Seeking Common Ground: Public Schools in a Diverse Society
by David B TyackThe American republic will survive only if its citizens are educated--this was an article of faith of its founders. But seeking common civic ground in public schools has never been easy in a society where schoolchildren followed different religions, adhered to different cultural traditions, spoke many languages, and were identified as members of different "races." In this wise and enlightening book, filled with vivid characters and memorable incidents that make history but don't always make history books, David Tyack describes how each American generation grappled with the knotty task of creating political unity and social diversity.

Seeking Wisdom in Adult Teaching and Learning
by Wilma FraserThis book concerns the pursuit of wisdom in education, and the argument that wisdom - personified here as Sophia - is tragically marginalised or absent in current Western epistemological discourses. It includes a review of key historical and classical framings which have lost much potency and relevance as certain cultural narratives hold sway; these include the reductionist, technicist and highly instrumentalist discourses which shape the articulation and delivery of much education policy and practice, whilst reflecting similar troubling framings from broader neoliberal perspectives. Fraser argues that wisdom's marginalisation has had, and continues to have, profoundly deleterious consequences for our educative practices. Through a compelling combination of narrative and autoethnographic techniques, while also drawing on philosophical and cultural traditions, the book pushes at the boundaries of emerging knowledge, including how knowledge is generated. It will be of interest to those who facilitate the learning of adults in a variety of settings as well as to students and supervisors seeking exemplars and 'justification' for working in non-traditional ways.

Seen Locally (Routledge Revivals)
by Henry PluckroseOriginally published in 1989, Henry Pluckrose, well-known as an educational consultant, writer, and lecturer, examines the way in which a study of the local environment can enrich young children’s learning and be used as a starting point for all manner of cross-curriculum work. He explores the ways in which men and women of the past have shaped the physical environment in which contemporary children live and how these changes are reflected in and commented upon by public buildings, their own homes, systems of transport, the streets of village, town, and city, and so on. Written specially for all who have responsibility for young children – teachers, youth leaders, parents – the book offers a wealth of suggestions for helping children look at their everyday environment. It indicates ways in which close observation of place can provide the starting point in a learning programme, showing how information which adult and child obtain together can be recorded through pictures, models, maps, plans, and photographs, and in the written and spoken word. Seen Locally is an invaluable source book of ideas which can be developed and extended within the curriculum guidelines of each individual school.
Seen, Heard, and Valued: Universal Design for Learning and Beyond
by Lee Ann JungTo reach all, we must reach each Every classroom is filled with amazing individuals who vary wildly in who they are as people. This includes BIPOC students, LGBTQIA+ students, and students who are new to the language of instruction, have learning differences, are experiencing poverty, need behavioral supports, have had poor previous instruction, or have endured trauma. This diversity is an asset that educators can leverage when we ensure our instruction is tailored to the strengths and needs of each student. That’s where Universal Design for Learning (UDL) comes in. UDL ensures all students succeed by enabling educators to remove barriers to learning. Supported by neurological and education research, the tenets of UDL challenge educators to engage students and sustain their interest, represent instruction in accessible ways, and support students to demonstrate their learning in multiple ways. This guide shows how UDL can serve as a pathway to equitable learning outcomes through Practical advice for creating safe, affirming learning environments that encourage belonging Demonstration of how to represent content, concepts, and skills in different ways to provide students with multiple modes of expression Tables for planning and reflection Graphics illustrating multiple means of expression By applying UDL principles, educators can anticipate potential barriers to learning and adjust from the start, driving the accessibility of learning for all students by meeting the needs of each student.

