No More Culturally Irrelevant Teaching
Author: Mariana Souto-Manning
Publisher: Heinemann Educational Books
ISBN: 9780325089799
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Every child is a cultural being with a unique history and rich cultural practices; a member of communities in and outside of school. Yet too many children spend their days inside classrooms where they rarely find their voices, values, and cultural practices reflected in curriculum materials, much less embraced and celebrated through instructional practices. Culturally relevant teaching is essential, now more than ever. If we want children to develop as successful learners, we must communicate that they belong in our classrooms. They need to see themselves, their cultures, their families, and their communities reflected in the materials and resources they find there. Culturally relevant teachers honor students' identities by positioning them at the center of teaching and learning. Each and every day, they make sure children and their families feel that they belong in school. They include multiple perspectives and points of view in the curriculum. In this book, four teachers who teach in richly diverse classrooms and have studied culturally relevant pedagogy for years with researcher Mariana Souto-Manning, share specific practices, strategies, and tools that make their teaching culturally relevant. Join the authors of No More Culturally Irrelevant Teaching and show your students that their lives do matter...in teaching, in learning, and in society.

No More Free Lunch
Author: Claes Brundenius
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319009184
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
In September 2010, the Cuban government decided to embark on an economic reform program, unprecedented after the Revolution in 1959. This opened up opportunities for Cuban economists and scholars to participate in the development of the reform program. Thanks to grants from SSRC (Social Sciences Research Council, New York) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several researchers from the Cuban think tank CEEC (Center for Studies of the Cuban Economy, Havana) got an opportunity to visit countries that could be of interest for the reform process, notably Vietnam, but also Brazil, South Africa and Norway. The result of these field visits and a subsequent workshop involving contributions from Cuban as well as non-Cuban scholars, this volume showcases unprecedented new insights into the process and prospects for reform along many dimensions, including foreign direct investment, import substitution, entrepreneurship and business creation, science and technology development, and fiscal policies. The resulting analysis, in a comparative perspective, provides a framework for future research as well as for business practice and policymaking.

Quality in Design and Execution of Engineering Practice
Author: Lex A. Gunsteren
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1614992525
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The quality your customers really need inevitably differs from the quality as prescribed in specifications, rules and regulations. The author's message is, in short, to be aware of this fact in all quality related issues. Quality as required by fitness for purpose can be in conflict with quality according to prevailing specifications, rules and regulations. It is then in the interest of the buyer to agree with the supplier on desirable exemptions. But often we can see that the supplier chooses the easy way out of just complying with the contract specifications without caring too much about the particular interests of the customer. In the Damen Shipyards Group, we try to induce a corporate culture of always paying attention to the interests of our customers and making serious efforts to serve those interests, also when there is no contractual obligation to do so. This book constitutes a welcome means to spread this word throughout the entire organisation. I wholeheartedly recommend it to whoever wishes to be a genuine quality supplier -- From publisher's provided.

80 Old Testament Characters of World History: Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence
Author: Gerard Gertoux
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329932811
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Despite the fact that the name of many characters mentioned in the Old Testament, like David, King of Israel, have been recently confirmed by archaeology as well as their epoch and the events in which they were involved, most archaeologists continue to deny the historicity of the Bible they view as pious fiction or a mythical account. They argue that the major events in the Bible such as the victory of Abraham against Chedorlaomer, an unknown king of Elam around 2000 BCE, the victory of Moses against an unknown Pharaoh around 1500 BCE or the victory of Esther, an unknown Persian Queen, against an unknown vizier of Xerxes, never existed because they left absolutely no evidence. They also explain that according to what we know today, these events could not have occurred. These logical arguments are impressive but a precise chronological analysis based on absolute dates, coupled with a rigorous historical investigation, shows that all those major events really took place at the dates and places indicated.
