Loris Malaguzzi and the Schools of Reggio Emilia: A selection of his writings and speeches, 1945-1993 (Contesting Early Childhood)
by Peter Moss Paola Cagliari Marina Castagnetti Claudia Giudici Carlina Rinaldi Vea VecchiLoris Malaguzzi was one of the most important figures in 20th century early childhood education, achieving world-wide recognition for his educational ideas and his role in the creation of municipal schools for young children in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia, the most successful example ever of progressive, democratic and public education. Despite Malaguzzi’s reputation, very little of what he wrote or said about early childhood education has been available in English. This book helps fill the gap, presenting for the first time in English, writings and speeches spanning 1945 to 1993, selected by a group of his colleagues from an archive established in Reggio Emilia. They range from short poems, letters and newspaper articles to extended pieces about Malaguzzi’s early life, the origins of the municipal schools and his ideas about children, pedagogy and schools. This material is organised into five chronological chapters, starting at the end of World War Two and ending just before his death, with introductions to each chapter providing background, including the historical context, the main events in Malaguzzi’s life and the rationale for the selection of documents. The book provides a unique insight into the background, thinking and work of Malaguzzi, revealing, in his own words, how his thinking developed, how he moved between theory and practice, how he border-crossed many disciplines and subjects, and how he combined many roles ranging from administrator and campaigner to researcher and pedagogue. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find this landmark publication provides rich insights into his life and work.

Los porteros; los guardias
by DR Pensacola H JeffersonUn PROCESO, de cualquier tipo, implica una secuencia de acciones o movimientos que efectúan cambios hacia adelante. “… Y en el PROCESO del tiempo, ACABÓ DE PASAR…” (Génesis 4: 3 KJV). Estos cambios de avance pueden ser una sucesión de actividades gradual, rápida, extremadamente lenta o constante. Independientemente de lo rápido o lento que sea el PROCESO; SIEMPRE es una secuencia continua de acciones o movimientos con un propósito definido y un resultado final. “… A través de este PROCESO el sacerdote te purificará de tu pecado, HACIENDO JUSTICIA con el Señor, y serás perdonado…” (Levítico 5:10 NTV). PROCESO tiene como objetivo mover o llevar a cabo cosas o individuos hacia adelante y la secuencia de acciones o movimientos a menudo parece inexistente o prácticamente invisible. “… Andad POR FE…” (2 Corintios 5: 7 KJV). La secuencia de acciones o movimientos, en un PROCESO, son tareas o procedimientos individuales que TODOS se vinculan para producir una meta o alcanzar un resultado final. “… Luego debe bañarse con agua en un lugar sagrado, (SIGUIENTE) ponerse sus ropas regulares, y (SIGUIENTE) salir a sacrificar un holocausto para él y un holocausto para el pueblo. A través de este PROCESO, se purificará a sí mismo y a la gente, haciéndolos justos con el Señor… ”. (Levítico 16:24 NLT). El PROCESO de secuencias y acciones se trata de una cosa o posiblemente un individuo QUE SE ALTERA a través de esta procesión de movimientos hacia adelante. “… A través de este PROCESO, HIZO santo el altar purificándolo…” (Levítico 8: 5 NTV). Eventualmente, PROCESS producirá un resultado después de un cierto período de tiempo. “… Y en el PROCESO del tiempo“ ACABÓ ”A PASAR…” (Génesis 4: 3 KJV). Además, PROCESO es una secuencia de acciones y movimientos que requieren una cierta cantidad de tiempo y tareas o procedimientos particulares que trabajan juntos

