Loris Malaguzzi and the Schools of Reggio Emilia: A selection of his writings and speeches, 1945-1993 (Contesting Early Childhood)
by Peter Moss Paola Cagliari Marina Castagnetti Claudia Giudici Carlina Rinaldi Vea VecchiLoris Malaguzzi was one of the most important figures in 20th century early childhood education, achieving world-wide recognition for his educational ideas and his role in the creation of municipal schools for young children in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia, the most successful example ever of progressive, democratic and public education. Despite Malaguzzi’s reputation, very little of what he wrote or said about early childhood education has been available in English. This book helps fill the gap, presenting for the first time in English, writings and speeches spanning 1945 to 1993, selected by a group of his colleagues from an archive established in Reggio Emilia. They range from short poems, letters and newspaper articles to extended pieces about Malaguzzi’s early life, the origins of the municipal schools and his ideas about children, pedagogy and schools. This material is organised into five chronological chapters, starting at the end of World War Two and ending just before his death, with introductions to each chapter providing background, including the historical context, the main events in Malaguzzi’s life and the rationale for the selection of documents. The book provides a unique insight into the background, thinking and work of Malaguzzi, revealing, in his own words, how his thinking developed, how he moved between theory and practice, how he border-crossed many disciplines and subjects, and how he combined many roles ranging from administrator and campaigner to researcher and pedagogue. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find this landmark publication provides rich insights into his life and work.
Lost and Found: Helping Behaviorally Challenging Students (and, While You're At It, All the Others)
by Ross W. GreeneImplement a more constructive approach to difficult students Lost and Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicit guidance on implementing his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Problem Solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's positive, constructive approach and described implementation on a macro level, this useful guide provides the details of hands-on CPS implementation by those who interact with these children every day. Readers will learn how to incorporate students' input in understanding the factors making it difficult for them to meet expectations and in generating mutually satisfactory solutions. Specific strategies, sample dialogues, and time-tested advice help educators implement these techniques immediately. The groundbreaking CPS approach has been a revelation for parents and educators of behaviorally-challenging children. This book gives educators the concrete guidance they need to immediately begin working more effectively with these students. Implement CPS one-on-one or with an entire class Work collaboratively with students to solve problems Study sample dialogues of CPS in action Change the way difficult students are treated The discipline systems used in K-12 schools are obsolete, and aren't working for the kids to whom they're most often applied - those with behavioral challenges. Lost and Found provides a roadmap to a different paradigm, helping educators radically transform the way they go about helping their most challenging students.

Loyal Dissent: Brief Lives of Westminster School
by Patrick Derham Ian Donaldson A. C. Grayling James Campbell Peter Cox Nick CleggWith origins as far back as the 14th Century, Westminster School is one of the oldest in the country with a long tradition of scholarship - and outstanding results, both in academic and public life.Over the centuries, Westminster has stood apart from other prominent schools. Firmly grounded between Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, it has remained curiously unswayed by the influence and ethos of figures such as Thomas Arnold and the Victorian public school tradition, combining a distinctive evolution with the retention of much of its unique character.A great many of the school's former pupils are famous names. At one time, some of those pupils were uncontrolled outside school hours and notoriously unruly about town, but always encouraged to question, challenge and debate - and above all to respect genuine scholarship. They rank among this country's most distinguished thinkers, writers, theologians, scientists, politicians, artists and musicians.Ben Jonson, George Herbert, Richard Busby, John Locke, Christopher Wren, Robert Hooke, Lord Mansfield, Charles Wesley, Warren Hastings, Jeremy Bentham, Henry Mayhew, A. A. Milne, John Spedan Lewis, Richard Doll and Tony Benn are the individuals the authors recognise as 'loyal dissenters', at once respectful of peers, staff and principles, yet unafraid to forge their own direction.

Lryak Kyuk Bgya Tseng Jok’o Di / Ri Hiamnda
by Daniel McdikkohHiamnda, the language of the Jaba people located in the central part of the Middle Belt area of Nigeria. It is spoken by a myriad of Jaba people groups who, by and large, may speak the main hiam Ham language, but may have vernacular variations of the language. Less than a decade ago, Hiamnda was on the verge of total obliteration, even though there are approximately a million of Hamnda in existence; this downturn of lingual fortunes for this language is not too far removed from the social, but vicious malady that has afflicted most, if not all, languages in the technological age, namely cultural warfare. This cultural warfare continues to leave in its wake "corpses" of dead languages; one that cease to exist either to none use or that they have been so adulterated to the point that such languages or that they have such adulteration that of necessity leads to total absorption into some of their surrounding major language or its demise. Lryak Kyuk Bgya Tseng Jok'o Di Hiamnda is a third edition of word lists that have been published in Hiamnda by me. Through the grace of God, Almighty these efforts have been paid off and been able to wrest the falling fortune of our language and to put back it back on the track of living human languages currently extant.
