Pachakutik - Marc Becker - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Pachakutik - Marc Becker - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This authoritative book provides a deeply informed overview of one of the most dynamic social movements in Latin America. Focusing on contemporary Indigenous movements in Ecuador, leading scholar Marc Becker traces the growing influence of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE), which in 1990 led a powerful uprising that dramatically placed a struggle for Indigenous rights at the center of public consciousness. Activists began to refer to this uprising as a "pachakutik," a Kichwa word that means change, rebirth, and transformation, both in the sense of a return in time and the coming of a new era. Five years later, proponents launched a new political movement called Pachakutik to compete for elected office. In 2006, Ecuadorians elected Rafael Correa, who many saw as emblematic of the new Latin American left, to the presidency of the country. Even though CONAIE, Pachakutik, and Correa shared similar concerns for social justice, they soon came into conflict with each other. Becker examines the competing strategies and philosophies that emerge when social movements and political parties embrace comparable visions but follow different paths to realize their objectives. In exploring the multiple and conflictive strategies that Indigenous movements have followed over the past twenty years, he definitively documents the recent history and charts the trajectory of one of the Americas' most powerful and best organized social movements. This paperback volume features a new epilogue in which Becker examines heightened conflicts over the extraction of natural resources and new challenges to the Correa administration.

Forward Fast - Marc Isseks - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

FORWARD FAST explores the extraordinary impact that the internet and web-enabled devices have had on schools. Educational leader and author, Marc Isseks, conveys the need for today’s classrooms to be centers of context, not content. In this exciting new world, principals, teachers, parents and students have the opportunity to permanently transform learning and redefine what meaningful instruction is all about. Isseks explains how to promote creativity and innovation from the teacher’s lounge to the superintendent’s office. Armed with tools and strategies that foster more engaging classrooms, educators feel empowered to achieve their full potential. Valuable insights are also provided for parents who often fail to fully conceive the incredibly powerful – and often negative – impact the internet and social media are having on their children. Lastly, the author paves the way for educators to design coursework that goes well beyond STEM initiatives. Children not only need the skills to work in a technological world, they need to learn how to live in a world with technology. A self-proclaimed “educational pyromaniac,” Marc Isseks intends to light fires under educators who work and set fire to systemic conventions that do not, in an effort to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of children in a world moving FORWARD FAST.

To Make the Earth Whole - Marc Gopin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

To Make the Earth Whole - Marc Gopin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

To Make the Earth Whole studies the art of citizen diplomacy_a process that can address clashes of religion and culture across regional lines even when traditional negotiations between governments can fail. While faith and regional differences have been sources of division around the world in recent decades, millions of citizens are also creating bonds of friendship and collaboration that are forming the basis of a global community. Drawing on the experiences gleaned from years practicing citizen diplomacy in some of the world''s most politically charged climates, scholar-practitioner of conflict resolution and rabbi Marc Gopin describes his work in Syria as a central case study of the book. The author outlines the strategic basis for creating community across lines of enmity, the social network theory to explain how this happens, and the long term vision required for a progressive but inclusive global community that respects religious communities even as it limits their coercive power over others. This powerful and practical book outlines an incremental and evolutionary strategy of positive change that stands a strong chance of success, even in today''s most conservative and repressive religious and political contexts. To Make the Earth Whole also examines the ethical challenges of citizen diplomacy from the perspectives of both Western and Eastern philosophies and religions. The world''s wisdom traditions are essential in devising a way for citizens to develop the foundations for global community.

Changing Curriculum through Stories - Marc Levitt - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Changing Curriculum through Stories - Marc Levitt - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Changing Curriculum Through Stories: Character Education for Ages 10-12 is a book about transforming school culture from one that supports a culture of competition to one where an understanding of how we are ''All In it Together’ permeates what is studied and how. Whether the issue is ‘going along to get along’, ‘shunning an outsider’, ''bullying'', ‘learning to share'', ''anger management'' or ''forgiveness'', Changing Curriculum Through Stories: Character Education for Ages 10-12 makes clear how an individual''s behavioral choices, seemingly without consequences, ultimately effect everyone, including themselves. Using original and folkloric stories as jumping off points for discussions, Marc Levitt’s new book provides a holistic antidote to ''shallow selfishness'', substituting instead, a curriculum and a pedagogy that provides the intellectual and visceral tools to help students understand and to act based on an awareness of their connections to one another, the value of community and the joy of living amidst diversity of all kinds.

A Holistic Approach For Cultural Change - Marc Levitt - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Marc Levitt''s A Holistic Approach for Cultural Change: Character Education for Ages 13-15 asks educators to consider how our contemporary curriculum and pedagogy supports isolation and competition, rather than our goals for school culture change. Mr. Levitt explores themes such as ''vengeance,'' ''prejudice,'' ''communications in relationships,'' ''trapping oneself in past behaviors,'' ''respecting one''s heritage,'' and ''learning to embrace one''s own story'' through his original stories. Suggestions for curriculum and pedagogical changes follow, helping educators share the larger personal and social implications of Mr. Levitt’s stories, while teaching and demonstrating how we are ‘All in it Together’. A Holistic Approach for School-Based Culture Change: Character Education for Ages 13-15 helps educators build a caring and socially intelligent community of students in a way that is neither ''preachy'' nor condescending, acknowledging and encouraging our ‘mutuality of interests.

