Summus Mathematicus et Omnis Humanitatis Pater
by Anja-Silvia GoeingThis book revises the picture of the teacher and educator of princes, Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre (c. 1378, Feltre -- 1446, Mantua), taking a completely new approach to show his work and life from the individual perspectives created by his students and contemporaries. From 1423 to 1446, Vittorino da Feltre was in charge of a school in Mantua, where his students included not only the offspring of Italy's princes, but also the first generation of authors dealing with books in print. Among his students were historians like Bartolomeo Sacchi (named Platina), who wrote an extensive history of the popes, and mathematicians like Jacopo Cassiano (Cremonensis), who translated the work of Archimedes from Greek into Latin. Vittorino is still regarded as the educationalist of Italian Renaissance humanism per sé. This work not only contributes to the study of the history of Italian humanist institutions, it also uses available sources to demonstrate the development of a new attitude to education in Italy.

Sunk Cost: Who’s to Blame for the Nation’s Broken Student Loan System and How to Fix It
by Jillian BermanExposes the forgotten origins of the student loan system, how politicians have attempted to fix it, and the life-altering damage borrowers face. Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation’s student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans’ college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today. She shares real-life stories of college graduates who are being crushed under some of the harshest consequences of the student loan system. These borrowers pursued higher education in hopes of a better life and yet some have been trapped in debt for decades, making it difficult to put food on the table, much less imagine a life beyond debt. By connecting personal accounts to the policy history of student loans, Berman makes clear that if American society continues to push students toward higher education, but fails to truly subsidize it, the financial strain will become unbearable for all but the most privileged. The current system is broken, but Berman proposes that significant changes are possible, and will require political will from state lawmakers and Congress, along with a philosophical shift, to tackle one of the largest consumer finance challenges of our time.

Super Courses: The Future of Teaching and Learning (Skills for Scholars)
by Ken BainFrom the bestselling author of What the Best College Teachers Do, the story of a new breed of amazingly innovative courses that inspire students and improve learningDecades of research have produced profound insights into how student learning and motivation can be unleashed—and it’s not through technology or even the best of lectures. In Super Courses, education expert and bestselling author Ken Bain tells the fascinating story of enterprising college, graduate school, and high school teachers who are using evidence-based approaches to spark deeper levels of learning, critical thinking, and creativity—whether teaching online, in class, or in the field.Visiting schools across the United States as well as in China and Singapore, Bain, working with his longtime collaborator, Marsha Marshall Bain, uncovers super courses throughout the humanities and sciences. At the University of Virginia, undergrads contemplate the big questions that drove Tolstoy—by working with juveniles at a maximum-security correctional facility. Harvard physics students learn about the universe not through lectures but from their peers in a class where even reading is a social event. And students at a Dallas high school use dance to develop growth mindsets—and many of them go on to top colleges, including Juilliard. Bain defines these as super courses because they all use powerful researched-based elements to build a “natural critical learning environment” that fosters intrinsic motivation, self-directed learning, and self-reflective reasoning. Complete with sample syllabi, the book shows teachers how they can build their own super courses.The story of a hugely important breakthrough in education, Super Courses reveals how these classes can help students reach their full potential, equip them to lead happy and productive lives, and meet the world’s complex challenges.
Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education
by David R. Cole Christine WoodrowThis volume is the first major production of the globalisation research strand of the Centre for Educational Research at Western Sydney University. This book makes a significant contribution to the theory of and research in globalisation and education, and tackles the topics of superdiversity and supercomplexity. The book's thesis is that the effects of globalisation on education can only be understood if the specific yet complex conditions of globalisation in education are investigated. The book takes an international approach to understanding globalisation and does not restrict itself to just one methodological or theoretical plane of investigation. Education is one ofthese frontline domains in which the effects of superdiversity cannot bedismissed, minimized or denied. The continuously increasing complexity oflearning environments is raising critical issues at every level, fromdescription over analysis to theoretical generalization, and this book is afirst and fruitful attempt at charting these waters. This pioneering book will remaina key text for many years to come. Jan Bloomaert Professor of Language,Culture and Globalization and Director of the Babylon Center Tilburg University,the Netherlands. This provocativecollection works from two premises: thattoday there is superdiversity in our globalised world and related is asupercomplexity of theoretical and methodological approaches. The collection proffers multifariouschallenges for educational theory, research and practice in working with,through and across these two premises. As such, SuperDimensions in Globalisation and Education is essential reading for all educational researchers, whatever theirinterests or location. Professor Bob Lingard The University ofQueensland, Australia. This is a highlyimaginative book that stops 'flat earth' and convergence arguments dead intheir tracks. Its genius is to bringsuper-complexity and super-diversity into a conversation with each other andwith education, and in doing so shed light on the numerous and unexpectedways in which global processes are shaping education in revealing andcompelling ways. Any scholar concerned with globalisation andeducation will find Super Dimensions in Globalisation and Education a' musthave' on their reading list. Professor Susan Robertson Director of the Centrefor Globalisation, Education and Social Futures University of Bristol,UK. This is an absorbingand compelling collection. It takes readers on a kaleidoscopic journey throughvarious intricate expressions of the nexus between globalisation andeducation. And it offers multiple waysthat such expressions can be thought and rethought. In transcending conventional categorisations it invites educators to doso too. Professor Jane Kenway, AustralianProfessorial Fellow - Australian Research Council, Education Faculty,Monash University, Australia.
