Who'S Gonna Water My Tomatoes? - School Gardens, Kitchens, And The Search For Educational Authenticity

 "Who’s Gonna Water My Tomatoes?": School Gardens, Kitchens, and the Search for Educational Authenticity updates an old concept for our modern age, utilizing school gardens and culinary kitchens where students grow, prepare, and eat their own food. Over a century ago, the educational philosopher John Dewey proposed reforming education around the needs of the whole child, emphasizing academic learning and the child''s social needs for effective participation in a democratic society. In Dewey’s view, children would best learn by engaging in authentic experiences that would introduce, complement, and complete their regular classroom experiences. Dewey talked about school gardens and kitchens as two specific laboratories where children could apply what they were learning in school in daily life. Today, the tensions between experiential learning and the more rote learning often found in regular classrooms remain. Educators increasingly find themselves accountable to the narrow performance pressures imposed by standardized testing, pressures that often squeeze out the joys and possibilities for more authentic and engaging learning found in real-world experiences. This book explores Dewey’s philosophy with particular attention given to experiential learning’s relationship to gardens and kitchens. The school garden and kitchen movement itself has ebbed and flowed over the last hundred years in response to changing societal and educational pressures. This history leads to the present day, where the edible schoolyard movement is experiencing a new spring as educators, parents, and school communities find value in edible schoolyard’s possibilities for providing more wholistic education that better meets the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. The book focuses on a network of edible schoolyards by introducing educators, teachers, principals, and staff who are making edible schoolyards happen today. Their vision and motivations form in their favorite lessons and in the connections between garden and kitchen experiences to the more traditional subject matter favored on state tests. Suggestions and resources for starting new edible schoolyards, including suggested recipes, are provided for those who want to get growing with their own edible schoolyards. Perfect for courses such as: Educational Reform; Educational History; Educational Philosophy; Educational Leadership; Curriculum Development and Transformation; Experiential Learning; Project Based Learning; and Educational Policy Environments

What Do We Mean By That? - Interrogating Familiar Expressions In Education

~~52,93€~~ 47,64€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 What Do We Mean by That?: Interrogating Familiar Expressions in Education is a collection of essays that opens a space for all educational workers—teachers, teacher educators, administrators, politicians, and others—to unpack commonly used educational phrases and ideas. The idea is to carefully examine what we say to one another when we talk about schools, curriculum, students, and other educational problems or issues—when we say things like "We have to meet students where they are," and "All children can learn," or "What does the data say?" What Do We Mean by That? challenges and clarifies such phrases and the how, and why, that they shape educational policies and practices. The influential curricular theorist Dwayne Huebner charged us to always be aware of our "man-made tools," such as language, and said that since "all educators attempt to shape the world; theorists should call attention to the tools used for the shaping in order that the world being shaped can be more beautiful and just." Language is a tool in educational practice in myriad ways: between administrators and teachers, teachers and students, teachers and parents, and students and students, as examples. A scripted curriculum is a tool intended to provide fixed language to teachers. It is normal for phrases to make their way into our everyday practices and get lodged there. But we need opportunities to interrupt ourselves and study our language tools to ensure they help create beauty and justice. This collection of thoughtful essays seeks to be this interruption. It is an invaluable tool for improving the educational experience of students and schools. Perfect for courses such as: Foundations of Education; Curriculum Studies; Diversity in Education; Educational Rhetoric and Policy

John Dewey'S Imaginative Vision Of Teaching - Combining Theory And Practice

de Boyles Deron Boyles

172,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 John Dewey's Imaginative Vision of Teaching explores key philosophical topics in John Dewey's work, including epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics, and relates them to teacher practice and education policy. Each chapter begins with theory and ends with practical implications. While there are numerous books on Dewey, there are relatively few that connect his philosophy of education to actual practice. By linking primary fields of philosophy with classroom teaching and education policy, Boyles suggests that the binary between theory and practice is a false chasm that can and should be bridged if teaching and learning are to change into more dynamic, reflexive, and authentic interactions.Perfect for courses such as: Becoming a Teacher | Applying Theory to Practice | John Dewey and U.S. Schools | Historical and Philosophical Ideas In Practice | Progressive Teaching

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Simple actsof kindness" are not so simple. Broidy argues both for the complexity ofkindness in action, and for the value of an approach to teachers' relationshipwith their students and other clients that is rooted in a "sensibility ofkindness."

He traces the role of kindness andrelated concepts in both American educational history and in modernorganizations promoting their versions of kindness.Broidyexplores the ways we decide ethical questions, focusing on the complex ofperceptions, emotions, dispositions, and priorities that form our ethicalsensibilities. He argues that a sensibility oriented toward kindness is thebest foundation for a teaching ethic; and shows how new and working teacherscan develop and employ such a teaching ethic.Finally, heconnects a kindness-oriented teaching ethic to the societal need to maintainand develop a long-term democratic ideal.Perfect for courses such as: Foundations, Philosophy of Education, Introduction to Education, Methods, Professional Ethics, Teacher Education

Why Kids Love (And Hate) School - Reflections On Practice

56,91€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Some students enter classrooms with an "I dare you try to teach me" look on their faces, and others bounce into class excited to learn and anxious to please the teacher. We know we can't automatically blame teachers or schools when students don't want to learn. But we also know that sometimes teachers and schools don't always set students up for success, and they don't always help them love what they're learning.Why Kids Love (and Hate) School: Reflections on Practice investigates some of the school and classroom practices that help students love school-and some that send students in the opposite direction. Intended for classroom teachers, teacher education students, and school administrators, chapters in the book investigate a variety of topics: how schools can build effective school cultures, the "struggle" students encounter in learning, practices of other countries that help students love school, testing practices that cause students to hate school-and much more. Perfect for courses in: Introduction to Education,General Methods, Management/Assessment, Educational Research, EducationalAdministration/Leadership, Teacher Leadership, Curriculum Theory, CurriculumDevelopment.
