Inclusive Educational Practice in Europe
Psychological perspectives
Psychologists have long been researching effective practice with children who don’t adjust readily to school systems that now aspire to include everyone. This book collates the findings of psychologists working in educational settings in 13 European states and will be essential reading for school psychologists, teachers and school leaders.
Children’s Literature about Refugees
A catalyst in the classroom
Julia Hope describes her study on how primary school teachers use certain picturebooks and storybooks that relate refugee children’s experiences, so that young refugees feel validated and their classmates can understand something of what they’ve been through. It gives teachers both pedagogical support and the resources to tackle this urgent topic.
Civil Society Organizations in Turbulent Times
A gilded web?
Why have civil society organizations become trapped in a gilded web of privatized, neo-liberal arrangements, reinforcing the systems they were established to reform? Drawing on research from diverse fields, this book aims to reawaken the critical voices that could challenge the growing inequalities and failures of current social systems.
Preventing Dropout
Lessons from Europe
Across Europe, the number of young people dropping out of education, training or employment is cause for concern. Case studies from five countries - the UK, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Ireland - reveal the significant benefits from early identification of, and proactive intervention with, the groups most vulnerable to dropout.
Juggling Higher Education Study and Family Life
Women with families face particular challenges when they undertake Higher Education, such as coping with the demands of study, new family routines, and the changed identity when mother becomes student. This book is a valuable guide for women in similar situations, and will enhance the understanding of tutors, lecturers and policymakers.
Family Jigsaws
Grandmothers as the missing piece shaping bilingual children’s learner identities
The book is the first to reveal the ability of young bilinguals to become flexible learners, and the first to show how it is their interactions with their grandmothers - who often speak no English - that most enhance and extend their educational and cultural experiences. The implications for policy, practice and pedagogy are profound.
Invisibly Blighted
The digital erosion of childhood
This book is a manifesto for a different digital future for children, in which their rights are respected and their identities are free. Aimed at anyone who has sensed the cultural shift in childhood currently taking place, this book helps readers think more deeply about what it means to be a child in the digital world today.
Harold Rosen
