Pacific Voices Talk Story by Margo King-Lenson Pdf
Volume three continues this first ongoing book series concerning Pacific Islanders in the mainland today. Why? Because not enough attention is given to Islanders in the Asian Pacific American model. Not enough is "out there" that honestly reveals who we are to others or even to ourselves. In this volume, Islanders from Hawaii to Chuuk to Cook Islands confront their American experience upfront and personal with editor Margo King Lenson, herself a Pacific Islander of Samoan Filipina descent in search of heritage, identity, and meaning in America.
Vol 2 continues book series of conversations conducted by Pacific Islander Margo King Lenson with other Pacific Islanders living in the mainland. Micronesia, Guam, Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, and Philippines represent an historical, cultural and emotional ever-presence for interviewees who now consider the mainland home.

Schooling for Sustainable Development Across the Pacific by John Chi-Kin Lee,Rob Efird Pdf
Environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) are asserting their growing role in curricula around the world, yet how deeply embedded are they in the learning systems of the Pacific nations? Building on an earlier analysis in China and Taiwan, this volume expands its purview to examine the quality and extent of environmental and sustainable development education in a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including China itself, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Indonesia. As well as offering detailed national analyses provided by Asian-Pacific academics and professionals, this work includes examples in the US and Canada and an introduction that assesses the contrasting challenges and positive commonalities among diverse education systems. The chapters reflect leading-edge practice, innovation, and depth of experience and at the same time as detailing locally relevant and culturally appropriate strategies they also provide clear models and strategies for expanding the application and influence of education for sustainable development elsewhere. In doing so, they mirror the global nature of environmental issues as well as the local nature of the solutions.
