Surrendering to Christ (Experiencing Christ Together)
by Karen Lee-Thorp Todd Wendorff Brett Eastman Dee Eastman Denise Wendorff"Trust can be a tough issue for kids. Chances are, your students want to rely on God for everything, but are still holding on to the ideal of self-sufficiency. Surrendering to Christ Together looks at the life of Jesus and shows students how giving in to God can be the best decision they will ever make. Six sessions will let students explore the heart issues of surrender that lead to deeper worship: · Afloat in a Storm: How do I trust God when everything seems to be falling apart? · The Key to Significance: How do I let go of my goals and discover what God wants me to do? · True Greatness: How do I become great in God’s eyes? · Wild Gratitude: How do I respond to Christ for everything he’s done for me? · Ultimate Trust: How do I know it's God’s will if it’s the thing that makes the least sense? · Victory Over Death: What does it mean to me that Jesus conquered death? Students who develop a lifelong faith yield to Jesus at every turn. Surrendering to Christ Together is the best way to help your kids learn that submission to God truly is the best way to live."

Surveillance Education: Navigating the Conspicuous Absence of Privacy in Schools (Critical Interventions)
by Nolan Higdon Allison ButlerSurveillance Education explores the pervasive use of digital surveillance technologies in schools and assesses its pernicious effects on students. Recognizing that the use of digital technologies will persist, the authors instead offer practical ways to ameliorate their impact.In our era of surveillance capitalism, digital media technologies are ever more intertwined into the educational process. Schools are presented with digital technologies as tools of convenience for gathering and grading student work, as tools of support to foster a more equitable learning environment, and as tools of safety for predicting or preventing violence or monitoring mental, emotional, and physical health. Despite a dearth of evidence to confirm their effectiveness, digital data collection and tracking is often presented as a way to improve educational outcomes and safety. This book challenges these fallacious assumptions and argues that the use of digital media technologies has caused great harm to students by subjecting them to oppressive levels of surveillance, impinging upon their right to privacy, and harvesting their personal data on behalf of Big-Tech. In doing so, the authors draw upon interviews from K–12 and higher education students, teachers, and staff, civil rights and technology lawyers, and educational technological programmers. The authors also provide practical guidance for teachers, administrators, students, and their families seeking to identify and combat surveillance in education.This urgent, eye-opening book will be of interest to students and educators with interests in critical media literacy and pedagogy and the sociology of technology and education.

Survival Schools: The American Indian Movement and Community Education in the Twin Cities
by Julie L. DavisIn the late 1960s, Indian families in Minneapolis and St. Paul were under siege. Clyde Bellecourt remembers, &“We were losing our children during this time; juvenile courts were sweeping our children up, and they were fostering them out, and sometimes whole families were being broken up.&” In 1972, motivated by prejudice in the child welfare system and hostility in the public schools, American Indian Movement (AIM) organizers and local Native parents came together to start their own community school. For Pat Bellanger, it was about cultural survival. Though established in a moment of crisis, the school fulfilled a goal that she had worked toward for years: to create an educational system that would enable Native children &“never to forget who they were.&”While AIM is best known for its national protests and political demands, the survival schools foreground the movement&’s local and regional engagement with issues of language, culture, spirituality, and identity. In telling of the evolution and impact of the Heart of the Earth school in Minneapolis and the Red School House in St. Paul, Julie L. Davis explains how the survival schools emerged out of AIM&’s local activism in education, child welfare, and juvenile justice and its efforts to achieve self-determination over urban Indian institutions. The schools provided informal, supportive, culturally relevant learning environments for students who had struggled in the public schools. Survival school classes, for example, were often conducted with students and instructors seated together in a circle, which signified the concept of mutual human respect. Davis reveals how the survival schools contributed to the global movement for Indigenous decolonization as they helped Indian youth and their families to reclaim their cultural identities and build a distinctive Native community.The story of these schools, unfolding here through the voices of activists, teachers, parents, and students, is also an in-depth history of AIM&’s founding and early community organizing in the Twin Cities—and evidence of its long-term effect on Indian people&’s lives.

Survival and Loss: Native American Boarding Schools
by Developmental Studies Center StaffThe displacement of Native American tribes from their land and the destruction of Native American culture began the moment the first Europeans set foot in North America. As European settlers pushed westward, claiming more and more territory, Native Americans were pushed onto tiny pieces of land called reservations. <p><p>When it became clear that the reservations could not support the Native American tribes or their way of life, the U.S. government was faced with the problem of what place Native Americans had in this new country. Its solution was to forcibly educate thousands of Native American children at off-reservation boarding schools in the hope that they, and eventually all Native Americans, would learn to live like European American citizens. <p><p>These children were taken away from their families and the lives they knew and set to boarding schools where they were forbidden to speak their own languages or practice their traditions. The children often faced terrible living conditions and cruel treatment as they struggled to keep their culture alive. This is their story. --Back cover

Surviving Emotional Work for Teachers: Improving Wellbeing and Professional Learning Through Reflexive Practice
by Jean HopmanSurviving Emotional Work for Teachers is a guide to improving teachers’ wellbeing and practice through support of their emotional workload. The book argues that teachers should be given a formal opportunity to debrief on challenging events, allowing them to reflect on and reframe these experiences in a way that informs future practice to prevent the emotional fatigue that can lead teachers to leave the field altogether. Each chapter opens with a teacher’s story, acknowledging the emotional layers present in the scenario and what learnings can be drawn from it. Each of these stories features tension between what is expected of teachers, and how they are limited to act, which is further fuelled by underlying assumptions. This is valuable reading for teachers at all stages of their career, whether preparing for the complex work ahead or making sense of past and current experiences. This book offers a reflexive process that teachers and schools can implement to facilitate the useful exploration of their emotion. Such a process is vital for the overall wellbeing of any school.
