The School I'd Like: Revisited by Catherine Burke,Ian Grosvenor Pdf

‘Wonderfully illuminated by children's essays, stories, poems, pictures and plans, this ground-breaking book offers a unique snapshot of the perceptions of today's school pupils’. -French bookstore Lavoisier www.lavoisier.fr In 2001, The Guardian launched a ground-breaking competition called ‘The School I'd Like’, in which young people were asked to imagine their ideal school. This vibrant and compelling book presents material drawn from that competition, offering a unique snapshot of perceptions of schools by those who matter most - the pupils. In 2011, The Guardian re-launched the competition and this updated 2nd edition reflects upon the next generation of reflections and summarises, through the children’s insightful commentary, what has changed over the intervening decade. The book is wonderfully illustrated by children's essays, stories, poems, pictures and plans. Placing their views in the centre of the debate, it provides an evaluation of the democratic processes involved in teaching and learning by: • identifying consistencies in children's expressions of how they wish to learn • highlighting particular sites of 'disease' in the education system today • illustrating how the built environment is experienced by today's children • posing questions about the reconstruction of teaching and learning for the twenty-first century. The School I’d Like: Revisited offers a powerful perspective on school reform and is essential reading for all those involved in education and childhood studies, including teachers, advisors, policy-makers, academics, and anyone who believes that children's voices should not be ignored.

Summary of Tom Segura's Id Like to Play Alone Please by Milkyway Media Pdf

Get the Summary of Tom Segura's Id Like to Play Alone Please in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Tom Segura's book "I'd Like to Play Alone, Please" offers a candid look into his life, family, and career as a comedian. His father, a retired Marine Corps Captain, is known for his abrupt social exits and explicit discussions about his digestive health, while his mother, a Peruvian immigrant, is polite yet direct. Tom's childhood dreams of a medical career were dashed after witnessing surgeries, and his passion for hip-hop and sports shaped his identity. His experiences in Peru, where he spent summers, helped him embrace his Peruvian heritage and taught him the value of using personal strengths to overcome challenges. Segura's encounters with celebrities like Bruce Bruce and Big Daddy Kane highlight his journey in the comedy world, where he faced the realities of cultural appropriation and the challenges of building a fan base. Despite setbacks, Segura's persistence led to success with his Netflix special and his popular podcast, "Your Mom's House." The book also delves into his personal life, including his relationship with his wife and the unique personalities of his two sons. Segura's reflections on language, parental love, and the unpredictability of life offer a humorous yet poignant perspective on the complexities of navigating fame, family, and personal growth.

Education (RLE Edu K) by M VC Jeffreys Pdf

This book discusses the very nature and purpose of education and provides a foundation upon which more specialized studies in the psychology, history and sociology of education can be based. The book therefore surveys the main problems of human life – the relation of the individual and society, freedom and authority, continuity and change (i.e.growth), and underlying them all, the paradox that aspiration and frustration are continually linked in human experience. The educational implications of these various problems are considered in such a way that the methods as well as the aims of education are discussed.

TOWARDS A SOCIOLOGY OF DYSLEXIA: Exploring Links between Dyslexia, Disability and Social Class by Stephen James Macdonald Pdf

The aim of this book is to establish a sociological understanding of dyslexia within adulthood. The research explores the effects dyslexia has on the lives of individuals within an educational and employment context. A feature of the study is that it draws from literature within the social model of disability rather than employing the psycho- educational approach that dominates contemporary research. The study has placed dyslexia within the field of disability studies in an attempt to understand how this syndrome can be interpreted through the concept of disabling barriers. In order to explore dyslexia within the field of disability studies the book employs a biographical narrative approach. The book discusses the importance of identifying and supporting people with dyslexia within education and employment. By acknowledging that dyslexia is affected by issues of socio- economic status, the research has broadened the debate in relation to labelling individuals within education. The study has developed a pro-labelling approach based on evidence from the social and educational perspectives in order to represent the voices of participants within this study.
