The Power: My Autobiography

The ten-times world darts champion, the king of the oche, and a legend in the game. Largely responsible for taking darts into the 21st century, eschewing drink and advocating fitness to improve performance, Taylor covers around 500,000 miles a year competing across Britain, and in countries as far apart as the USA and China.

When Philip Taylor arrived in New York City to begin work as a middle school social studies teacher, he encountered students whose learning potential was stifled by the rigid demands of a traditional, textbook-driven curriculum.Redcoats and Patriots describes how he challenged that curriculum, kindled his students' interest, and ultimately transformed their learning experience - and how he accomplished this through the use of process drama.
Drawing from a unique blend of narrative reflection and classroom-based research, Taylor illustrates how he introduced drama into the social studies curriculum, inviting his students to become participants in history rather than mere observers of it. As his students investigate primary source documents, maintain journals, write letters, reconstruct events through role play, and create scenes and tableaux, they engage with the subject and with each other in ways previously unimaginable. Their curiosity and creativity are aroused as they and their teacher generate a curriculum that reflects their potential and celebrates their strengths.
But Taylor offers more than an innovative approach to teaching social studies;Redcoats and Patriots is also the story of a teacher engaged in classroom-based inquiry, critically examining his pedagogical beliefs and practices in response to the realities of his classroom. As the book progresses, we see Taylor become empowered as he responds to, and learns from, the questions and challenges posed by his students. Taylor and his students will inspire teachers of all disciplines who are looking to invigorate the curriculum . . . and their own teaching.

Heinemann Drama

Applied theatre is both a term and a movement that's gathering momentum. The movement springs from the desire to change or transform human behavior through the medium of theatre. In this book, Philip Taylor offers strategies for using theatre to raise awareness, propose alternatives, provide healing, and implement community change. As he demonstrates, applied theatre teaches us to teach others, helps communities deal with issues, and gives voice to the views of the silent and the marginal. In numerous examples, Taylor shows exactly how the theatrical art form is being harnessed to help communities question aspects of who they are and what they aspire to be.

With the current emphases on standards and evidence-based learning, it’s time to revisit the question of whether standards liberate or stifle excellence in arts education. Assessment in Arts Education examines the pressing issues that educators everywhere and at all levels face as they make determinations about progress and achievement in the arts. Assessment in Arts Education critiques the application of standards in arts education and the extent to which benchmarks and attainment levels are practically and educationally sensible. It opens up an interdisciplinary discussion on arts-education assessment and provides helpful advice for thinking about assessment and evaluation. Leaders in drama, music, dance, and the visual arts detail how they’ve navigated the issues around assessment and tackled tough questions such

This study describes research into teachers’ role conceptions and uncertainties in different types of school and neighbourhood.

Foucault, Governmentality, and Organization (Routledge Research in Employment Relations)

This book traces how abstract managerial ideas about maximizing production flexibility and employee freedom were translated into concrete, day-to-day practices at the Motorola plant in East Kilbride, UK. Using eyewitness accounts, the book describes how employees dealt with the increased freedom Motorola promoted amongst its employees, how employees adapted to managerial changes, specifically the elimination of large-scale management, and where the ‘managerless’ system came under strain. This book will be of essential reading for researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates interested in the areas of management studies, human resource management, and organizational studies, among others.

A study of beetles, covering different types, size and appearance, birth and reproduction, growth, feeding, predators, length of life and movement. It is designed to support children's investigations into life processes at Key Stage 1. Focusing on familiar minibeasts means that children can go into a garden or school grounds to see and research the bugs themselves, so reinforcing learning. Series features include "bug maps" and simple questions based on information given in the spreads. Each spread builds on information given in the previous one.
