Bildungsaufstiege an Waldorfschulen: Rekonstruktionen erfolgreicher Bildungsverläufe aus biographischer Perspektive (Schule und Gesellschaft #50)
by Christiane AdamWelche Erfahrungen machen Schüler*innen im Rahmen eines Bildungsaufstiegs an Waldorfschulen und welche Bedeutungen haben diese für ihre gesamte Biographie? Inwiefern kann die Waldorfschule als reformpädagogische Schule einen Raum für Bildungsaufstiege eröffnen? Diese beiden Fragen stehen im Zentrum dieser Studie zu intergenerationalen Bildungsaufstiegen an Waldorfschulen, die biographieanalytisch und sinnrekonstruktiv die Lebensverläufe von ehemaligen Waldorfschüler*innen untersucht. Die Autorin analysiert, wie die Waldorfschule als Sozialisations- und Bildungsraum von Kindern aus nicht-akademischen Elternhäusern erlebt wurde. Neben der Rekonstruktion von subjektiven Sinnsetzungen und damit verbundenen Identitätskonstruktionen werden schulische Möglichkeitsräume betrachtet. Damit wird nach den Chancen und Risiken der Waldorfschule für Bildungsverläufe von Kindern aus nicht-akademischen Elternhäusern gefragt und die schulischen Strukturbedingungen in den Blick genommen. Die Studie stellt einen Beitrag zur Forschung über Reform- und Alternativschulen dar, darüber hinaus ist sie im Feld der Schülerbiographieforschung und der qualitativen Forschung zur Bildungs- und sozialen Ungleichheit angesiedelt.
Beauty in the Age of Empire: Japan, Egypt, and the Global History of Aesthetic Education (Columbia Studies in International and Global History)
by Raja AdalWhen modern primary schools were first founded in Japan and Egypt in the 1870s, they did not teach art. Yet by the middle of the twentieth century, art education was a permanent part of Japanese and Egyptian primary schooling. Both countries taught music and drawing, and wartime Japan also taught calligraphy. Why did art education become a core feature of schooling in societies as distant as Japan and Egypt, and how is aesthetics entangled with nationalism, colonialism, and empire?Beauty in the Age of Empire is a global history of aesthetic education focused on how Western practices were adopted, transformed, and repurposed in Egypt and Japan. Raja Adal uncovers the emergence of aesthetic education in modern schools and its role in making a broad spectrum of ideologies from fascism to humanism attractive. With aesthetics, educators sought to enchant children with sounds and sights, using their ears and eyes to make ideologies into objects of desire. Spanning multiple languages and continents, and engaging with the histories of nationalism, art, education, and transnational exchanges, Beauty in the Age of Empire offers a strikingly original account of the rise of aesthetics in modern schools and the modern world. It shows that, while aesthetics is important to all societies, it was all the more important for those countries on the receiving end of Western expansion, which could not claim to be wealthier or more powerful than Western empires, only more beautiful.
Understanding a Child the Occupational Therapy Way: Recognizing and Communicating the Unique Potential of a Child
by Sabrina E. AdairThis book uses an occupational therapy way of thinking to guide the reader towards observing, understanding, and communicating the needs of children to foster a supportive environment. Presented in accessible, everyday language, this book takes a holistic approach of looking at a child from what makes them a unique person, what activities they are trying to accomplish, and what environment they are in. Each chapter helps readers identify, describe, and clearly articulate a different aspect of the child’s environment and how it may affect them, the way that they process different sensory inputs, what their behaviors may be telling us, and how they learn. By recognizing each child’s unique story and effectively communicating their story to others, the reader can identify the most effective ways to support a child to meet a child’s needs and set them up for success. Therapists, educators, parents, and childcare workers will all benefit from the simple strategies outlined in this book to enrich a child’s learning.

Segregation by Experience: Agency, Racism, and Learning in the Early Grades
by Jennifer Keys Adair Kiyomi Sánchez-Suzuki ColegroveEarly childhood can be a time of rich discovery, a period when educators have an opportunity to harness their students’ fascination to create unique learning opportunities. Some teachers engage with their students’ ideas in ways that make learning collaborative--but not all students have access to these kinds of learning environments. In Segregation by Experience, the authors filmed and studied a a first-grade classroom led by a Black immigrant teacher who encouraged her diverse group of students to exercise their agency. When the researchers showed the film to other schools, everyone struggled. Educators admired the teacher but didn’t think her practices would work with their own Black and brown students. Parents of color—many of them immigrants—liked many of the practices, but worried that they would compromise their children. And the young children who viewed the film thought that the kids in the film were terrible, loud, and badly behaved; they told the authors that learning was supposed to be quiet, still, and obedient. In Segregation by Experience Jennifer Keys Adair and Kiyomi Sánchez-Suzuki Colegrove show us just how much our expectations of children of color affect what and how they learn at school, and they ask us to consider which children get to have sophisticated, dynamic learning experiences at school and which children are denied such experiences because of our continued racist assumptions about them.
Curriculum by Design: Innovation and the Liberal Arts Core
by Allison Adair Lynne Anderson Robert Bartlett William Bole Toby Bottorf Andy Boynton John Butler Daniel Callahan Mary Thomas Crane Hanne Eisenfeld Thomas Epstein Brian Gareau Tara Gareau Elizabeth Graver Stacy Grooters Régine Michelle Jean-Charles Gregory Kalscheur Elizabeth Kowaleski-Wallace Prasannan Parthasarathi David Quigley Brian Robinette Juliet Schor Sylvia Sellers-García Elizabeth H. Shlala Min Hyoung Song Jenna Tonn Holly VandeWall Dunwei WangThis book tells the story of how a team of colleagues at Boston College took an unusual approach (working with a design consultancy) to renewing their core and in the process energized administrators, faculty, and students to view liberal arts education as an ongoing process of innovation. It aims to provide insight into what they did and why they did it and to provide a candid account of what has worked and what has not worked. Although all institutions are different, they believe their experiences can provide guidance to others who want to change their general education curriculum or who are being asked to teach core or general education courses in new ways.The book also includes short essays by a number of faculty colleagues who have been teaching in BC’s new innovative core courses, providing practical advice about the challenges of trying interdisciplinary teaching, team teaching, project-or problem-based learning, intentional reflection, and other new structures and pedagogies for the first time. It will also address some of the nuts and bolts issues they have encountered when trying to create structures to make curriculum change sustainable over time and to foster ongoing innovation.

Real Computing Made Real: Preventing Errors in Scientific and Engineering Calculations
by Forman S. ActonEngineers and scientists who want to avoid insidious errors in their computer-assisted calculations will welcome this concise guide to trouble-shooting. Real Computing Made Real offers practical advice on detecting and removing bugs. It also outlines techniques for preserving significant figures, avoiding extraneous solutions, and finding efficient iterative processes for solving nonlinear equations.Those who compute with real numbers (for example, floating-point numbers stored with limited precision) tend to develop techniques that increase the frequency of useful answers. But although there might be ample guidance for those addressing linear problems, little help awaits those negotiating the nonlinear world. This book, geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, helps rectify that imbalance. Its examples and exercises (with answers) help readers develop problem-formulating skills and assist them in avoiding the common pitfalls that software packages seldom detect. Some experience with standard numerical methods is assumed, but beginners will find this volume a highly practical introduction, particularly in its treatment of often-overlooked topics.
