Book Description

In this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review

Book Description

He also addresses the phenomenon of art critiques as a microcosm for teaching art as a whole and dissects real-life critiques, highlighting presuppositions and dynamics that make them confusing and suggesting ways to make them more helpful. Elkins's no-nonsense approach clears away the assumptions about art instruction that are not borne out by classroom practice. For example, he notes that despite much talk about instilling visual acuity and teaching technique, in practice neither teachers nor students behave as if those were their principal goals. He addresses the absurdity of pretending that sexual issues are absent from life-drawing classes and questions the practice of holding up great masters and masterpieces as models for students capable of producing only mediocre art. He also discusses types of art--including art that takes time to complete and art that isn't serious--that cannot be learned in studio art classes.

Book Description

In this previously untold story of African American self-education, Heather Andrea Williams moves across time to examine African Americans' relationship to literacy during slavery, during the Civil War, and in the first decades of freedom. Self-Taught traces the historical antecedents to freedpeople's intense desire to become literate and demonstrates how the visions of enslaved African Americans emerged into plans and action once slavery ended. Enslaved people, Williams contends, placed great value in the practical power of literacy, whether it was to enable them to read the Bible for themselves or to keep informed of the abolition movement and later the progress of the Civil War. Some slaves devised creative and subversive means to acquire literacy, and when slavery ended, they became the first teachers of other freedpeople. Soon overwhelmed by the demands for education, they called on northern missionaries to come to their aid. Williams argues that by teaching, building schools, supporting teachers, resisting violence, and claiming education as a civil right, African Americans transformed the face of education in the South to the great benefit of both black and white southerners.

Book Description

As Education Secretary from 2014-16, Nicky Morgan had a job she describes as "one of the best in the UK Cabinet". In her time in office, she announced a GBP3.5m programme to be spent promoting classes and extra-curricular activities that build "grit" and "resilience" in a generation of schoolchildren. Here, she reveals why she believes that building characterful children has a positive impact on academic attainment. In writing this book, she had the privilege of visiting some of the schools who won Department for Education character awards. Hearing their stories, looking at the work they've done to promote character education and identify the values they want to embed in their schools and seeing how positive they are about this area of their school life confirmed to her that focusing on character sits alongside gaining knowledge. In fact, the former helps the latter.The generosity of the schools enabled her to capture key examples and bring character education to life. Change in education doesn't happen by accident. It needs a deliberate push.Public awareness needs to be raised, government needs to make it clear to those in the education system that this is a priority and they will support it and, most importantly, the frontline namely schools, heads, teachers, governors and communities need to be enabled to create the conditions to allow systemic change to happen, to take hold and to grow. Education is the greatest investment we can make in the future of our country. And the greatest investment the education system can make in our pupils is to ensure they gain both knowledge and character.

Book Description

Are you a busy parent? Do you want to learn more about how to be intentional with your children, but just don't have hours upon hours to invest in reading a book? Then look no further! "Caught Not Taught" was written for you. Whether you are waiting in the carpool line, taking a bubble bath after a crazy day, or are curled up on the couch during a rain storm, "Caught Not Taught" is a book designed to be read in one 30 minute setting. This is for the busy parent who is looking for one key philosophy that they can implement in their parenting journey that truly can transform their relationship with their children. Parents today spend hours upon hours searching the internet for best practices and helpful tips to help them parent more effectively. Although I am a fan of helpful strategies, what if our most important lessons we will teach our children are not something we can learn from a blog or memorize at a seminar. What if the most important lessons our children will learn from us are not from listening to us, but from watching us? What if our life was an example of the type of person we want them to become? Hosting a parenting podcast (Parenting Tomorrow's Leaders) has put me in contact with parenting experts. Although I do not consider myself an expert parent, I began to see a pattern in all of my interviews that I could no longer ignore. This idea that parenting is caught more than taught. This book is my journey of learning this principle, the ways I observed this in practice with my own children, strategies that I implemented to be more intentional with the "Caught Not Taught" philosophy, and memories of how this idea was effective for my own parents throughout my childhood. "Caught Not Taught" is a powerful parenting philosophy that if utilized effectively has the power to transform your parenting journey. Will you be bold enough to not just read the words, but to truly take them to heart and allow this concept to transform your family? Let's change the world together, one child at a time!
