This book provides a narrative account of the experiences of twenty former scholarship students from historically disadvantaged communities who attended elite public and private secondary schools. It draws on in-depth, one-on-one semi-structured interviews conducted with former scholarship recipients who were between the ages of 19 and 24 years at the time of the interviews. Various themes are explored, specifically focusing on elite schooling in relation to the experiences and navigational practices of the scholarship recipients and the adjustments that they felt they needed to make in order to fit into the elite school space.The book analyses and discusses the reflective experiences of students who were awarded a scholarship to attend an elite secondary school. It reveals that accepting the gift of a scholarship is far more complex, multi-layered, and at times harsh and even painful for the individual recipients than is possibly realized by those involved in this practice. This book contributes to academic educational debates within the sociology of education, elite schools and schooling in the post-apartheid South African context.

The global COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed education as we know it. Globally, billions of learners at all levels were affected by months of rolling school closures and other severe pandemic restrictions to daily life.

Uniquely, the volume brings together Education Deans and scholars from Universitas 21 institutions. Drawing on case studies and narrative reflections, the contributors offer crucial insights that can guide higher education and schools of education on structural and conceptual shifts in approaches to leadership, research, teaching, learning, and student and staff well-being.The COVID-19 pandemic is a generation-defining event that will echo in the actions of teachers and researchers for years, allowing us to redefine the landscape of education for a better normal.

This book presents and discusses the results of the ¿Plans to Pedagogy¿ (P2P) project that was implemented across 13 diverse Australian and New Zealand schools, each with a unique school context and specific learning environment issue. The project employed a participatory approach, where academic researchers partnered with school leaders and staff in each school to co-design, implement, and evaluate research targeting the school¿s chosen issue. It explores and analyses the case studies from the project and discusses a range of topics, including how space can be used as a pedagogic tool, determining the affordances of learning environments to engage students, how teacher collaboration can be enhanced in flexible spaces, and how furniture influences student engagement and teacher pedagogies. It also provides school leaders with authentic examples of how research can be utilised to drive evidence-based discussions about teacher practices and student learning. Finally, it also illustrates how teachers can design and implement powerful studies that underpin better pedagogies in their schools.

Home to the location where George Washington took command of the troops and to America's oldest Ivy League university, Cambridge is a city that feels like a town. Hasty Pudding meetings were enlivened with mock trials spoofing happenings in Cambridge and among the faculty; by 1860 the trials had evolved into shows. In a corner of the Cambridge Common, across from Harvard Yard, a Gilded Age statue of a Puritan has been toppled several times. Letters home from Robert Kennedy were found stashed on a high shelf in a college room he occupied, over 30 years after he graduated. From protests to the "Beer Garden Summit", author Jane Merrill shares the stories behind notable landmarks and some significant but little-known facts in and around town.

Der er generel enighed om, at det er afgørende med pædagogisk kvalitet i dagtilbuddene for at sikre gode vilkår for børnene. Her spiller de fagprofessionelle en nøglerolle.Med anerkendelse af de præmisser og rammer, som gælder for dagtilbuddene, så giver denne mini-bog nogle forslag til, hvordan styring og ledelse kan medvirke til at styrke vores børns oplevelse og udvikling i disse afgørende tidlige år. Samtidig peges på behovet for at tilpasse de kommunale fagforvaltninger og stabsfunktioner for at understøtte det lokale lederskab og hjælpe de fagprofessionelle med at realisere de faglige og pædagogiske prioriteringer.De største udgifter på velfærdsområderne er løn. Derfor er det relevant med professionel ledelses- og styringsmæssig tilrettelæggelse af de fagprofessionelles kompetencer og kapacitet. Det handler blandt andet om gennemsigtighed af arbejdets tilrettelæggelse med struktur og digitalisering.Bogen introducerer også begrebet "efterspørgselsorienteret" fagforvaltning og argumenterer for, at denne tilgang er nødvendig for at imødekomme et øget lokalt handlerum og forskellige lokale behov. Samtidigt understreges vigtigheden af kompetent ledelse på alle niveauer af den kommunale organisation, der arbejder sammen for at sikre bedst mulig ressourceanvendelse til gavn for børnene. ”DJØF for børn” udfordrer den måde vi typisk organiserer vores dagtilbud. Den præsenterer forslag til organisering og styring for at forbedre de pædagogiske rammer for vores børn, samtidig med anerkendelse af kompetent ledelse og de fagprofessionelles kompetencer. Denne bog er et must-read for alle, der er engageret i at skabe en bedre fremtid for vores børn.

THE gathering of information, to the inquisitive as well as to the indifferent mind, is the consequence of our Creator's magnificent design. "Knowledge," the collection of data-truthful or not-is enhanced simply by living. A writer's work is created using accumulated knowledge. Exhibition of the resultant accumulation is indicative of one's relationship with one's Creator-God.In 2005, a small collaborative project gave rise to the publication of three tracts on biblical principles relating to money. They were The Ministry of Tithing, The Ministry of Giving, and The Ministry of Lending. In 2016, an additional tract was written entitled The Ministry of Almsgiving.The Lord placed numerous roadblocks in the path of my resolute publication efforts. It was while in pursuit of the publication of the last tract and a reprint of the three originals, that there grew a consideration for a book-an extensive revision/expansion of the four tracts. It was during these researching efforts that I discovered the magnificent biblical precept of Grace Giving. While tithing is biblical, it is not Christian. This was strictly a practice, under Law, for the nation of Israel which has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ in the New Covenant of Grace. Furthermore, there is no instruction or example of a New Testament Christian tithing. Like temples, sacrifices, dietary laws, and priests, tithing has been nailed to the cross." More on this subject is to be found in the section entitled Grace Giving.
