Описание:
In 2003, Wendy Luttrell posed an important question: what might result if we were able to turn questions of judgement about pregnant and parenting teenagers into questions of interest about their sense of self and identity-making? This book takes up the challenge, offering a re/assemblage of what is, can be and perhaps should be known about teenage pregnancy and parenting in the context of the twenty-first century. The collection presents original contributions from leading commentators in four key contexts: the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Aotearoa New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland, all sites of elevated incidence of and/or concern around what is commonly articulated as the problem of teenage pregnancy and parenting. In offering a multi-disciplinary reading of the narratives of young men and women, this volume engages with the ambiguity shared by all of us in confronting the life transition that is pregnancy and parenting.

Willpower, Self-control, and Self-discipline are the virtue of being able to control emotions, behavior, and gratification with the use of motivation. As simple as it may sound, willpower and self-control have an incredible impact in a person's life. It affects all aspects in a person such as discipline, responsibility, productivity, morality, and basically everything else. Willpower is the key factor that determines the quality and length of a person's life.
Perhaps the clearest demonstration of a person's willpower is his decisions. A person's decisions are influenced by two things; rational thoughts, and primitive thoughts. The rational thoughts are processed in the pre-frontal cortex, while primitive thoughts or reactions are processed in the ventral striatum. This means that the ability to think logically and analyze situations more intelligently is the effects of rational thinking, while impulsive reactions based on instincts and desires are the effects of primitive thinking.
Willpower is also called to resolve, determination, self-control, self-discipline, and drive. However, many psychologists characterize the term "willpower" or self-control in very distinct ways. According to them, willpower is defined as your ability to resist short-term temptations in order to achieve long-term goals; your capacity to delay gratification; your ability to override any unwanted thought; and your ability to have a "cool" or "calm" cognitive system of behavior rather than having an emotionally "hot" system.
Willpower is your ability to hold back any desire or impulsive actions that will have effects on you in the future. If you want to eat a bar of chocolate; insert another dollar in the slot machine; tell a person he or she offended you or have another glass of wine; you know that in doing any of these will not be the best decision because it has consequences in the long run.
This book covers the following topics:
- What willpower is and why is it matters?
- The science of self-discipline and self-control
- Build routines and habits for ultimate self-discipline
- Characteristic of mental toughness
- Developing mental toughness
- Common willpower obstacles and how to overcome them
- Further tips on how to strengthen your willpower
- Doing the right thing - tools of willpower
- Willpower strengthening
- Using your willpower
- Preserve your existing willpower through these small changes
- How to improve your willpower
...And much more
Willpower is finite and limited. It is a depletable resource that gets used up in action. Remember, when we defined that willpower is the fuel of self-control? Willpower is the fuel that gets "burned" when self-control is in action. Every act of self-control uses up some of your willpower reserves.

Описание: The "ideal" 21st century teacher in public schools has a keen understanding of the racialized history of education and has already taken a critical stance regarding that history. This teacher is a changemaker and able to create classroom conditions that enable children and youth to be changemakers as well. In order to convert teachers into this ideal educator, alternative professional development must be undertaken that has as its goal the transformation of teachers and teachings for the eventual transformation of classroom environments and educational experiences, particularly for students of color. Unfortunately, such transformative teacher professional development has been in short supply in the age of high-stakes standardized testing and the deprofessionalization of the teaching profession.
Anti-Racist Professional Development for In-Service Teachers: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a crucial reference book that addresses the historical, sociological, and pedagogical background concerning racial issues in education and proposes an alternative model for professional development as a tool for transforming schools and teachers to be critically sensitive and become changemakers. The book includes data from the author's national survey of teacher professional development, examples of assignments, teacher work products, and the author's self-critique/reflections, which draw upon 20 years of working to transform teachers and teaching on how to improve outcomes. The book also presents composite profiles of P-12 teachers such as the transformations of teachers who already "knew it all," the new teacher at a punitive public charter school with high turnover, teachers who take leadership within the school and in the larger community, and teachers who significantly changed their practice for the long-term. Moreover, the authors offer policy recommendations for funding and designing teacher professional development experiences that meet the needs of professional teachers who intend to stay in the field of education, provide immediate impact on students, and that engage all students to become critical changemakers. As such, this book is ideal for teachers, educational leaders, administrators, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.

Описание:
Leading Learning and Teaching in Higher Education brings together contemporary ideas on leadership, engagement and student learning into a practical solutions-based resource designed for those undertaking the challenge of leading a university-level teaching module, programme or suite of programmes, particularly through periods of transformation or change. It encourages both first time academic leaders and those who have held teaching leadership roles for some time to review and formalise their development in a systematic, simple way and acts as a framework for navigating the opportunities and challenges involved in inspiring shared purpose, strong commitment and innovation in higher education teaching.
With a clear focus on the energy of leadership rather than the practice of management, and with a strong emphasis on collaborative engagement running throughout, this books offers:
Insightful guidance which is not bound to subject-specific requirements, making it relevant across the spectrum of course offerings at any one institution.
An enabling, people-focussed foundation for leadership.
Tools and frameworks which can be readily applied or adapted for the reader.
A focus on core elements of teaching leadership, such as design, delivery, assessment and building a programme team.
A flexible and pragmatic approach to leadership which avoids a definitive approach, instead encouraging a dynamic method of engaging leadership.
Values that assert that leadership and learning go hand-in-hand..
A wide-ranging discussion of leadership theories, ideas and values related to the university context.
This book puts forward a multifaceted model of programme leadership and links this to a scaffolding of key attributes, skills and qualities that fit the environment of leading learning and teaching in the university. Particularly interested readers will be those beginning to lead teaching in a university setting as well as those who have been leading programme teams and the wider provision of teaching for some time wanting to enhance their skills and perspective.
Описание: Writing comprises a significant proportion of academic staff members’ roles. While academics have been acculturated to the notion of ‘publish or perish,’ they often struggle to find the time to accomplish writing papers and tend to work alone. The result can be a sense of significant stress and isolation around the writing process. Writing partnerships, groups, and retreats help mitigate these challenges and provide significant positive writing experiences for their members. Critical Collaborative Communities describes diverse examples of partnerships from writing regularly with one or two colleagues to larger groups that meet for a single day, regular writing meetings, or a retreat over several days. While these approaches bring mutual support for members, each is not without its respective challenges. Each chapter outlines an approach to writing partnerships and interrogates its strengths and limitations as well as proposes recommendations for others hoping to implement the practice. Authors in this volume describe how they have built significant trusting relationships that have helped avoid isolation and have led to their self-authorship as academic writers.
