What's Maori about Maori Education ? The struggle for a meaningful context
order quantity
NZ$ 50.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Wally Penetito
Published by:
Victoria University Press
It is relatively easy to critique the New Zealand education system and show how inequalities in the treatment of Maori students have gone on for generations, to the extent that Maori justifiably perceive the system as being inherently biased against them. It is far more difficult to explain why Maori, despite their warrior heritage, persist in seeking out compromise positions with a dominant mainstream, or how they can do this without allowing a kind of refining or 'thinning out' of what it means to be Maori (what Foucault aptly refers to as 'procedures of rarefaction'). The slogan popularised in the mid-1900s, following Sir Apirana Ngata's familiar aphorism, 'E tipu e rea' - reinterpreted as 'we want the best of both worlds' - has not diminished in salience, and indeed may even have taken on a more strident note in the contemporary form 'we demand the best of all worlds'. This is a story about what it feels like to be a Maori in an ...

What Expert Teachers Do : Enhancing Professional Knowledge for Classroom Practice
order quantity
NZ$ 55.00 each
Paperback
Author:
John Loughran
Published by:
Allen & Unwin(Australia) Pty Ltd
How do expert teachers do it? How do they enhance student learning? How do they manage the dilemmas and tensions inherent in working with 25 different students in every lesson? John Loughran argues that teachers' knowledge of what they do is largely tacit and often misunderstood. In this book, he distils the essence of professional practice for classroom teachers. Drawing on the best research on pedagogy, he outlines the crucial principles of teaching and learning, and shows how they are translated into practice using real classroom examples. He emphasises that teaching procedures need to be part of an integrated approach, so that they are genuinely meaningful and result in learning. He shows how teachers can engage their students in ways that create a real 'need to know', and a desire to become active learners. What Expert Teachers Do is for teachers who want to become really accomplished practitioners.

Cindi Rigsbee
Published by:
Jossey Bass
"Finding Mrs. Warnecke" tells the inspiring story of Cindi Rigsbee, a three-time Teacher of the Year, and Barbara Warnecke, the first-grade teacher who had a profound and lasting impact on Cindi's life. Cindi, an insecure child who craved positive attention, started her first-grade year with a teacher who was emotionally abusive and played favorites in the classroom. Two months into the school year, her principal came into the classroom and announced that half the students were being moved to another classroom--a dank, windowless basement room, with a young and inexperienced teacher. This change turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to Cindi. Her new teacher, Mrs. Warnecke, made learning come alive for her students. She went overboard caring for each child, made her classroom "magical," and encouraged students to pursue their dreams. Although Cindi was reluctant to explore her creativity as a student, Mrs. Warnecke ...

Paperback
Author:
Ronald D. Davis with Eldon M. Braun
Published by:
Souvenir Press Ltd
Like other dyslexics, Ronald Davis had unusual gifts of creativity and imagination, but couldn t function probably at school and it wasn't until he was an adult that he discovered techniques that allowed him to read easily.
