Understanding the Te Whariki Approach (Understanding the… Approach)

Understanding the Te Whāriki Approach is a much–needed source of information for those wishing to extend and consolidate their understanding of the Te Whāriki approach, introducing the reader to an innovative bicultural curriculum developed for early childhood services in New Zealand. It will enable the reader to analyse the essential elements of this approach to early childhood and its relationship to quality early years practice. Providing students and practitioners with the relevant information about a key pedagogical influence on high quality early years practice in the United Kingdom, the book explores all areas of the curriculum, emphasising:   strong curriculum connections to families and the wider community;    a view of teaching and learning that focuses on responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places and things;   a view of curriculum content as cross-disciplinary and multi-modal;   the aspirations for children to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society;   a bicultural framework in which indigenous voices have a central place.  Written to support the work of all those in the field of early years education and childcare, this is a vital text for students, early years and childcare practitioners, teachers, early years professionals, children’s centre professionals, lecturers, advisory teachers, head teachers and setting managers.

Grammar Wars: Language as Cultural Battlefield in 17th and 18th Century England (Routledge Revivals)

This title was first published in 2001: Although 17th- and 18th-century English language theorists claimed to be correcting errors in grammar and preserving the language from corruption, this new study demonstrates how grammar served as an important cultural battlefield where social issues were contested. Author Linda C. Mitchell situates early modern linguistic discussions, long thought to be of little interest, in their larger cultural and social setting to show the startling degree to which grammar affected, and was affected by, such factors as class and gender. In her examination of the controversies that surrounded the teaching and study of grammar in this period, Mitchell looks especially at changing definitions and standardization of "grammar", how and to whom it was taught, and how grammar marked the social position of marginal groups. Her comprehensive study of the contexts in which grammar was intended or thought to function is based on her analysis of the ancillary materials - prefaces, introductions, forewords, statements of intent, organization of materials, surrounding materials, and manifestos of pedagogy, philosophy, and social or political goals - of more than 300 grammar texts of the time. The book is intended as a landmark study of an important movement in the foundation of the modern world.

Chickfit Studio LLC., The

The main focus of the journal is the eating component. This program is unlike any other program you've tried in the past. It's more than just a simple exercise plan. It goes beyond a list of foods to avoid, or in the case of some plans, an even shorter list of foods you can actually eat. The SWEAT Project is a complete plan to help you transform your body and your health, it will teach you how to move, how to fuel your body, and give you the mindset and support you need to not give up!The SWEAT Project starts out by teaching you the basics of a healthy lifestyle. I help ease youinto things by giving you some general guidelines and letting you choose what to eat. You'll have freedom, but with enough guidance that you feel really supported on your journey. I'll also help you work through any cravings you have so you're ready and able to take the next step.Once you have the hang of things, we'll start to dial things up. I'll teach you advanced fat- burning strategies, but in a way that's totally accessible (and never overwhelming). We're going to get your metabolism going (faster than it's gone in years!) and teach your body to burn through its fat stores so you'll start to look leaner. And, once you're burning fat and your metabolism is running high, you'll have lots of natural energy to spend both at work and athome.If you've tried weight loss programs in the past and failed, my guess is the biggest thing you were missing is support. You didn't have the support system you needed, and especially not from a qualified expert. You didn't have someone to go to when you had questions about howto apply the program to your unique life and circumstances and, you didn't have the support of others on the same journey; women who will help lift you up and pick you up if you fall.You will also grow by being a support to others in the community too!

The Decommodification of Early Childhood Education and Care (Contesting Early Childhood)

Vandenbroeck, Michel

Lehrer, Joanne

The Decommodification of Early Childhood Education and Care: Resisting Neoliberalism explores how processes of marketisation and privatisation of ECEC have impacted understandings of children, childcare, parents, and the workforce, providing concrete examples of resistance to commodification from diverse contexts. Through processes of marketisation and privatisation, neoliberal discourses have turned ECEC into a commodity whereby economic principles of competition and choice have replaced the purpose of education. The Decommodification of Early Childhood Education and Care: Resisting Neoliberalism offers new and alternative understandings of policy and practice. Written with co-authors from diverse countries, case studies vividly portray resistance to children as human capital, to the "consumentality" of parents, and to the alienation of the early childhood workforce. Ending with messages of hope, the authors discuss the demise of neoliberalism and offer new ways forward. As an international book with global messages contributing to theory, policy, and practice regarding alternatives to a neoliberal and commodified vision of ECEC, this book offers inspiration for policy makers and practitioners to develop local resistance solutions. It will also be of interest to post-graduate students, researchers, educators, and pre-service educators with an interest in critical pedagogy, ECEC policy, and ECEC practice.
