As grandes instituições privadas com fins lucrativos da área educacional formam uma rede política que busca transformar a educação básica no Brasil, notadamente desde a década de 1990, em produto, e tirar dela a maior rentabilidade, levando para o centro da política educacional a lógica gerencialista. O livro Atuação e expansão da empresa Kroton Educacional na Educação Básica analisa o movimento da Kroton e da holding Saber na expansão do mercado privado na educação básica e desvela como o modelo de gestão educacional da Kroton perpassa a organização e o trabalho pedagógico de escolas públicas e privadas. Desde, pelo menos, os anos 2000, as compras, fusões, aquisiç...
Diante das novas configurações curriculares de Ensino Médio, esta obra apresenta em caráter de investigação das percepções dos jovens estudantes, considerando que são esses sujeitos em desenvolvimento para um mundo em constante transformação. As jovens gerações serão as primeiras a atravessar o século XXI, o que implica no potente significado da escuta por meio da pesquisa neste momento histórico. Poder discutir o que nos evidenciam, vem a somar com a estruturação coletiva de um novo Ensino Médio que se empenha em propostas curriculares inovadoras, ativas e (co)criativas, com foco no pensamento crítico, na colaboração engajada e na construção de conhecimentos relevantes. Nesse sentido, reconhece-se a contínua aposta no diálogo com as juventudes, para e na constituição de projetos de vida significativos, através do investimento no protagonismo dos estudantes, na convivência democrática e na busca por novas formas de educar, evangelizar e promover integralmente a vida.
Está em curso o crescimento das formas de realização do trabalho no setor público, trazendo modificações na vida do trabalhador em Educação, seja pela intensificação – volume de tarefas –, seja pela carga horária – quantidade de horas na execução de tarefas –, ou, ainda, pelo uso das tecnologias on-line – execução de tarefa por equipamento móvel. Essas são constatações visíveis no trabalho. Então, pode-se perguntar: (I) Na educação, que impactos trazem essas alterações para o trabalho do diretor de escola pública? (II) Como lutar pela gestão democrática e, ao mesmo tempo, conviver com outras formas que aumentam o trabalho do diretor escolar? Este livro resulta de pesquisa realizada entre 2014 e 2017, que contou com a participação de 26 diretoras e diretores escolares de escolas do ensino médio regular do Distrito Federal. As análises aqui desenvolvidas ainda contam com a participação de pesquisadores da área que, com suas reflexões, ajudam a desvendar as opções políticas e teórico-metodológicas que cercam o trabalho de diretoras e diretores de escolas públicas.
Reflections on Language Teacher Identity Research is the first book to present understandings of language teacher identity (LTI) from a broad range of research fields. Drawing on their personal research experience, 41 contributors locate LTI within their area of expertise by considering their conceptual understanding of LTI and the methodological approaches used to investigate it. The chapters are narrative in nature and take the form of guided reflections within a common chapter structure, with authors embedding their discussions within biographical accounts of their professional lives and research work. Authors weave discussions of LTI into their own research biographies, employing a personal reflective style. This book also looks to future directions in LTI research, with suggestions for research topics and methodological approaches. This is an ideal resource for students and researchers interested in language teacher identity as well as language teaching and research more generally.

Through her uncomplicated formula for success -- God first, family second and career third -- she achieved her dream.She inspired. She motivated. She cared.

Because she believed that women would understand and support her mission, her legacy will continue to grow, inspiring generations of women around the world to believe that miracles happen.
