Understanding Deaf Culture
Author: Paddy Ladd
Publisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 1847696899
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
This book presents a ‘Traveller’s Guide’ to Deaf Culture, starting from the premise that Deaf cultures have an important contribution to make to other academic disciplines, and human lives in general. Within and outside Deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of Deaf culture, which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses. The book aims to assess the concepts of culture, on their own terms and in their many guises and to apply these to Deaf communities. The author illustrates the pitfalls which have been created for those communities by the medical concept of ‘deafness’ and contrasts this with his new concept of “Deafhood”, a process by which every Deaf child, family and adult implicitly explains their existence in the world to themselves and each other.

Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
With my stars to guide me, with the fear of God inside me, I took off for the uncharted wilds of the wild country called the Bronx, inhabited by the underprivileged, unwelcomed, and uncivilized (at least that is what I thought) with fine knowledge that I, as a new teacher, would triumph. Many in the past had failed. But I would not fail. No. Larry Rothstein didn't want to be a teacher, but when it became a valid way to escape the draft, he made it his mission to be enrolled. Unwilling to join the army because of the Vietnam War, he learned that teachers were able to get a deferment, and he was excited to start on his new quest. Once Larry was hired, he realized that becoming a teacher was what he was meant to be. Larry dedicated his life to making a difference in the life of his students. Field trips, drama groups, and making learning fun were the focus of his life for over thirty years. But despite his dedication, the school administration tried to bring him down one notch at a time. Student deaths, students skipping classes, and the callous attitudes of some of the administrators who could not see his vision became everyday battles, but Larry was determined to conquer his windmills. Finally, an illness brought on by the school's new construction threatened to knock Larry off his Dulcinea for good. Following the life of one man through the '70s, '80s, and '90s,The Quixotic Teacheris a quest for an exemplary teacher in the public school system.

Education In Drama
Author: David Hornbrook
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136615253
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Hornbrook, referring to current legislation, argues the case for an organized curricular framework for drama in the 1990s which develops in children the activities of designing, directing, acting, writing and evaluating - all within the range of the historic context of dramatic work. He asserts that recent drama teaching in Britain has been child-centred and psychological, and viewed as a learning medium rather than as an aesthetic study in itself. This, he believes, has had the effect of cutting children off from the variegated world of the theatre and, in the broader sense, from any collective aesthetic or historical dimension. This book is intended mainly for the use of primary and secondary school teachers.
