Book Synopsis Every Parent’S Dilemma by : Don Berg
Download or read book Every Parent’S Dilemma written by Don Berg and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact The required foundation for effective and efficient learning is well-being. Good News Children's psychological well-being is supported in K-12 schools that facilitate self-directed learning. Bad News The psychological well-being of children in mainstream K-12 schools is consistently diminished. Silver Lining This good news can transform the bad news. Why do K-12 schools that facilitate self-directed learning serve less than 5% of all students in the USA despite over 100 years of good results? The systematic growth of school models that support self-directed learning has been stunted by hidden barriers. The hidden barriers also prevent more mainstream schools from sustainably adapting their practices to become more nurturing. The barriers are based on a theory of education that is wrong. K-12 policy makers at every level can remove those barriers by making an explicit commitment to ensuring that the schools they oversee support well-being. This book includes the ""Resolution to Build on Well-Being to Achieve K-12 Equity"" which you can take to your favorite policy makers to advocate for the well-being of all students.
Book Synopsis The War Play Dilemma by : Diane E. Levin
Download or read book The War Play Dilemma written by Diane E. Levin and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As violence in the media and media-linked toys increases, parents and teachers are also seeing an increase in children's war play. The authors have revised this popular text to provide more practical guidance for working with children to promote creative play, and for positively influencing the lessons about violence children are learning. Using a developmental and sociopolitical viewpoint, the authors examine five possible strategies for resolving the war play dilemma and show which best satisfy both points of view: banning war play; taking a laissez-faire approach; allowing war play with specified limits; actively facilitating war play; and limiting war play while providing alternative ways to work on the issues. New for the Second Edition are: more anecdotal material about adults'' and children's experiences with war play, including examples from both home and school settings; greater emphasis on the impact of media and commercialization on children's war play, including recent trends in media, programming, marketing, and war toys; expanded discussion about the importance of the distinction between imitative and creative war play; and summary boxes of key points directed at teachers or parents. * New information about violent video games, media cross feeding, and gender development and sex-role stereotyping.

Book excerpt: Many of today's parents yearn to live in or near the lively, culturally vibrant heart of the city—in diverse, walkable neighborhoods full of music and theater, accessible to museums and stores, awash in ethnic eateries, and radiating a true sense of community. This is a major shift from recent generations that saw middle class families trading urban centers for suburbs with lawns, malls, parks, and good schools. But good schools still matter. And standing in the way of many parents' urban aspirations is the question: Will the public schools in the city provide a strong education for my kids? To be sure, lots of parents favor sending their sons and daughters to diverse schools with children from a variety of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. But can such schools successfully meet the educational needs of all those different kids? How do middle class children fare in these environments? Is there enough challenge and stimulation in schools that also struggle to help poor immigrant children reach basic standards? Is there too much focus on test scores? And why is it so hard to find diverse public schools with a progressive, child-centered approach to education? These quandaries and more are addressed in this groundbreaking book by Michael J. Petrilli, one of America's most trusted education experts and a father who himself is struggling with the Diverse Schools Dilemma.
Book Synopsis The Chapters of Life by : Dennis Ufot Ph. D
Download or read book The Chapters of Life written by Dennis Ufot Ph. D and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is rather enlightening us of what could potentially obtain in each chapters of life to stimulate readers thought and inspirations as it relates to their own chapters of life. It will draw you back to think or re-think about what your life’s script is all about and help you to determine your purpose driven life. Everything operates around a cycle. Time, Life, Day and night, career, you name it. It is important that everyone come to terms with this knowledge because this will surely have a positive influence in our thoughts, attitude to things, our behavior towards one another and most especially it will help to shape our belief, streamline our character and determine our destiny. This cycle of events is natural and cannot be stopped. Stopping or removing a battery from a clock can only stop the particular clock from functioning and cannot stop the movement of time universally, neither can it slow it down. There is this popular rhyme we used to sing at pre-nursery which got stuck in my memory till date and so it goes ‘tick says the clock tick tick, what you have to do, do quick’. It simply implies that having the knowledge that the time cannot be stopped for any reason, and I have grown to see that it has never stopped not even for a second, one should know that anything worth doing is worth doing right and on time according to the chapter of his life.
