Download or read book Opening Windows to Change written by John Sayer and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an evaluatory case study of international co-operation in educational change through the European Union's TEMPUS programme for developing and restructuring higher education in TACIS-eligible countries. It offers a reflective post-project evaluation of the development programme to prepare teachers to meet special educational needs in the formerly closed Russian city and region of Perm. It considers the programme's continuation, extension and dissemination, and its effects on new related international work, including the follow-on TEMPUS-TACIS project for health education. This book is a case study for educational development programmes generally, for issues related to trans-European co-operation in education, for questions related to accountability, and for the relationship of development and comparative research programmes. The introductory formal report of the special educational needs international project in Perm is the backcloth for subsequent reflective chapters which probe beyond the formal account and record what is happening in the hearts and minds of the teachers and trainers. Part Two relates this TEMPUS project to wider conditions for change in schools. Part Three gives space to examples of further exploration prompted by and outside the initial scope of a proposal. The applicability of models for transition is taken up in the concluding chapter, which also confronts the accountability patterns now seen to be hampering real change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on their analysis in Sociology in Government (Penn State, 2003), Julie Zimmerman and Olaf Larson again join forces across the generations to explore the unexpected inclusion of rural and farm women in the research conducted by the USDA’s Division of Farm Population and Rural Life. Existing from 1919 to 1953, the Division was the first, and for a time the only, unit of the federal government devoted to sociological research. The authors explore how these early rural sociologists found the conceptual space to include women in their analyses of farm living, rural community social organization, and the agricultural labor force.

Download or read book Do the Windows Open written by Julie Hecht and published by Penguin Books. This book was released on 1998-02-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do the Windows Open? is a series of hilarious linked tales documenting the mania of the modern day in devastating detail-tales that have had readers of The New Yorker laughing out loud for years. The beguiling and alienated narrator-who finds nearly everything interesting and almost nothing clear-has set herself the never-ending goal of photographing a world-renowned reproductive surgeon, Walden Pond, the ponds of Nantucket, and all the houses Anne Sexton ever lived in. On the way, she searches for organically grown vegetables, windows that open, and an endodontist who acts like a normal person. She sometimes compares herself unfavorably to Jacqueline Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Princess Diana. What emerges is a unique sensibility under siege. This is a remarkably original literary performance, one that speaks to anyone looking for the refuge laughter offers from life in an absurd world.
Download or read book Opening Windows written by Kate Sherren and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third decennial review from the International Association for Society and Natural Resources, Opening Windowssimultaneously examines the breadth and societal relevance of Society and Natural Resources (SNR) knowledge, explores emergent issues and new directions in SNR scholarship, and captures the increasing diversity of SNR research. Authors from various backgrounds—career stage, gender and sexuality, race/ethnicity, and global region—provide a fresh, nuanced, and critical look at the field from both researchers’ and practitioners’ perspectives. This reflexive book is organized around four key themes: diversity and justice, governance and power, engagement and elicitation, and relationships and place. This is not a complacent volume—chapters point to gaps in conventional scholarship and to how much work remains to be done. Power is a central focus, including the role of cultural and economic power in “participatory” approaches to natural resource management and the biases encoded into the very concepts that guide scholarly and practical work. The chapters include robust literature syntheses, conceptual models, and case studies that provide examples of best practices and recommend research directions to improve and transform natural resource social sciences. An unmistakable spirit of hope is exemplified by findings suggesting positive roles for research in the progress ahead. Bringing fresh perspectives on the assumptions and interests that underlie and entangle scholarship on natural resource decisionmaking and the justness of its outcomes, Opening Windows is significant for scholars, students, natural resource practitioners, managers and decision makers, and policy makers.
Download or read book Open Windows Open Minds written by Afrika Afeni Mills and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Afrika Afeni Mills’ book fills an important gap in the arena of diversity, equity and inclusion. Most books are focused on the needs of children of color, but she helps us understand why White students need to build their cultural competence if we are to truly have a society that is bias-free. If you’re a White educator or parent, this book will help you to let go of the things that no longer serve you, and to teach your students to embrace those things that will help create welcoming environments where all feel a sense of belonging." —Zaretta Hammond Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Equip your students—and yourself—to grapple with racial identity and crucial questions about race. As antiracist educators, we strive to create learning environments where White-identifying students learn to shift from centering their own racial identity to recognizing the histories, perspectives, and experiences of others. How do we make that vision a reality? In Open Windows, Open Minds, transformational educator Afrika Afeni Mills explores why racial identity work is crucial, especially for White-identifying students and teachers, and shows educators how to use literacy instruction to provide more windows to racial awareness, antiracist thinking, and pro-human action in the classroom. This roadmap for moving from intention to action includes: Exercises that push educators to examine their own racial identity before facilitating antiracism work with students Prompts that lead educators from deep thinking to instructional planning and implementation Developmentally appropriate teaching strategies for guiding students toward understanding racial identity and engaging in action-oriented learning Tools and resources for navigating challenges, finding allies, and creating partnerships Engaging in anti-bias, antiracist work requires actively thinking, doing, and evolving. Open windows to racial identity and awareness in your students and help create a more inclusive and equitable society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young girl named Eepersip lives with her parents in a cottage, but she feels trapped within its confines, so she leaves home to live a freer life in the wild. After leaving her parents’ home, she establishes a life for herself outdoors, rejecting both the society of adults and the comforts of civilization. Initially, she is happy to live in a meadow near her family’s home, but over time she is tempted to seek out new natural environments to live in. Meanwhile, her parents attempt to locate their daughter and to bring her back home. Follett started writing the novel in 1923 at the age of 8, but the first draft was lost in a house fire, which led her to rewrite the entire work. It was eventually published to critical success in 1927, when she was just 12 years old. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
