Download or read book Telling Tales Out of School written by Douglas J. Brouillard and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study is a collection of narrative essays reflecting on the first three years of a teaching career. The study took place at three schools with students who had distinctly different socio-economic backgrounds; the inner-city in Los Angeles, California and upper-middle income and lower-middle income suburbs of Seattle, Washington. Research points to a need for teachers to infuse ethics and character development into their curriculum. The stories contained in this colection reflect some of that dire need. The literature review provides philosophical and historical support. It also highlights studies in which ethics and character development were added in to a pre-existing curriculum with great success. The stories were collected and written over a four-year period beginning in the summer of 2000. A significant amount of evidence points to both the need for and the effectiveness of a curriculum grounded in ethics education. Evidence further suggests an increased democratic paricipation, improved academic skills, and fewer instances of disciplinary problems in the school environment.

Download or read book Telling Tales Out Of School written by Mary E. Furlong and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of my long-ago first-grade girls had a charming way of congratulating her friends when they solved a math problem, or read aloud "with expression," or did anything at all she deemed noteworthy. Invoking her favorite cartoon character, Yogi Bear, she would say, "Smarter than the av-er-age kid." It was cute. It was generous. It was kind. It was funny. And it reminded me that she herself was smarter than the av-er-age kid. My judgment of that little girl was borne out years later when she called to tell me about her new business venture in Niagara Falls. We talked at some length about the old days at Beech Avenue Elementary School, recalling incidents like our class trip to Lombardi's Farm when one of the boys took an unforgettable ride on a rambunctious calf's back. In short, we repeated the memories - the stories - we had told ourselves again and again. That's what people do; they tell stories. They organize their memories as beginning, middle, and end to figure out their meaning, the reason that they are such vivid memories in the first place. As I organized my memories of teaching to write this book, I was struck by one overriding meaning of it all. Every one of the children I was privileged to teach was ... well, 'special' doesn't quite satisfy, for the word has all but lost its meaning. So I'll borrow my former first grader - my young entrepreneur's - phrase and declare: Each and every one of my kids was in some way (sometimes in many ways) smarter than the av-er-age kid.

Download or read book Failing Working class Girls written by Gillian Plummer and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2000 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discussion among the author and her degree-winning working class woman subjects affords insights into the backgrounds of working-class girls. It shows how both mothers and fathers held low expectations of education and what it might offer their daughters, so did little to support their education. It exposes the pattern of early marriage with an unskilled and often exploited partner who, whether earning or not, saw himself as the sole provider and even the possessor of his wife and daughters. It turns a spotlight on teachers and reveals how, instead of encouraging these misfits to succeed, they themselves discriminated against the bright working-class girls who managed to gain entry to privileged schools or grammar streams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--

Download or read book The Modern School Movement written by Paul Avrich and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive study of the Modern School movement, Paul Avrich narrates its history, analyzes its successes and failures, and assesses its place in American life. In doing so, he shows how the radical experimentation in art and communal living as well as in education during this period set the precedent for much of the artistic, social, and educational ferment of the 1960's and I970's.

This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Download or read book Formation of Character written by Charlotte Mason and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formation of Character is the fifth volume of Charlotte Mason's Homeschooling series. The chapters stand alone and are valuable to parents of children of all ages. Part I includes case studies of children (and adults) who cured themselves of bad habits. Part II is a series of reflections on subjects including both schooling and vacations (or "stay-cations" as we now call them). Part III covers various aspects of home schooling, with a special section detailing the things that Charlotte Mason thought were important to teach to girls in particular. Part IV consists of examples of how education affected outcome of character in famous writers of her day. Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and that it was better to feed their growing minds with living literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of education, still used by some private schools and many homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art, music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits. Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although the method is also used successfully by s
