Diversifying Schools
This book discusses the strategies that the Singapore Education System has embarked to encourage school change and innovations. It documents the change journey of Specialized Schools and Future Schools in Singapore with a view to understand the key tenets that enable school wide change and reform. The intents for change and reform are to anchor the education system to the basic foundations and principles of education and yet enable the system as a whole to be malleable to change and globalization. It shows how Singapore enables diversity within a structured environment through innovations in Specialized and Future Schools, and highlights the systemic rationale behind various efforts in Specialized and Future Schools and the kinds of adaptations schools have made to leverage structures and make adjustments for their contexts.

Officer Friendly and Other Stories
The stories in this acclaimed debut all take place in the state of Maine—which quickly comes to stand for the state we're all in when we face the moments that change our lives forever. Two roughneck hockey players are kicked off the team and forced to join the drama club. A young bartender at a party of coastal aristocrats has to deal with the surreal request to put a rich old coot out of his misery. Can a father defend his family if the diver helping to free the tangled propeller of their boat turns out to be a real threat? With humor, a piercing eye, and a sense that danger often lies just around the corner, Robinson gives us a variety of vivid characters, wealthy and poor, delinquent and romantic, while illuminating the mythic, universal implications of so-called ordinary life. These stories are at once classic and modern; taken together, they bring the good news that an important, compassionate new voice in American fiction has arrived.
Things You Should Know
Things You Should Know is a collection of dazzling stories by one of the most talented and daring young American writers, whose distinctive narratives demonstrate how extraordinary the ordinary can be. A woman pursues an unconventional strategy for getting pregnant; a former First Lady shows despair and courage in dealing with her husband's Alzheimer's; a teacher's list of 'things you already should know but maybe are a little dumb, so you don't' becomes an obsession for someone who wasn't at school the day it was given out; and adult tragedy intrudes into a childhood friendship. The stories are full of magic and strangeness and humour, but also demonstrate an uncanny emotional accuracy and compassion.
The Education We Need for a Future We Can′t Predict
Improve Schools and Transform Education In order for educational systems to change, we must reevaluate deep-seated beliefs about learning, teaching, schooling, and race that perpetuate inequitable opportunities and outcomes. Hatch, Corson, and Gerth van den Berg challenge the narrative when it comes to the "grammar of schooling"--or the conventional structures, practices, and beliefs that define educational experiences for so many children—to cast a new vision of what school could be. The book addresses current systemic problems and solutions as it: Highlights global examples of successful school change Describes strategies that improve educational opportunities and performance Explores pr...

Their voices were central to the analysis for the main reason that their viewpoints could contribute in a practical way t...
Cosas que debes saber
A. M. Homes ha provocado la indignación de algunos críticos, y la encendida admiración de muchos otros. En Cosas que debes saber, la autora vuelve a su territorio favorito, el microcosmos de los barrios residenciales, el descubrimiento de lo siniestro en lo familiar. Así, nos encontramos en La lección china con un marido que utiliza un GPS para encontrar a su suegra. En Geórgica, una mujer que ha cancelado su boda espía los encuentros amorosos de los atléticos socorristas de las playas, y recoge los preservativos que han usado; El remedio muestra a una iracunda treintañera, resuelta a expulsar de casa de sus padres al budista que ellos han acogido, y que les proporciona una nueva felicidad. En Mantengan la calma, por favor, un hombre obsesionado por la idea de matarse tiene una esposa que considera sus intentos de suicidio como chistes de escaso gusto, y Los niños prodigio es la recreación de un anfetamínico mundo juvenil de sexo, humillación y revelaciones, donde se confunden fantasías y realidad.
Restorative Literacy Practices
What happens when learning is approached as a transaction between teachers, students, texts, and methods? Based on classroom action research conducted in a diverse suburban school district, the author shares a framework that encourages teachers to approach their work with a restorative mindset by focusing on four elements of instruction: methods; literature; relationships; and culture, identity, and language. In each chapter, Faughey shares a scenario or problem from her ELA classroom, the action she took to address it, and the outcomes. Examples include a 9th-grade classroom where students developed podcasts to share their thinking about Romeo and Juliet, a 10th-grade classroom where multil...