Segmentale verschijnselen: Een bijdrage aan diagnostiek en therapie
by Ben CranenburghSegmentale verschijnselen behandelt de theoretische achtergronden en de praktische toepassingen van segmentale relaties in diagnostiek en therapie. Vooral de diagnostische betekenis wordt verder uitgewerkt.De wisselwerking tussen organen en lichaamsdelen heeft zijn oorsprong in een proces van segmentatie dat vroeg in de embryonale ontwikkeling optreedt. Deze wisselwerking binnen het segment heeft voor de huisarts vooral een diagnostisch belang. Door gericht te letten op deze verschijnselen kan de huisarts met eenvoudige middelen in een vroeg stadium op het spoor komen van orgaanafwijking. Voor fysiotherapeuten is natuurlijk de therapeutische toepassing van belang; de beïnvloeding van orgaanfuncties via prikkeling van meer oppervlakkige lichaamsstructuren.
Segmentation of the Aorta. Towards the Automatic Segmentation, Modeling, and Meshing of the Aortic Vessel Tree from Multicenter Acquisition: First Challenge, SEG.A. 2023, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2023, Vancouver, BC, Canada, October 8, 2023, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #14539)
by Jan Egger Antonio Pepe Gian Marco MelitoThis book constitutes the First Segmentation of the Aorta Challenge, SEG.A. 2023, which was held in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2023, on October 8, 2023. The 8 full and 3 short papers presented have been carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They focus specifically on robustness, visual quality and meshing of automatically generated segmentations of aortic vessel trees from CT imaging. The challenge was organized as a ”container submission” challenge, where participants had to upload their algorithms to Grand Challenge in the form of Docker containers. Three tasks were created for SEG.A. 2023.
Segregated Schools: Educational Apartheid in Post-Civil Rights America (Positions: Education, Politics, and Culture)
by Paul StreetFifty years after the US Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" was "inherently unequal," Paul Street argues that little progress has been made to meaningful reform America's schools. In fact, Street considers the racial make-up of today's schools as a state of de facto apartheid. With an eye to historical development of segregated education, Street examines the current state of school funding and investigates disparities in teacher quality, teacher stability, curriculum, classroom supplies, faculties, student-teacher ratios, teacher' expectations for students and students' expectations for themselves. Books in the series offer short, polemic takes on hot topics in education, providing a basic entry point into contemporary issues for courses and general; readers.
Segregation by Experience: Agency, Racism, and Learning in the Early Grades
by Jennifer Keys Adair Kiyomi Sánchez-Suzuki ColegroveEarly childhood can be a time of rich discovery, a period when educators have an opportunity to harness their students’ fascination to create unique learning opportunities. Some teachers engage with their students’ ideas in ways that make learning collaborative--but not all students have access to these kinds of learning environments. In Segregation by Experience, the authors filmed and studied a a first-grade classroom led by a Black immigrant teacher who encouraged her diverse group of students to exercise their agency. When the researchers showed the film to other schools, everyone struggled. Educators admired the teacher but didn’t think her practices would work with their own Black and brown students. Parents of color—many of them immigrants—liked many of the practices, but worried that they would compromise their children. And the young children who viewed the film thought that the kids in the film were terrible, loud, and badly behaved; they told the authors that learning was supposed to be quiet, still, and obedient. In Segregation by Experience Jennifer Keys Adair and Kiyomi Sánchez-Suzuki Colegrove show us just how much our expectations of children of color affect what and how they learn at school, and they ask us to consider which children get to have sophisticated, dynamic learning experiences at school and which children are denied such experiences because of our continued racist assumptions about them.
Segregation in Language Education: The Case of South Tyrol, Italy
by Ann WandThis book sets out to try to understand why segregated schooling still exists, especially in northern Italy in South Tyrol where they practice ‘separate but equal’ education. Supported by the UN, the Austrian and Italian governments, the province is considered a ‘peace model’ due to its consociational approach to dealing with the region’s Nazi and Fascist past, which has led to a ‘negative peace’. The autonomy statutes, which derived from this ‘peace’, resulted in an education system that is linguistically segregated for the purposes of protecting South Tyrol’s ethnolinguistic minorities. Broken into two parts, the book begins with the background history of the province, before describing the region’s geographical layout, demographics, local identity, and its three-part schooling system. By examining responses to South Tyrol’s education system, and its impact on local group dynamics, this book explores the implications that segregated schooling may have on second language acquisition. This case study will be of interest to students and scholars of Italian studies, anthropology, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics, and second language education.

Seized by Truth: Reading the Bible as Scripture
by Joel B. GreenWe read the Bible and interpret Scripture in order to live in grace-filled relation to God's divine purpose.When we approach the Bible as Scripture author, Joel Green, takes seriously the faith statement that the Bible is our Book; these scriptures are our Scripture. We are not reading someone else's mail--as though reading the Bible had to do foremost with recovering an ancient meaning intended for someone else and then translating its principles for use in our own lives. When we recall that we are the people of God to whom the Bible is addressed as Scripture, we realize that the fundamental transformation is not the transformation of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, bur rather the transformation of our lives by means of God's Word. This means that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools we bring to the task, however important these may be, and more to do with our own dispositions as we come to our engagement with Scripture. We come not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed. Scripture does not present us with texts to be mastered but with a Word, God's Word, intent on mastering us, on shaping our lives.

Selbstdisziplin in 365 Zitaten: Zitate für jeden Tag – ändere deine Gewohnheiten, stärke deinen Geist, erreiche deine Ziele
by Xabier K. Fernao„Wir sind, was wir immer wieder tun. Vorzüglichkeit ist daher keine Handlung, sondern eine Gewohnheit.“ – Aristoteles Was ist der wichtigste Faktor, der zwischen Armen und Reichen, Erfolgreichen und Erfolglosen, Glücklichen und Unglücklichen unterscheidet? Selbstdisziplin. Denk mal darüber nach. Wenn du disziplinlos im Beruf bist, häuft sich bald die Arbeit auf, und am Ende bist du gestresst und ausgebrannt. Wenn du disziplinlos mit deinem Geld umgehst, häufst du unnötige Kosten und Schulden auf und bist am Ende finanziell gestresst und ausgebrannt. Du siehst, worauf ich hinauswill. Aber wieso ein Buch mit „Selbstdisziplin in 365 Zitaten“? Stimmst du mir zu, dass Erfolg zu 80% von der Einstellung und nur zu 20% von Strategien und Mechanismen abhängt? Du siehst, worauf ich hinauswill. Die Leute jagen immer den 20% nach, den unrealistischen Dingen, und denken, dass die EINE große Idee sie zu disziplinierten Menschen machen wird. Aber so ist es nicht. Es sind die täglichen Impulse, Eingebungen und nicht zuletzt das Umfeld, die einen jeden Tag aufs Neue zur Disziplin motivieren. Ich weiß nicht, was du dir vorgenommen hast. Vielleicht ist es deine Traumfigur, der Waschbrettbauch, den du immer schon haben wolltest. Vielleicht ist es dein beruflicher Durchbruch, eine Null mehr hinter dem Jahreseinkommen. Es ist auch egal. Was ich aber über dich weiß: du bist jemand, der mehr will. Und das ist ziemlich großartig. Du willst mehr Geld, mehr Gesundheit, mehr Glück, mehr Sex, mehr Lebensfreude, mehr Wissen und mehr Freiheit… und daran ist absolut nichts verkehrt. Im Leben geht es darum, zu wachsen und sich weiterzuentwickeln. Wir können entweder jeden Tag ein bisschen wachsen oder jeden Tag ein bisschen sterben. Ich finde es unglaublich bewundernswert, dass du den Weg bergauf gewählt hast, den Weg des Wachstums und der Selbstdiszip
