Parents As Advocates - Supporting K-12 Students And Their Families Across Identities

by Dr Liz Dempsey Lee Phd

~~27,81€~~ 22,25€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 How can students, their families, and their teachers all work together towards common educational goals?Teachers want the best for their students, and a student’s family wants the best for them too. But what "best" looks like can be different for everyone. A student’s social identity and family context will have a significant impact on how they and their family define success at school. It is crucial for teachers to be aware of their own social identities, those of their students, and how these various identities might intersect, in order to understand what success might look like for each child in their classroom.Exploring various aspects of social identity - including gender identity, race, ability and disability, and socioeconomic status- this book tackles the question of how teachers can work together with their students, as well as how social identity will inform various kinds of advocacy from parents, carers, and family. Vital reading for teachers and educators in practice and in training, this book features suggested discussion questions, practical extension activities, and real-life case studies from the context of K-12 schools in the US.

Students, Teachers, Families, And A Socially Just Education - Rewriting The Grammar Of Schooling To Unsettle Identities

by Dr Francesca Peruzzo Phd e Professor Julie Allan Phd

~~27,81€~~ 22,25€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 One size does not fit all when it comes to education.In modern society, education has been and continues to be shaped, informed, and driven by a so-called "grammar of schooling": an approach which completely ignores the many and diverse identities that learners own, are given, and encounter. Categorising students into neat, labelled boxes, splintering knowledge into strictly defined subjects, and fracturing learning - this grammar of schooling desperately needs rewriting.Through narratives from teachers, students, and their families, this book explores the lived experiences of those who are forced to live with the current approach, and the consequences for their lives, relationship, and education. It also asks the question of what creative and holistic alternative approaches might look like - when the rules aren’t working, the rulebook can be rewritten.
