Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Here is an antidote to the talk about failing schools, education reform, test scores, teacher-value, curricular controversies, school choice. It is about what counts-a young person's self-formation and a teacher's work to support it. It's a quiet book, an illustration of what happens as thoughtful students interact with sensitive adults. Its title, Letters of Recommendation, hints at the angst felt about getting accepted by college, employer, and the world at large. But that angst hides the real challenge-forming an aware, purposeful sense of self. Letters of Recommendation shows this pedagogical problem when all the externals are right. Emilia, a girl who seemingly has it all, asks an admired teacher, Doc, for a letter of recommendation supporting early admission to a top college. Emilia withdraws the request, beginning to doubt what she's doing, and why, and what she really wants in life. Doc senses her unease. Letters result, back and forth through the school year, with subtle attention to the girl's emerging sense of self and the teacher's presence, both humane and professional. The year ends, the exchange stops; life's externals appear settled for now, with the larger questions deepened, but still open, as they always are. Letters offers no easy steps, no how-to's, no magic methods. Instead, it heightens awareness of what goes on as good education takes place. It affirms a student's self-reliance in the face of felt uncertainties and a teacher's trust that her presence as a full, human person has value and meaning in the work of education. The letters themselves do not exemplify an instructional method, but serve to direct attention to the inner lives of a student and her teacher. The letters create a thought-provoking book, a pedagogical dialogue. And the dialogue's privileged setting does not celebrate the rich and famous. It is a way to set aside the material complications, which intrude in our lives and make it difficult to concentrate on what is essential, not only for the few, but for each and all.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In ENOUGH: A PEDAGOGIC SPECULATION, Robbie McClintock criticizes education and culture and searches out, not the predictable, but the possible. To open the sense of possibility, McClintock postulates a distant future in which people have a collective trust in personal autonomyl. They prize, not change, but stability, not the market, but the commons, and not more, but enough -- neither too little nor too much. From this future vantage, McClintock looks back on a basic question: Why have people confused education with the practice of schooling This question leads to a full analysis of modernity, for the global practice of compulsory schooling uses the same principles as other ubiquitous parts of modern life -- industrial corporations, sovereign nation-states, global commerce, and the bureaucratization of medicine, the military, and social life. What principles are essential to contemporary life In response, McClintock addresses important topics -- how we think about experience; how we understand the acting self; how we represent life in time and space; how we judge value in material, political, and cultural life; what we choose as our controlling purposes; and how we shape and situate our educational effort. With lucid examples from everyday experience, McClintock clearly contrasts the principles of life in the modern era with ones that may characterize a postmodern time. ENOUGH offers neither policies nor predictions. It asks all, as persons reflecting on how they want to conduct their lives, to consider possibilities. It encourages aspiration based, not on probability, but on hope -- on desire for what a person judges to have significant human worth. The autonomous pursuit of possibility enables each person to add, in a vital, historical sense, to the drama of human achievement, to the self-creation of life itself. Each person, each seeking unique possibilities, interacts to conduct a personal life, lived through a vastly complicated network of reciprocal interactions, stretching from the intimate to the all-inclusive. Education -- each of us self-organizing our emergent capacities for conducting life in all its complexity -- unfolds as each of us works to control what takes place in life, as best each can.…
