A stimulating comparative examination of the educational ramifications of cultural identity, with implications for public policy.
The parents of second language children are often seen but not heard in schools. This book is unique in addressing the many issues facing parents of children whose first language is different from that of the school classroom. Drawing on teaching theory, the book provides these parents with a wealth of practical information, guidelines and checklists, enabling them to ask schools intelligent and challenging questions to test whether their children’s linguistic diversity is really being properly catered for. The theory review and best practice guidelines should be of value also to teacher trainers, teachers, administrators and policy makers. They provide an accurate analysis of important issues together with pragmatic pointers towards improving educational practice so that all children growing up in a school’s multicultural society will be guaranteed what they deserve: Equal Rights to the Curriculum.
El acto administrativo es una herramienta fundamental en la función administrativa orientada al cumplimiento del interés general. En los últimos años, en Colombia se han observado varias tendencias importantes que han impactado su desarrollo y aplicación; cada una de ellas va desde la dimensión formal hasta la sustancial del acto administrativo. Un ejemplo de la primera es el acto administrativo electrónico, estudiado en la tipología de los actos administrativos, y como uno de los institutos de la administración pública electrónica. Un ejemplo de la segunda es el acto administrativo compatible con los postulados de la fórmula Estado social de derecho, uno garantista. Por lo anterior, la presente obra posee el desarrollo de algunas tendencias que merecen ser leídas y discutidas en la academia, así como en el litigio administrativo.
