Visionary Women

Author: Phyllis Mack
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520915589
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 496

Book Description
This study of radical prophecy in 17th-century England explores the significance of gender for religious visionaries between 1650 and 1700. Phyllis Mack focuses on the Society of Friends, or Quakers, the largest radical sectarian group active during the English Civil War and Interregnum. The meeting records, correspondence, almanacs, autobiographical and religious writings left by the early Quakers enable Mack to present a textured portrait of their evolving spirituality. Parallel sources on men and women provide a unique opportunity to pose theoretical questions about the meaning of gender, such as whether a "women's spirituality" can be identified, or whether religious women are more or less emotional than men.

Culturally Sustaining Language and Literacy Practices for Pre-K–3 Classrooms

Author: Kindel Turner Nash
Publisher: Teachers College Press
ISBN: 0807781282
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 177

Book Description
Literacy educators are often unequipped to help young children contend with the world we inhabit, where linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism are not always valued or sustained. In fact, educators are routinely bombarded by programs that position literacy as a simple, one-size-fits-all practice. This resource will help pre-K–3 teachers create and interpret literacy teaching processes, practices, and spaces that honor and extend children’s fullness. It is coauthored by three New York City teachers from ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse schools who share vivid examples and everyday stories from their own classrooms. Grounded in an accessible discussion of the value of culturally sustaining pedagogy and its potential to promote equity in elementary teaching, this book can be used as a practical introduction to CSP practices for early childhood teachers and teacher candidates. Book Features: Focuses on the capabilities of young children and their families, rather than perceived deficits.

Book Description
Teachers and counselors are failing to give students the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. This book represents a fresh perspective on why this is, and presents real solutions that work. Washington would have us believe that this gap can be closed if only we can become better at packaging and presenting information. Of course, that was the focus of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and the results haven't been encouraging. Other sectors tell us that technology will win the day and engage the minds of young learners. Still others argue for longer school days or more teacher accountability. Sarah Brown-Wessling, the 2010 Teacher of the Year, said it best: "I think we often operate in the classrooms as if our agendas take precedence over our students' lives and the developmental reality of their situation." This book will help you bring the focus more clearly onto the relationship aspect of learning and give you real tools that will make it easier for you to bring your passion for teaching to those who need it most.
