Download or read book Challenging the School Readiness Agenda in Early Childhood Education written by Miriam B. Tager and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the normative paradigm that school readiness is a positive and necessary objective for all young children, this book asserts that the concept is a deficit-based practice that fosters the continuation of discriminatory classifications. Tager draws on findings of a qualitative study to reveal how the neoliberal agenda of school reform based on high-stakes testing sorts and labels children as non-ready, affecting their overall schooling careers. Tager reflects critically on the relationship between race and school readiness, showing how the resulting exclusionary measures perpetuate the marginalization of low-income Black children from an early age. Disrupting expected notions of readiness is imperative to ending practices of structural classism and racism in early childhood education.
Download or read book An Exploration of the State of School Readiness in the Offering of Multi grade Teaching written by Dr Segwadi Joseph Kokela and published by www.emporepublishers.co.za. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated the state of schools in the implementation of multi-grade teaching. The researchers followed a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The study population consisted of 24 participants made up of teachers and principals in eight multi-grade schools in the Sekhukhune South District in Limpopo Province. Purposive sampling was used to select three participants from each of the six sampled schools, making a total sample size of 18 participants. Data was collected through individual interviews, focus group discussion, and document analysis. A thematic approach was employed to analyze the data, by identifying themes emerging from the data collection instruments. The study revealed that schools were not ready to offer multi-grade teaching. Teacher incapacity; lack of national framework on multi-grade teaching; and lack of teacher development programs caused schools not to be ready to offer the multi-grade curriculum. The study recommends that multi-grade teachers and their SMTs should be trained in multi-grade teaching. Moreover, schools should be provided with curriculum guidelines on multi-grade teaching. Furthermore, teacher-training universities should offer multi-grade teaching as a compulsory module.
