The teaching of history has long been the subject of partisan warfare. Religion often plays a prominent role in these debates, as secular progressives and conservative Christians disagree over which historical figures are worthy of study, how (or whether) certain events should be portrayed, and ultimately how tax dollars should be spent. But what about students who are educated outside the public schools, either in religious schools or at home? How are they learning history, and what effect does that have on our democracy?

As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience. Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place. In Learning to Improve, the authors argue for a new approach. Rather than "implementing fast and learning slow," they believe educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that allows the field to "learn fast to implement well.

The Catholic Church has a history that spans over 2,000 years, and it began with none other than Jesus Christ himself. At least, that is what modern popes believe. But at first, there was just one church, and there was no division between Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and other branches of Christianity. Christians all over the known world were united, and together, they made their spirituality bloom. Their religion took over the lives of villagers, nobles, kings, queens, and even newly arrived pagan armies that came to conquer Europe.

In Unwelcome Guests, Harold S. Wechsler and Steven J. Diner argue that discrimination in college admissions has a long and troubling history in the US. Institutions of higher learning have vigorously sought to shape their mission and the experiences of their undergraduate students by paying careful attention to race and religion in admissions decisions. Wechsler and Diner explore how American colleges and universities sought to restrict enrollment of students they considered undesirable.

Our nation’s moment of reckoning with the deficit view of multilingual learners has arrived. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed and exacerbated long-standing inequities that stand in the way of MLs’ access to effective instruction. Recent events have also caused us to reflect on our place as educators within the intersection of race and language.

The research is clear: Human beings are born to play. In Game On? Brain On!, Lindsay Portnoy unpacks the games and playful experiences that invite engagement and deep learning.

Culturally Responsive School Leadership focuses on how school leaders can effectively serve minoritized students - those who have been historically marginalized in school and society. The book demonstrates how leaders can engage students, parents, teachers, and communities in ways that positively impact learning by honoring indigenous heritages and local cultural practices.

Since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 Americans have viewed school integration as a central tenet of the Black civil rights movement. Yet, school integration was not the only - or even always the dominant - civil rights strategy. At times, African Americans also fought for separate, Black-controlled schools dedicated to racial uplift and community empowerment.

¿Si tuvieras la oportunidad de cambiar el futuro? ¿Que pensarías? ¿No es una locura? Pero mayor locura es el no trabajar en forjar un mejor presente para poder cambiar no sólo el futuro inmediato, si no las decisiones a tomar durante el día, la semana, el mes, mejor aún poder aterrizar todo aquello que la mente guarda pero que la “razón” no deja avanzar. Esta es una guía para mejorar mi entorno, empoderar mis talentos y encontrar soluciones propias utilizando las herramientas que tengo a mi alcance.

Hace algunos años después de buscar y buscar una solución a la situación personal que estaba viviendo en ese momento pude observar que las soluciones estaban integradas básicamente por ideas basadas en pensamientos originados por títulos académicos, experiencias, estudios, reconocimientos, pero sobre todo algo que envolvía al Hiram de esos días. La anterior situación me brindó la seguridad para enfrentar algo desconocido, no sabía que era pero se mantenía como una constante en mi vida.

Did you know that the Balkan Peninsula is often referred to as the “powder keg of Europe?” It was a term devised in the early 20th century to describe the unstable political situation in the region just before it exploded into a conflict known as the First World War. The Balkan Wars were a series of conflicts fought between the Balkan League (Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro) and its allies and the Ottoman Empire. But, these wars didn’t involve any of the great European powers such as Germany, France, or the United Kingdom.

Critical race theory has hijacked the US education system on every level. Parents, students, educators, and policymakers must know and support the truth about American history and reject this divisive and anti-American theory’s obsession with skin color and prejudice.

Eine der am wenigsten verstandenen Perioden der europäischen Geschichte ereignete sich zwischen dem 6. und dem 14. bzw. 15. Jahrhundert (je nachdem, welchen Historiker Sie fragen). Allgemein als Mittelalter bezeichnet, war dies eine Epoche extremer Veränderungen für Europa, beginnend mit dem Fall des Weströmischen Reiches. Für einen Kontinent, der eine drastische Umverteilung im Machtgefüge erlebt hatte, schien die Welt besonders hart zu sein. Rom hatte weit über ein Jahrtausend lang eine wichtige Rolle in Gesamteuropa gespielt. Dann verschwand es.

Selecting the right team member consists of two primary phases: choosing the right candidate, and taking the appropriate steps to ensure they are successful. In this guide, we will help you through both phases. We wrote this guide as we felt there was a need for a condensed to-the-point aid in selecting new team members. However, we also felt there was a need to ensure the team and their new member start their journey together on the right foot.

Say 'philosopher', and someone grand, old and bearded might come to mind. But, as philosophy professor Scott Hershovitz shows in this delightful debut, some of the best philosophers in the world are better described as nasty, brutish and short—that is to say, they're children. Children make wonderful philosophers because they constantly question things that grown-ups take for granted, test theories about the people around them and try to work out the way the world works.

For success in school and life, students need more than proficiency in academic subjects and good scores on tests; those goals should form the floor, not the ceiling, of their education. Students need to develop attributes that aren't typically measured on standardized tests. In this lively, engaging book, educators will learn how to foster the "Formative Five" skills that today's students need.

When Austrian President Franz Jonas visited the Vatican in 1971, Pope Paul VI named Austria “the Island of the Blessed”. He did so to emphasize Austria’s steep recovery. Only 25 years had passed since the end of the Second World War, and Austria was already one of the most prosperous European countries. One might argue that Austria was always a rich country, and during the times of its Habsburg rulers, it certainly was. But after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was lost between two worlds - its German heritage and its multiethnic nation.