Losing Heart: The Moral and Spiritual Miseducation of America's Children
by H. Svi ShapiroIn this book Svi Shapiro explores the ideological and attitudinal functions of schools, looking especially at what is called the 'hidden curriculum.' He offers both an analysis of the role of education in producing and maintaining attitudes and values that contribute to our competitive, socially unequal, instrumental, consumerist, and self-oriented culture and a radically different vision for what our schools should be about--a vision that focuses on education's role in supporting a more critically reflective, socially responsible, and compassionate culture.Federal and state legislation have propelled schools today in the direction of an increasingly test-driven, instrumental, and individually competitive regime. Under these legislative mandates, schools are increasingly alienating and stressful places for both students and teachers. Most disturbing is that this form of education is not conducive to providing young people with the capacity to cope with the moral, cultural, spiritual, and political challenges of the world they inhabit. More than only offering a critique of schools, Shapiro proposes a counter-vision that can lead to a different kind of culture and society, and he discusses strategies for advocating and implementing it. Written in a style that is very accessible to a wide range of readers, Losing Heart: The Moral and Spiritual Miseducation of America's Children is also carefully researched and draws on relevant theory to make a strong case.This book speaks to a wide range of readers, including academics and students in education, sociology, anthropology, political science, and cultural studies; public school professionals; and the general public interested in education. It will appeal to faculty in schools of education who are looking for a text that offers both a critical language and one that speaks to possibility and change.
Losing My Faculties
by Brendan HalpinIn his first nine years as a teacher, Brendan Halpin goes from wide-eyed idealist to cynical, heartbroken idealist. Unique among teaching memoirs, Losing My Faculties is not the story of a heroic teacher who transforms the lives of his hardbitten students; rather, it's the inspirational and often unpretty truth about people who choose to get up ridiculously early day after day and year after year to go stand in front of teenagers. It's also a rarely-seen, all-access view of both suburban and urban education, including the ugly truth behind the mythology at a much-hyped charter school.

Lost Boys: How Education is Failing Young Working-Class Men
by Alex BlowerSince the mid-2000s, consistent commentary from politicians and media outlets in the UK have presented low educational attainment and low aspiration as defining attributes of working-class boys in education. It has often characterised them as misogynistic, aggressive and unwilling to learn. But how true is this? Combining research, real-life case studies and the author’s experience of navigating school exclusion, this book provides clear recommendations for how to better support the health, wellbeing and vulnerabilities of working-class boys and men through both policy and practice. Challenging us to reconsider ideas about the role of masculinity in the lives of working-class boys and men, the book asks what would change if, instead of focusing on perceived individual failures, we considered the troubled relationship between working-class boys and the social and educational systems in which they reside.
Lost Child: The True Story of a Girl Who Couldn't Ask for Help
by Torey HaydenThe first new book from beloved therapist and writer Torey Hayden in almost fifteen years—an inspiring, uplifting tale of a troubled child and the remarkable woman who made a difference.In a forgotten corner of Wales, a young girl languishes in a home for troubled children. Abandoned by her parents because of her violent streak, Jessie—at the age of ten—is at risk of becoming just another lost soul in the foster system. Precocious and bold, Jessie is convinced she is possessed by the devil and utterly unprepared for the arrival of therapist Torey Hayden. Armed with patience, compassion, and unconditional love, Hayden begins working with Jessie once a week. But when Jessie makes a stunning accusation against one of Hayden’s colleagues – a man Hayden implicitly trusts – Hayden’s work doubles: now she must not only get to the root of Jessie’s troubles, but also find out if what the girl alleges is true.A moving, compelling, and inspiring account, Lost Child is a powerful testament once again of Torey Hayden’s extraordinary ability to reach children who many have given up on—and a reminder of how patience and love can ultimately prevail.
Lost Classroom, Lost Community: Catholic Schools' Importance in Urban America
by Margaret F. Brinig Nicole Stelle GarnettIn the past two decades in the United States, more than 1,600 Catholic elementary and secondary schools have closed, and more than 4,500 charter schools--public schools that are often privately operated and freed from certain regulations--have opened, many in urban areas. With a particular emphasis on Catholic school closures, Lost Classroom, Lost Community examines the implications of these dramatic shifts in the urban educational landscape. More than just educational institutions, Catholic schools promote the development of social capital--the social networks and mutual trust that form the foundation of safe and cohesive communities. Drawing on data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods and crime reports collected at the police beat or census tract level in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, Margaret F. Brinig and Nicole Stelle Garnett demonstrate that the loss of Catholic schools triggers disorder, crime, and an overall decline in community cohesiveness, and suggest that new charter schools fail to fill the gaps left behind. This book shows that the closing of Catholic schools harms the very communities they were created to bring together and serve, and it will have vital implications for both education and policing policy debates.