Self-Supervision - Marc Lubin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Self-Supervision - Marc Lubin - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Self-Supervision: Psychodynamic Strategies invites therapists to construct ways to achieve a more extensive and effective self-awareness and develop a ''self-supervisory self.'' Appealing to teachers, students, and supervisors, Dr. Marc Lubin and Dr. Jed Yalof outline a process of teaching, learning, and strengthening a self-supervisory attitude. This book highlights how self-supervision can be taught and how its practice can deepen the treatment experience as the therapist reflects and takes "second-and-third-looks" through repeated dives into the clinical material, where each successive look has the promise of insight and understanding. The processing moves from the surface of conscious thought to the integration of less conscious experiences that tie back to the clinical exchange but with a different perspective, enhanced by listening to the self-supervisory self. The authors recommend strategies through case illustrations that provide therapists with a roadmap for processing clinical exchanges while working in a diverse set of psychotherapy training contexts. This approach informs the patient-therapist-supervisor experience by describing methods for achieving a deeper and more informed self-supervisory experience. How, for example, will a therapist know that they achieved an alternative state of understanding of a complex clinical interaction when self-supervising in response to the manifest clinical material? How does the therapist articulate and describe how this shift occurred? What were the steps that led to a new perspective where a key word in a transcript review or process note triggered a series of seemingly random associations, which, when tracked in a stepwise sequence of ''a, then b, then c,'' led to an elaborated and coherent narrative of what felt initially like a moment of impasse? How did the coalescence of this material illuminate not only the patient''s underlying dynamics but also served to clarify aspects of the supervisory relationship that were not obvious prior to the self-supervisory activity? These are the type of questions addressed in this creative, teachable, and psychodynamically informed approach to self-supervision.

A Nearly Perfect Season - Chris Willis - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The San Francisco 49ers entered the 1984 season determined to erase the memory of their three point loss to the Washington Redskins in the NFC Championship Game the year before. Nineteen games later, they had not only won the Super Bowl, they had redefined NFL history by becoming the first team to win 18 games in a single season. Led by Hall of Fame head coach Bill Walsh and future Hall of Fame players Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, and Fred Dean, the 1984 San Francisco 49ers finished the season with just one defeat. A Nearly Perfect Season: The Inside Story of the 1984 San Francisco 49ers chronicles the story of one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Through in-depth research and extensive interviews, Chris Willis details every aspect of this memorable season, from the preseason training camp through Super Bowl XIX. Inside stories from the 49ers are brought to life in colorful detail, including Joe Montana’s penchant for stealing teammates’ bikes during camp, the players’ pre-game superstitions, and what went on in the 49ers’ locker room before Super Bowl XIX. In addition, Chris Willis had complete access to Bill Walsh’s game plans and meeting tapes, revealing the intense preparation the coach and his staff went through to give their team the greatest chance for success on the field. Featuring original interviews with more than 30 players from the team—including Dwaine Board, Roger Craig, Fred Dean, Keith Fahnhorst, Riki Ellison, Guy McIntyre, and Keena Turner—and interviews with the coaches and the general manager, this book provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of a season to remember.

Writing Instruction for Generation 2.0 - Gloria E. Jacobs - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Writing Instruction for Generation 2.0 - Gloria E. Jacobs - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Writing Instruction for Generation 2.0 addresses many of the concerns teachers have about the impact of the digital world on student writing and suggests ways for teachers to approach these issues within a 21st century literacies framework. This book is not about teaching the writing process, running a writing workshop, or using specific digital tools to support writing instruction. Forward-thinking teachers who wish to understand the 21st century literacies, understand what youth are doing in respect to those literacies, and discover how they can apply this knowledge to classroom instruction will find answers to their questions. The chapters include specific suggestions, but those suggestions are meant as a jumping-off point for imaginative and innovative teachers to adapt to meet the specific needs of students in their classrooms.

Leading Learning in a Changing World - Jacqueline E. Jacobs - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Leading Learning in a Changing World - Jacqueline E. Jacobs - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Professional development activities have proven adequate to facilitate mastery of new content, inform teachers of best practice, and for dissemination of information, however, such efforts fail to address the emotional and personal aspects of the teaching profession. Here is a hands-on activities book that provides school leaders an easy-to-use format for the delivery of professional development sessions for K-12 personnel. It details three major topics: social realities (e.g. societal trauma), diversity (e.g. Disabilities), and community conundrums (e.g. economic uncertainties). The uniqueness of this book is the activity design using children''s literature to provide a neutral framework for discussion of often-difficult issues. The authors provide an opportunity for teachers to explore their underlying assumptions, unacknowledged biases, or often unspoken feelings about issues that are central to student success. They seek to regain professional responsibility to solve problems and improve education in our ever-changing world. For administrators or teacher leaders who are on the cutting edge of facilitating professional development for problem solving issues in our schools.
