Ms. Prime Minister

Gender, Media, and Leadership

By: Linda Trimble

Ms. Prime Minister offers both solace and words of caution for women politicians. After closely analyzing the media coverage of former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell; two former Prime Ministers of New Zealand, Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark; and Australia’s 27th Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, Linda Trimble concludes that reporting both reinforces and contests unfair gender norms. News about female leaders gives undue attention to their gender identities, bodies and family lives. Yet equivalent men are also treated to evaluations of their gendered personas. And, as Trimble finds, some media accounts expose sexism and authenticate women's performances of leadership. Ms. Prime Minister provides important insight into the news frameworks that work to deny or confer political legitimacy. It concludes with advice designed to inform the gender strategies of women who aspire to political leadership roles and the reporting techniques of the journalists who cover them.

Trokosi

By: Linda M. Gillard

True stories of God's love and faithfulness for the broken and abused. A couple of years ago I was shocked to find out that little virgin girls, under the age of nine, are given to fetish priests to serve horrific lives as slaves, to atone for the crimes or sins of another family member. They are beaten, raped, starved and overworked. No affection or kindness is allowed and they live with no hope of ever being freed, as they are isolated from anyone who offers help. Ruled by forces that control them, they live in fear. The stories in this book are told by trokosis who have been liberated through the help of International Needs, and liberated from their fear and suffering by their new found love and faith in Jesus. Linda M. Gillard is the author of Trokosi-Slave of the gods. The author recently traveled to West Africa to gather information on the ancient practice of trokosi, and to interview liberated slaves who now live as free women. It was an unforgettable experience for the author and needed to be told. The culture of enslaving little girls is shrouded in secrecy and is still carried on today. It is estimated that over 30,000 women and children are still enslaved in West Africa.

How High-Performing Systems Shape Teaching Quality Around the World

By: Linda Darling-Hammond,Dion Burns,Carol Campbell,A. Lin Goodwin,Karen Hammerness,Ee-Ling Low,Ann McIntyre,Mistilina Sato,Ken Zeichner

Discover how high-performing systems shape teaching quality around the world Producing highly skilled and committed teachers is not the work of a single innovative school or the aggregation of heroic individuals who succeed against the odds. In high-performing countries, the opportunities for teachers to learn sophisticated practices and continue to improve are embedded systemically in education policies and practices. Empowered Educators describes how this seemingly magical work is done—how a number of forward-thinking educational systems create a coherent set of policies designed to ensure quality teaching in all communities. . . and how the results are manifested in practice. Spanning three continents and five countries, Empowered Educators examines seven jurisdictions that have worked to develop comprehensive teaching policy systems: Singapore and Finland, the states of New South Wales and Victoria in Australia, the provinces of Alberta and Ontario in Canada, and the province of Shanghai in China. Renowned education expert Linda Darling-Hammond and a team of esteemed scholars offer lessons learned in a number of areas that shape the teaching force and the work of teachers, shedding unprecedented light on areas such as teacher recruitment, preparation, induction and mentoring, professional learning, career and leadership development, and more. Find out how quality teaching is developed and conducted across the globe Discover a common set of strategies for developing, supporting, and sustaining the ongoing learning and development of teachers and school leaders See how high-performing countries successfully recruit and train educators Understand why the sharing of expertise among teachers and administrators within and across schools is beneficial A fascinating read for researchers, policymakers, administrators, teacher educators, pre-service teachers and leaders, and anyone with an interest in education, this book offers a rare glimpse into the systems that are shaping quality teaching around the world.

