Intercultural Education in Chile
This book examines the status of intercultural education in Chile. It does this through three axes: the first is multidisciplinary, including historical, anthropological, sociological, and pedagogical, to account for varied aspects of the Chilean intercultural education. The second is the consideration of multiple indigenous peoples, analyzing students’ groups or indigenous peoples, such as the Rapa Nui, Aymara, or Mapuche. Finally, the book has a multilevel perspective that recognizes that educational policy involves different actors, from the central government to local communities. The book incorporates study material enriched with the experience and analysis of different perspectives and methodologies of its authors, being useful for understanding intercultural education in the country. It is a versatile resource for understanding this topic, as well as a support for the development of programs and policies.

Teaching and Learning for the Twenty-First Century
This book describes how different nations have defined the core competencies and skills that young people will need in order to thrive in the twenty-first-century, and how those nations have fashioned educational policies and curricula meant to promote those skills. The book examines six countries—Chile, China, India, Mexico, Singapore, and the United States—exploring how each one defines, supports, and cultivates those competencies that students will need in order to succeed in the current century. Teaching and Learning for the Twenty-First Century appears at a time of heightened attention to comparative studies of national education systems, and to international student assessments suc...
Educación Intercultural en Chile
¿Es la condición étnica un factor relevante en la configuración de la inequidad y desigualdad en el sistema escolar chileno? ¿Cómo dicho sistema se está transformando para reconocer, incluir y valorar las diferencias culturales? ¿Qué relación están estableciendo las poblaciones indígenas con las políticas y programas educativos? ¿Cómo están evolucionando los procesos de enseñanza en estos espacios interculturales? Hoy somos testigos de vertiginosos cambios culturales y sociales en la sociedad chilena, los que, sin lugar a dudas, han promovido importantes reformas a la educación y los sistemas educativos. Es en ese escenario, donde las preguntas planteadas adquieren una rele...
Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students
Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students offers a wide-ranging comparative account of how innovative professional development programs in a number of countries guide and support teachers in their efforts to promote cognitive and socio-emotional growth in their students. The book focuses on holistic educational outcomes in an effort to better serve students in the twenty-first century and examines seven programs in all—in Chile, China, Colombia, India, Mexico, the United States, and Singapore. Fernando M. Reimers, Connie K. Chung, and their contributors focus on a pair of issues of great significance to educators throughout the world: the need to identify and promote a full range of competencies in students as they prepare for work and life in the twenty-first century, and the need to create and enhance professional development programs for teachers that will help them cultivate these competencies in their students. Preparing Teachers to Educate Whole Students offers a unique and helpful contribution to our understanding of fundamental educational goals and the professional development programs for teachers that aim to further those goals.
The SAGE Handbook of School Organization
The SAGE Handbook of School Organization provides a substantial review of the history, current status and future prospects of the field of school organization. Bringing together chapters exploring key issues, important debates and points of tension, the Handbook highlights school and system organisational structure, processes and dynamics coupled with insights into important theoretical foundations from diverse perspectives. This volume is designed to provide a much-needed, critically informed and coherent account of the field, against a backdrop of increasing complexity in which schooling as an institution and schools as organisations operate.
Claves para la educación del futuro
El tema central de este libro es la calidad de la educación escolar. Se habla mucho de calidad, pero hay poca explicación sobre “qué hacer” al respecto. Simultáneamente, la educación enfrenta un siglo XXI complejo, muy cambiante y de alta incertidumbre. En cambio, la educación del siglo XX se desenvolvía en un entorno bastante estable: proporcionaba conocimiento y competencias que servían para los empleos existentes; la metodología de enseñanza consistía en repetición, memoria y resolución de problemas conocidos. La educación escolar del siglo XXI tiene que estar orientada a la resolución de problemas desconocidos, pues este es el entorno que van a encontrar los egresados....
