing You Need to Know written by Marcus Buckingham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide body of research, including extensive in-depth interviews, THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW reveals the central insights that lie at the core of: Great Managing, Great Leadership and Great Careers. Buckingham uses a wealth of relevant examples to reveal that at the heart of each insight lies a controlling insight. Lose sight of this 'one thing' and all of your best efforts at managing, leading, or individual achievement will be diminished. For great managing, the controlling insight has less to do with fairness, or team building, or clear expectations (although all are important). Rather, the one thing great managers know is the need to discover and then capitalize on what is unique about each person. For leadership, the controlling insight is the opposite - discover and capitalize on what is universal to all your people, regardless of differences in personality, race, sex, or age. For sustained individual success, the controlling insight is the need to discover what you don't like doing, and know how and when to stop doing it. In every way a groundbreaking work, THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO KNOW offers crucial performance and career lessons for business people at every level.
