After seven years of longing, Amara Tripathi finally reunites with the love of her life, Vivaan. For what seemed like an eternity, she held onto the hope of his return, steadfastly navigating the challenges of life in Madhupur and later in Delhi. However, amidst the towering buildings of the bustling city, she finds an unexpected source of comfort in Sarthak Saraf, whose unwavering support and infectious laughter breathe new life into her world. As time passes, the bond between Amara and Sarthak deepens, transcending mere friendship. Yet, just as she begins to find solace in his presence, the shadows of her past resurface, forcing her to confront a choice that could unravel the delicate harmony they've cultivated. Caught between the echoes of her history and the promises of the future, Amara stands at a crossroads, torn between the love she has yearned for and the companionship she has grown to cherish. In a poignant finale marked by sacrifice and redemption, she listens to the whispers of her heart. Who would she choose?
Bringing together an inspirational group of educators, this book provides key insights into what it means to implement social justice ideals with young children (pre-K–grade 2). Each chapter highlights a teacher’s experience with a specific aspect of social justice and ethnic studies, including related research, projects and lesson plans, and implications for teacher education. The text engages readers in critical dialogue, drawing from works within ethnic studies to think deeply about ideals such as humanization, representation, and transformation. Finding ways to integrate acceptance of difference and social justice content into the primary grades is a complex and challenging endeavor. These teacher stories are ones of courage and commitment, inspiring the possibility of radical change. ’ Book Features: Guidance for teachers who want to teach for social justice, including lesson plans and strategies. Examples of what ethnic studies looks like in early childhood classrooms. Dialogue questions to prompt critical thinking and professional conversation. Windows into classrooms that foster valuing of self and respect for diversity of color, ethnicity, and gender. Activities to tap into personal strengths and enrich teaching, including yoga and song. Connections to relevant research. “I salute Dr. Ruchi Rangnath for bringing together such a powerful set of teacher voices to produce a book that celebrates children and communities of Color.” —From the Foreword by Patrick Camangian, University of San Francisco “This is an essential text for anyone interested in the transformational possibilities of early childhood education.” —Rita Kohli, University of California
Operations research is the fast developing branch of science which deals with the most of the engineering activities. It consist of many models which are used to obtain the optimum solution for different activities. Operations research is a procedure which is executed iteratively for comparing various solutions till the optimum or satisfactory solution is obtained. An important aspect of the optimal design process is the formulation of the problem in a mathematical format which is acceptable to an algorithm and thus find out the optimal solution. These techniques are extensively used in those engineering design problem where the emphasis is on maximising or minimising a certain goal. This book is the introduction to the different techniques in operations research. The subject does not require a high level of mathematical knowledge. Each chapter of the book have examples from variety of fields. Our hope is that this book, through its careful explanations of concepts, practical examples and techniques bridges the gap between knowledge and proper application of that knowledge.
Elementary-aged children are often positioned as not developmentally ready to learn about race, racism, and injustice. Yet, the classroom materials used in most schools misrepresent history, withhold knowledge about racial injustice, or fail to uplift stories of resilience and resistance. For almost a decade, this groundbreaking resource has been one of the most highly used textbooks in justice-oriented social studies methods courses for grades 3-8. The author has thoroughly revised her bestseller to provide additional lessons that are more deeply situated within the current context of converging pandemics--COVID-19, racism, and impending environmental catastrophe. Grounded in the daily realities of public schools, Agarwal-Rangnath shows teachers how to use primary and other sources that will offer students new ways of thinking about history while meeting language arts standards for information text proficiency and critical thinking. Educators will also learn how to teach language arts and social studies as complementary subjects. New for the Second Edition: More concrete connections between theory and practice. Additional lesson examples that are centered in today's context of converging pandemics. Reflection questions that challenge readers to think about ways to navigate curricular constraints and standardization in the classroom.
This practical book shows how veteran, justice-oriented social studies teachers are responding to the Common Core State Standards, focusing on how they build curriculum, support students’ literacy skills, and prepare students to think and act critically within and beyond the classroom. In order to provide direct classroom-to-classroom insights, the authors draw on letters written by veteran teachers addressed to new teachers entering the field. The first section of the book introduces the three approaches teachers can take for teaching for social justice within the constraints of the Common Core State Standards (embracing, reframing, or resisting the standards). The second section analyzes specific approaches to teaching the Common Core, using teacher narratives to illustrate key processes. The final section demonstrates how teachers develop, support, and sustain their identities as justice-oriented educators in standards-driven classrooms. Each chapter includes exemplary lesson plans drawn from diverse grades and classrooms, and offers concrete recommendations to guide practice. Book Features: Offers advice from experienced educators who have learned to successfully navigate the constraints of high-stakes testing and standards-based mandates.Shares and analyzes curricular and pedagogical approaches to teaching the Common Core, including lesson plans teachers can use in their own classrooms. Examines a range of philosophical and political stances that teachers might take as they navigate the unique demands of teaching for social justice in their own context. “This inspiring book invites us into conversations that cannot help but to make our teaching more collective, impactful, and profound.” —Kevin Kumashiro, University of San Francisco “This is a must-read book for practicing and aspiring educators interested in learning how to teach justice-oriented, critical social studies.” —Brian D. Schultz, Northeastern Illinois University “At a time of increasing pressure on teachers, this book provides practical approaches from teachers, for teachers to teach within the confines of the Common Core without compromising rigor, integrity, or social justice.” —Tyrone C. Howard, director, UCLA Black Male Institute, UCLA
This important work satisfies the need for a thorough assessment of environmental justice concerns at the global level. Using three international environmental case studies, the book extends the theory of environmental justice, commonly used in domestic settings, to the international arena of environmental law, policy and politics. Spanning the traditional boundaries between political science, international relations, international law, international political economy and policy studies, this text is intended primarily for scholars of environmental justice, national and international policymakers, businesses, activists and students of international environmental law, public policy and political economy of the third world.
