Education Skills for 21st Century Teachers

Voices From a Global Online Educators’ Forum

By: Ian G. Kennedy,Gloria Latham,Hélia Jacinto

This monograph presents the current views, challenges and future needs of educators from a global online exchange where educators and researchers discuss the 21st century skills needed by students and teachers. The three editors, who participated in the global online research discussion group, also assumed the role of authors to summarise, analyse and celebrate the myriad of ideas generated in a topic thread that had well over a thousand responses from 26 countries. Through Comparative Analysis they then compared the posters’ ideas to some current big thinkers in education. This text promotes teachers’ voices from diverse disciplines and sectors who are united in their desire for purposeful and radical change in how teaching is carried out and what is taught. The text advocates shifting power away from government control and standardisation towards empowering teachers to guide and further develop the unique talents of diverse individuals.

Generative Conversations for Creative Learning

Reimagining Literacy Education and Understanding

By: Gloria Latham,Robyn Ewing

This book builds on conversations between the author educators and other experts in the field, including authors, illustrators and teachers, to explore the benefits of discussions around quality literature within a classroom context that exercises the imagination and generates new ideas and discoveries. The book focuses on a range of strategies that can be utilised to reimagine literacy learning in a 21st century context including parent and teacher talk; active listening; fostering student driven questions; building vocabulary and imagery; and metacognitive talk. These are argued to have a hugely beneficial impact on how children learn to solve problems, engage in complex thought processes, negotiate meaning, as well as learning how to wonder, explore, create and defend ideas. The book also defends the importance of parents, teachers and academics as ‘storytellers’, using their bodies and voices as instruments of engagement and power. It will make compelling reading for students, teachers and researchers working in the fields of education and sociology, particularly those with an interest in creative methods for improving literacy.

Igbo Women and Economic Transformation in Southeastern Nigeria, 1900-1960

By: Gloria Chuku

Extrait de amazon.com : "Among Africanists and feminists, the Igbo-speaking women of southeastern Nigeria are well known for their history of anti-colonial activism which was most demonstrated in the 1929 War against British Colonialism. Perplexed by the magnitude of the Women's War, the colonial government commissioned anthropologists/ethnographers to study the Igbo political system and the place of women in Igbo society. The primary motive was to have a better understanding of the Igbo in order to avoid a repeat of the Women's War. This study will analyze the complexity and flexibility of gender relations in Igbo society with emphasis on such major cultural zones as the Anioma, the Ngwa, the Onitsha, the Nsukka, and the Aro.

Distracted

By: Gloria E. Bell

I was going through a box one day which contained all the journals I've kept over the past 20 years or so. I decided to read through them. What was going on in my life back when? As I read through the pages, the memories began to flow, and I found myself reliving those experiences. I thought, if I had the chance to change anything during the course of those years, would I be here in this place? Then I decided to combine all the journals into one, and have it published as a book. While I've been somewhat reluctant about exposing my life to the world, I thought perhaps there's someone out there who's having, or have had some of the same experiences, and can identify with them. Perhaps the journey I take you on in this book may touch you in some way. If so, I can rest in knowing I've had something to leave behind, and my living has not been in vain.

Ascaris: The Neglected Parasite

Chapter 7. Ascaris lumbricoides: New Epidemiological Insights and Mathematical Approaches

By: Martin Walker,Andrew Hall,María-Gloria Basáñez

In the context of the current unprecedented momentum and commitment to control neglected tropical diseases, and the increased advocacy of anthelmintic mass drug administration (MDA), there are renewed calls for research and development into the epidemiology and population biology of helmintic parasites to be embedded at the core of intervention strategies. This review of the epidemiology of Ascaris lumbricoides – one of the three neglected soil-transmitted helminth infections of greatest public health importance – includes discussion on diagnostic methods and their limitations; patterns of transmission within communities, including heterogeneities in infection and reinfection following curative treatment; the geographical distribution of infection, and the role of environmental, climatic and socio-economic co-variables. Special emphasis is placed on the mathematical approaches that underpin contemporary parasite epidemiology. In particular, statistical models – for analyzing highly variable, overdispersed, zero-inflated and hierarchically or spatially structured data – and dynamic models of infection and transmission. Deterministic, stochastic and hybrid dynamic models are discussed in the context of their application in elucidating the interplay between the parasite frequency distribution and density-dependent population processes; the dynamics of reinfection following curative treatment; the sustainability of parasite populations at low densities; theoretical threshold densities (transmission breakpoints) for elimination; and the potential spread of anthelmintic resistance. The review highlights the public health relevance of mathematical models and analytical methods, and concludes by focusing on recent insights into the epidemiology of A. lumbricoides which are particularly germane to the effective implementation of MDA-based control.

I CRY IN THE SHOWER

Loving Silas Living With Cancer

By: GLORIA MARTIN

“I’m just a bobber on the water; I go with the flow.” These words are etched on the stone that marks the grave of Silas Martin, a boy who died too young at age sixteen. They aren’t only words that describe Silas’ life, but they are words he spoke. Often. Silas had ample reason to complain, but he never did. At first glance, you would never know he was plagued by brain tumors, visual impairment, seizure disorders, and other disabilities from the time he was six months old. Despite everything, Silas chose to live with courage. He loved life. He lived with hope, even though doctors didn’t give him much of it. Silas’ primary caregiver was his mother, Gloria Martin. From the depths of her soul, I Cry in the Shower tells the story of Silas’ short life, and the irreplaceable bond they shared as mother and son. A professed born-again Christian, Gloria Martin recounts the struggles of being human in this world, struggles of caring for a terminally ill child, all while dealing with recovery from other hurts, habits, and hang-ups every person faces in their lifetime. Gloria shares her story of Silas’ life exactly as she shared Silas, with open arms, with eternal gratitude for every second she was allowed to care for him on this earth. I Cry in the Shower is full of raw journal entries from Gloria, written as she experienced the tremendous journey of hope and loss through the end of Silas’ life. Now, she hopes she can be an inspiration and help to others who may be caregivers to those with a devastating illness.
