Book Synopsis Living and Learning in the Free School by : Mark Novak
Download or read book Living and Learning in the Free School written by Mark Novak and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1975-01-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a pioneering study of a free school in an eastern Canadian city. The author describes the attempts of a small group of people to set up a school, bound in some ways to the conventional system, yet reaching beyond it with different ideals. One great value of the study is its careful description of the day-to-day activities as order and organization emerge from amorphous beginnings and develop in spite of threats from within and without. Further, the history of this specific free school is related to broader currents of North American life and to broader issues in social action and education.

Book Synopsis Voices of Children by : Wilbur Rippy
Download or read book Voices of Children written by Wilbur Rippy and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these pages you will meet the children and teachers of the Fifteenth Street School, who collaborated during the 1960's to create an environment for self-directed learning. The voices of these children attest today, as they did five decades ago, to the resources and capacities of young people everywhere, and inspire hope for the future.I am excited about this book. Without a doubt, it reflects the interesting and beautiful way that Wilbur and Rachel worked with all the children at the Fifteenth Street School. --Paul Fusco, photographer, Magnum Photos, school parentAt one level, this is an interesting story about an innovative school, located at a particular time and place. Even more than that, it is about taking children seriously-really seeing them, hearing them, giving them the respect most of us regularly give to adults. The lessons from that story are timeless and universal. We are so lucky that Wilbur wrote down what he saw and heard and that Rachel has narrated the story so clearly. Not by preaching, but by example, this book can help us all become better parents, teachers, and friends to children.--Peter GrayResearch Professor at Boston College, author of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life.Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Alliance for Self-Directed Education (ASDE).

Download or read book Mindstorms written by Seymour A Papert and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.
Book Synopsis What is Unschooling? by : Pam Laricchia
Download or read book What is Unschooling? written by Pam Laricchia and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are born curious, creative, and wired to learn—and we value those traits in adults! Still, as our children grow up, we often insist they change to fit into the education system, where curiosity is replaced by curricula, creativity by conformity, and learning by memorizing.But if you’d rather nurture your children’s curiosity, creativity, and love of learning, let me introduce you to the world of unschooling. In this short book, we’ll explore some of the common questions people have when they first hear about unschooling:What is unschooling?How will my child learn?Without a curriculum, what will they learn?How do I know they’re learning?Will unschooling work for my child?But what if my child already has trouble at school?What is deschooling?How do I get started?Life in the real world is much bigger and more exciting than a school can contain within its four walls. If you're ready to embrace life and eager to share its wonder with your children, unschooling might be for you!
Book Synopsis Occupy Education by : Tina Lynn Evans

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupy Education is motivated by the sustainability crisis and energized by the drive for social justice that inspired the Occupy movement. Situated within the struggle for sustainability taking place amid looming resource shortages, climate change, economic instability, and ecological breakdown, the book is a timely contribution to community education and action. It opens a whole realm of integrated theory to educators and sustainability activists - and demonstrates how that theory can be moved into practice. Occupy Education is an excellent text for courses in sustainability studies, social philosophy, globalization, social justice, food system praxis, sustainability education, political economy, and environmental studies.
Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Synopsis Dumbing Us Down by : John Taylor Gatto
Download or read book Dumbing Us Down written by John Taylor Gatto and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 70,000 copies of the first edition in print, this radical treatise on public education has been a New Society Publishers’ bestseller for 10 years! Thirty years in New York City’s public schools led John Gatto to the sad conclusion that compulsory schooling does little but teach young people to follow orders like cogs in an industrial machine. This second edition describes the wide-spread impact of the book and Gatto’s "guerrilla teaching." John Gatto has been a teacher for 30 years and is a recipient of the New York State Teacher of the Year award. His other titles include A Different Kind of Teacher (Berkeley Hills Books, 2001) and The Underground History of American Education (Oxford Village Press, 2000).

Book Synopsis Texting Toward Utopia by : Ben Agger
Download or read book Texting Toward Utopia written by Ben Agger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the contemporary era where parents complain that children today don't do their homework because they are distracted by the Internet, texting, and video games. Texting Toward Utopia presents the writings of todays children and develops the argument that this is actually a time of mass literary, in which young people write furiously, albeit often below the adult radar. Agger argues that where texting replaces textbooks, the writing may be emoticon-laden, slangy, or terse, but it is still profound, as children (and their parents) engage in resistance and write for a better world. This book is a guide to understanding the meeting point between a new generation of children and new communication technologies.

Book Synopsis Einstein & Zen by : Conrad P. Pritscher
Download or read book Einstein & Zen written by Conrad P. Pritscher and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a strong case for free schooling, comparing the mind of Albert Einstein - who said much - to Zen conscious practice, which says little but encompasses everything. Examining the work of brain researchers, neuroscientists, physicists, and other scholars to illuminate the commonalities between Einstein's thought and the Zen practice of paying attention to one's present experience, the book reveals their many similarities, showing the development of self-direction as a key to fostering compassionate consideration of others and to harmonious, semi-effortless learning and living. Examples demonstrate that students who choose to study what is interesting, remarkable, and important for them tend to become more like Einstein than students with the rigid school curricula; students who are free to learn often demonstrate empathy, and less rigid rule-following, while involved in the process of imaginatively becoming their own oracles and self-educators.
Book Synopsis Alternative Schooling and Student Engagement by : Nina Bascia
Download or read book Alternative Schooling and Student Engagement written by Nina Bascia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the unique phenomenon of public alternative schools in Toronto, Canada and other large urban areas. Although schools of this kind have existed for more than a century, very little has been written about the alternative school movement. These alternatives focus more on child-centered instruction, give many students (and teachers) opportunities to organize the school differently, provide a greater voice for teachers, students, and parents, and engage students far more with experiential learning. When traditional school structures are failing to meet the needs of many children and youth, there is a rapidly growing need for information and discussion about alternatives that will encourage their talents and serve their needs. This book draws attention to the issue of alternative schooling to help make it more accessible to a wider audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers how various sociological approaches to the exploration of the conditions of teachers’ might be co-ordinated so as to produce a more penetrating and reliable understanding of the main dimensions of teachers’ work. Three dimensions are selected for special attention: historical, institutional and interactional contexts in which teachers operate. In different way the papers in this collection explore the contribution such an investigation of these contexts can make to our understanding of wider educational concerns.
