The book proposes a school where the students and their development is the priority. The teachers’ main task is to assist students in a personalised manner and to help them in their process of growth and development. The entire school should be guidance oriented. It should provide an environment where relationships among all staff members take place, from the security guard to the principal. In this environment, students will find the help and resources needed by them to develop their autonomy and build their future. The book suggests a credible program that can be recreated in other educational centres and demonstrates how guidance could be the soul of the school.
A principis del segle XXI s'imposa repensar l'educació en un sentit ampli. Els reptes que planteja un món global a països com Catalunya són diversos i de gran complexitat. Aquesta obra, fruit d'un treball de reflexió i participació de prop d'un parell d'anys, a partir de les accions endegades dins el Projecte Edu21, vol contribuir al diàleg educatiu dins una societat que la voldríem coresponsable del projec-te de formació de tots els seus ciutadans. Les xarxes de coresponsabilitats socioeducatives; les relacions entre els termes d'inclusió, excel·lència, identitat i diversitat; les noves formes d'ensenyar en una escola digital, la importància de l'aprenentatge de l'anglès; l'escola com una organització que aprèn i que gestiona eficaçment els seus recursos humans, són els temes tractats pels diferents autors d'aquesta obra. El Projecte Edu21 (www.edu21.cat) és una iniciativa del Centre d'Estudis Jordi Pujol i té com a principal objectiu esperonar la reflexió profunda i el debat serè sobre els temes educatius a Catalunya i al món, en una època de canvis i transformacions i, alhora, de grans reptes i oportunitats.
Madrid's histroy from Prehistory to the present day
Why can we never seem to keep on top of our workload, social diary or chores? Why does poverty persist around the world? Why do successful people do things at the last minute in a sudden rush of energy? Here, economist Sendhil Mullainathan and psychologist Eldar Shafir reveal that the hidden side behind all these problems is that they're all about scarcity.
The purpose of this text is to elicit discussion, reflection, and action specific to pedagogy within education, especially higher education, and circles of experiential learning, community organizing, conflict resolution and youth empowerment work. Vulnerability itself is not a new term within education; however the pedagogical imperatives of vulnerability are both undertheorized in educational discourse and underexplored in practice. This work builds on that of Edward Brantmeier in Re-Envisioning Higher Education: Embodied Pathways to Wisdom and Transformation (Lin, Oxford, & Brantmeier, 2013). In his chapter, “Pedagogy of vulnerability: Definitions, assumptions, and application,” he ou...
This book, about a newly emerging area of research in instructional technology, has as its title the acronym "CSCL." Initially, CSCL was chosen as an acronym for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. However, some would argue that "collaborative" is often not a descriptive term for what learners do in instructional settings; further, as the field develops, the technology used to support collaboration may not always involve computers, at least not in the direct ways they have been used to support instruction in the past. To avoid getting bogged down in this terminological debate, this book uses CSCL as a designation in its own right, leaving open to interpretation precisely what words it...
Laura Catena and the oenologist Alejandro Vigil, two leading figures in the world of wine, present Malbec Mon Amour. This book, which combines detailed expert information with beautiful drawings and images and fun anecdotes and facts, takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the history and development of Malbec as well as the different terroirs of Mendoza where the grape has thrived so well.

Learn all you need to know about Malbec, from its development since Roman times, and its spread from the reign of Eleanor of Aquitaine right up to the phylloxera plague. See how the wine grape changed with Nicola Catena's arrival in South America and the diligent work of the first immigrants establishing vines in the country. Take a road trip with Laura and Alejandro through the famous Uco Valley, featuring the history of high-altitude Malbec, its geology, and the scientific research of the Catena Institute.

What is socially engaged art history? Art history is typically understood as a discipline in which academics produce scholarship for consumption by other academics. Today however, an increasing number of art historians are seeking to broaden their understanding of art historical praxis and look beyond the academy and towards socially engaged art history. This is the first book-length study to focus on these growing and significant trends. It presents various arguments for the social, pedagogical, and scholarly benefits of alternative, community-engaged, public-facing, applied, and socially engaged art history. The international line up of contributors includes academics, museum and gallery c...
