Let's find ways to teach emotionally challenging texts to adolescents. https://lnkd.in/eFZ_qDNq #Highschool, #principals, #highschoolteachers, #literacy #curriculum

A thought-provoking article about how middle class liberals frame children. Children are investments to be optimised on the one hand; on the other hand, they are obstacles to your own career. This is very much the economic or "neoliberal" philosophy. But what is missing is love, or the qualitative dimensions of child-rearing that can't be reduced to the logic of the market. In short, we need a new language for understanding child-rearing. #semiotics #children https://lnkd.in/eqbnEkXj

Been reading a lot about language and definitions for my PhD and whilst lots of things annoy me (what’s new ??), I’m finding it increasingly troubling that organisations that were founded as grassroots, feminist organisations, and who still describe themselves as grounded in feminist principles are using the language of other sectors. Domestic violence is now being called domestic abuse, sexual violence is now being called sexual harm, sexual abuse by minors is being called harmful sexual behaviour… If we sanitise our language and stop naming things accurately, we lose the activism, we lose the power, and we risk minimising experiences which is exactly what the patriarchy wants us to do. We called it violence for a reason, we called it abuse for a reason. It remind me of a quote I opened my MA dissertation with: “But sometimes what we want is one thing, what we get is another. Since movements, no matter how noble and highly motivated, do not continue of their momentum, we have a duty to assess, evaluate, analyze, take stock. We must try to measure the health of our movement and figure its chances for growth and, indded (sic), for survival. And if we see that our movement is in ill health, we must name what we see, and try to cure it. (Weisstein and Booth, 1978: 18)” So here’s a note to anyone working in a SV/DV org, think carefully about the language you use and spend more time analysing your decisions. They matter more than you think.

BOOK RELEASE | Co-edited by Professor Parlo Singh A/Professor Deborah Heck, Dr Stephen Heimans, and A/Professor Angelina Ambrosetti. This book explores social justice and inequity of knowledge production in the context of teacher education, presents case studies of teachers and teacher educators using alternative theories to address epistemic injustice in education and showcases examples of indigenizing and decolonising teacher education focusing on transforming institutional and professional practice.

??A little bit more about me, I have?authored?more than 200 bookticles and more than 1000 videos about our?edu-, socio-, cultural- and political hardships. Having dissected our education regimes as the principal causes beyond our problems and catastrophes, I have put forward and elaborated my strategic solutions,?chief among which is “my?liberating didactic approach”, in the said bookticles of mine. I formulated my SEMINAL revolutionary approach based on “my transformative edu-political theories”, after rebutting the present immaterial educational methods and approaches and their defected theoretical foundations, for the ultimate goal of transforming the current horrible conditions of humanity into a better. I utilize my?in actual fact transforming brain child to critically awaken, equip and empower?our today and tomorrow citizens and leaders with whatever they need for successful interactions and confrontation with the challenges of our current complicated world and a tougher world is yet to come. In case interested, search for my resume and particularly my recently published ARTicle “My Edu-political Theories and Liberating Approach to Teaching”, on the net to know more about my rebellious liberating child. Likewise, ensure to follow me on my Instagram account to realize how I play my role as an EMANCIPATOR as well. ??As an independent educationist, human rights activist and a?strong advocate of freedom, justice and equality for ALL,?I have talent, experience, passion and above all expertise and determination for resolving human race controversial issues and problems, through strategic diplomacy, for assisting them in reaching out their ultimate dream. Our utopia could be a united world with one nation, one constructive culture and one useful comprehensive language, under a talented leader who would be committed to adhering to our civilized humanitarian constitution; - A world where we all - as a family- could live and flourish in peace, prosperity and happiness.

This was a challenging article to write! I’m excited to share our new paper with Teresa Cremin on reading for pleasure (RfP), now published OA in Cambridge Journal of Education ?? We argue that our common humanity implies a right to equality, yet we live in a society marked by many forms of injustice. To influence systemic decisions with rigorous scientific #evidence, teachers and researchers need a shift in #dispositions. The potential for transformative change lies in individual dispositions, which can be profoundly humanizing if rooted in what we call "Funds of Courage" ?? Inspired by Frances Kissling's definition of the most noble kind of courage—"the #courage to be vulnerable in front of those we passionately disagree with"—we assert that combining *vulnerability* and *resilience* fosters a contextually nuanced discourse around courage and shifts in RfP. ?? Our focus is on social justice (rather than individual right for justice) and on literacies (contextually dependent reading and writing in both digital and analogue formats).? ?? We synthesize findings from RfP #research-#practice #partnerships, including volunteers building #digital #libraries for Ukrainian refugees, and over 100 UK teacher groups led by The Open University -trained volunteers supporting #reading enjoyment for both #teachers and #children https://lnkd.in/dum4kNx6

Best article i've published for The Radical Times Media & News Co-Op Inc!!! (so far) and more for an academia audience on philosophy in relation to politics and virtue. https://lnkd.in/eRUnuCy8

An important read. "Internationally, there is growing recognition of the significance and value of reading for pleasure, or choice-led recreational reading, for young children. Reading for Pleasure (RfP hereafter) is positively associated with cognitive development, specific learning outcomes such as vocabulary and mathematics (Sullivan & Brown, 2015), academic achievement more broadly (Smith et al., 2012) and psychological wellbeing (Sun et al., 2023).?

Hey Columbia University , quick question: How many Jewish babies need to be murdered before justifying their deaths disqualifies someone from teaching their history? Joseph Massad , your newest professor of Jewish Enlightenment thinks October 7th was just 'resistance.' Brilliant move. Nothing says 'academic excellence' like having Jewish liberation taught by someone who celebrates Jewish persecution. Your 'diversity of thought' is just antisemitism with a PhD. Wondering why Jewish students feel unsafe? Here's your Prof. Massad, reframing their family's murder as political discourse. This isn't education—it's erasure with extra credits. While lecturing about Jewish emancipation, Columbia chains Jewish narratives to their oppressors.

From the archives... I concur with the points provided in this article from John Stuart Mill, but as I approach these from a Christian worldview, I would summarize three of them as follows: 1) Parents have a God-given responsibility to educate their children, 2) Children should be taught with an eye towards Christian discipleship, and 4) Whomever God calls, He qualifies. I skipped #3 as I approach this from a conservative political viewpoint. 3) The free market tends to produce a higher quality output for a lower cost, while monopolies (especially government-controlled ones) tend to do the opposite. #HomeEducation #homeschool #homeschooling #education #GetOutNow #PublicSchoolExit #ChristianEducation #EdcuationIsDiscipleship #ChristianHomeschoolRevolution Annie Holmquist https://lnkd.in/g7Ef8if5
