Free Download Isaura Pulido, Angelica Rivera, Ann M. Aviles, "Latina/o/x Education in Chicago: Roots, Resistance, and Transformation"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0252044509, 0252086570 | EPUB | pages: 254 | 1.6 mb
In this collection, local experts use personal narratives and empirical data to explore the history of Mexican American and Puerto Rican education in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system. The essays focus on three themes: the historical context of segregated and inferior schooling for Latina/o/x students; the changing purposes and meanings of education for Latina/o/x students from the 1950s through today; and Latina/o/x resistance to educational reforms grounded in neoliberalism. Contributors look at stories of student strength and resistance, the oppressive systems forced on Mexican American women, the criminalization of Puerto Ricans fighting for liberatory education, and other topics of educational significance. As they show, many harmful past practices remain the norm-or have become worse. Yet Latina/o/x communities and students persistently engage in transformative practices shaping new approaches to education that promise to reverberate not only in the city but nationwide.

Dirt is a story about the places where we start. From a single-wide trailer in the mountains of rural West Virginia to the halls of Yale Law School, Mary Marantz’s story is one of remembering our roots while turning our faces to the sky. From growing up in that trailer, where it rained just as hard inside as out and the smell of mildew hung thick in the air, Mary has known what it is to feel broken and disqualified because of the muddy scars leaving smudged fingerprints across our lives. Generations of her family lived and logged in those hauntingly treacherous woods, risking life and limb just to barely scrape by. And yet that very struggle became the redemption song God used to write a life she never dreamed of.

Free Download Ann Lieberman, "The Roots of Educational Change: International Handbook of Educational Change"
English | 2005 | pages: 285 | ISBN: 1402032897 | PDF | 6,2 mb
The purpose of this first volume of the International Handbook of Educational Change is to delineate the roots of a movement toward educational change that grew up in – and grew out of – the turbulent political, social, economic and cultural life of the post-World War II years. Its authors, who helped to create and shape the field, examine their work from current perspectives, raising issues that illustrate the connections between the recent history of education in general, and the field of educational change in particular. The book deals with a range of issues, from the effects of the GI Bill to the effects of school environment on student learning, from the political realities of educational policy to social realities of teachers. Like subsequent volumes, this book brings together evidence and insights on educational change issues from leading writers and researchers in the field from across the world.
