Download or read book Unbeaching the Whale: Can Australia’s Schooling Be Reformed? written by Dean Ashenden and published by Inside Story. This book was released on 2024-03-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools are livelier and more humane places than they were a generation or two ago. But many things are going badly in the basics of school life — in behaviour, discipline, school refusal, bullying, engagement, mental health, wellbeing — as well as in learning. Too many start behind, stay behind, and then leave early, unhappy and ill-equipped. The standing and morale of teachers are at a low ebb. Repeated attempts at reform large and small, local and national, haven’t worked. The “education revolution” of the Rudd–Gillard years failed. And yet thinking and policy continue to be dominated by its language of “performance” and “accountability,” its tests, MySchool, “national approach” and “school reform agreements” and its stunted view of what schools can be. Unbeaching the Whale offers a more generous way of thinking about schools. It insists that they can and should deliver twelve safe, happy and worthwhile years for everyone. It argues compellingly for a different kind of reform — of governance, of the sector system, and above all of the daily work of students and teachers. Pungent, sober, inspiring, urgent, Unbeaching the Whale is that rare thing, a book about schooling that is lucid, jargon-free, challenging and gripping. Dean Ashenden has worked in and around schools as a teacher, academic and consultant, and in journalism. He has contributed to all major print outlets and to many professional, academic and social affairs journals. His previous book, Telling Tennant’s Story, was inaugural winner of the Australian Political Book of the Year Award. He is a Senior Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne.

Book excerpt: Schools are livelier and more humane places than they were a generation or two ago. But many things are going badly in the basics of school life - in 'behaviour', 'discipline', 'school refusal', 'bullying', 'engagement', 'mental health', 'wellbeing' - as well as in learning. Too many start behind and stay behind, then leave early, unhappy and ill-equipped. The standing and morale of teachers are at a low ebb. Repeated attempts at reform large and small, local and national, haven't worked; the 'education revolution' of the Rudd/Gillard years failed. And yet thinking and policy continue to be dominated by its language of 'performance' and 'accountability', its tests, MySchool, 'national approach', 'school reform agreements' and its stunted view of what schools can be. Unbeaching the Whale offers a more generous way of thinking about schools. It insists that they can and should deliver 12 safe, happy and worthwhile years, for everyone. It argues compellingly for a different kind of reform - of governance, of the 'sector' system, and above all of the daily work of students and teachers. Pungent, sober, inspiring, urgent, Unbeaching the Whale is that rare thing, a book about schooling that is lucid, jargon-free, challenging and gripping.

Book excerpt: "These legends (with two or three exceptions) were told to me personally by my honored friend, the late Chief Joe Capilano, of Vancouver, whom I had the privilege of first meeting in London in 1906, when he visited England and was received at Buckingham Palace by their Majesties King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. To the fact that I was able to greet Chief Capilano in the Chinook tongue, while we were both many thousands of miles from home, I owe the friendship and the confidence which he so freely gave me when I came to reside on the Pacific coast. These legends he told me from time to time, just as the mood possessed him, and he frequently remarked that they had never been revealed to any other English-speaking person save myself."--Author's pref.

She gives readers her unique perspective on Africa and its developmental issues acquired through her life and education. The result is a memoir that is inspiring, entertaining, and educational.

Book excerpt: Australians have always volunteered to help in emergencies, especially when the nation has been at war. During the Boer War, World War I and World War II, volunteers from all walks of life raised money, assisted with nursing and rehabilitation, and provided food and clothing. Servicemen and women were helped both at home and in the field. The main wartime volunteer organisations were the Australian Red Cross, the Australian Comforts Funds, the Salvation Army, and the YMCA with the YWCA. Their story and the stories of countless wartime civilian volunteers is told for the first time, revealing important aspects of Australian social and political life. For example, it was the pressure of the volunteers that forced governments to act on essential matters like repatriation benefits for returning soldiers and for the welfare of their dependents.