Quarterly Essay 52 Found in Translation

In Praise of a Plural World

By: Linda Jaivin

Whether we’re aware of it or not, we spend much of our time in this globalised world in the act of translation. Language is a big part of it, of course, as anyone who has fumbled with a phrasebook in a foreign country will know, but behind language is something far more challenging to translate: culture. As a traveller, a mistranslation might land you a bowl of who-knows-what when you think you asked for noodles, and mistranslations in international politics can be a few steps from serious trouble. But translation is also a way of entering new and exciting worlds, and forging links that never before existed. Linda Jaivin has been translating from Chinese for more than thirty years. While her specialty is subtitles, she has also translated song lyrics, poetry and fiction, and interpreted for ABC film crews, Chinese artists and even the English singer Billy Bragg as he gave his take on socialism to some Beijing rockers. In Found in Translation she reveals the work of the translator and considers whether different worldviews can be bridged. She pays special attention to China and the English-speaking West, Australia in particular, but also discusses French, Japanese and even the odd phrase of Maori. This is a free-ranging essay, personal and informed, about translation in its narrowest and broadest senses, and the prism – occasionally prison – of culture. “About six years ago, President George W. Bush was delivering a speech at a G8 summit, when, made impatient by the process of translation, he interrupted his German interpreter: ‘Everybody speaks English, right?’ ...” —Linda Jaivin, Found in Translation

Principal Leadership for Parent Engagement in Disadvantaged Schools

What Qualities and Strategies Distinguish Effective Principals?

By: Linda-Dianne Willis,Jenny Povey,Julie Hodges,Annemaree Carroll

This book presents and theorises research findings into why and how school principals play a critical role in engaging parents and their school communities to enhance student learning and wellbeing. It highlights the imperative of parent engagement as evidenced by clear, consistent findings from research over the last fifty years and government reforms, policies and frameworks internationally and nationally in Australia which have been driven by the weight of this evidence. It focuses on a research project conducted from 2016 to 2017, titled 'Principal leadership for parent-school-community engagement in disadvantaged schools'. This project investigated four principals identified as successful in parent engagement based on findings of state-wide survey research of principals and presidents of parents and citizens’ associations in 2014 in Queensland, Australia. This book offers theoretical and empirical evidence based on literature for the qualities successful principals in parent engagement exhibit, and the strategies they take to achieve parent and community engagement. It shows how the concept of agency as achievement can be used by educators and public policy makers to enable school leaders and teachers to adopt qualities and strategies that will engage parents in their child’s learning and wellbeing, so that improved outcomes for their child and schools can result.

Star Gazing

An epic, uplifting love story unlike any you've read before

By: Linda Gillard

Fans of Jojo Moyes, Kathryn Hughes and Kelly Rimmer will fall in love with Star Gazing - a beautifully poignant tale of love, loss, courage and hope. Love isn't something that you find. It's something that finds you. Blind since birth, widowed in her twenties, now lonely in her forties, Marianne Fraser has accepted that she will spend the rest of her life living in frustrated anonymity with her sister, Louisa. But when Keir Harvey comes to her aide one winter's night, she cannot help but dream of a different life. Keir is unlike anyone she's ever met - he's abrupt, wonderfully unapologetic and impossibly kind. But it's not long before the similarities between Keir and Marianne's former husband become too obvious to ignore. Is history repeating itself? Can Marianne overcome her fears, let down her guard and open her heart to this mysterious stranger who wants nothing more than to 'show' a blind woman the stars? Read what everyone is saying about Star Gazing 'This was a joy to read from the first page to the last... Romantic and quirky and beautifully written' - LoveReading.co.uk 'I could not put it down. It was absolutely enthralling. You will not forget this story!' - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars 'I simply couldn't put it down...This story has more twists than a corkscrew.' - TheBookBag blog 'The best book I have read this year... a beautiful not-to-be-missed love story!' - Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars '5/5 does not do this book justice! It deserves far more!' - Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

The Broken Boy

The Broken Boy

By: Linda Gillard

A true story of God's love and faithfulness for the broken and abused. For years I wanted to write the story of the abuse that my father suffered at the hands of his father, but he was always a little concerned that he may offend some family members with the truth of his terrible story. Finally, at the age of 86 and with the encouragement of his living siblings, he told the whole story of how as a child, he had been broken physically, emotionally and mentally and how that abuse led him into a life of crime. He told of the miraculous way that he found Christ and how he had to serve prison time when he paid restitution. This story is truly amazing. God in his loving kindness can fix and restore, even a broken boy.
