Abstract

Research has shown that students' skills and knowledge often deteriorate during the summer months, with low-income students facing the largest losses. School districts and summer programming providers can benefit from the lessons learned by other programs in terms of developing strategies to maximize program effectiveness and quality, student participation, and strategic partnerships and funding.

Abstract

La République d’Irlande a connu au cours des vingt dernières années une véritable révolution sociale et culturelle, en s’ouvrant aux influences internationales, en entamant un processus de sécularisation et en devenant pour un temps le « Tigre celtique », pays d’immigration (ce jusqu’à la crise économique qui l’a frappée à partir de 2008). Alors que le poids traditionnel de l’Église catholique explique que celle-ci soit encore aujourd’hui la principale institution structurante d’un système éducatif irlandais fondé sur la ségrégation religieuse, la réalité d’une population de plus en plus évidemment multiculturelle et pluri-religieuse explique l’intensité du débat politique et public sur la question du contrôle et de la gestion des écoles irlandaises au cours des années deux mille. Le présent ouvrage explore les liens entre école, culture et religion en République d’Irlande et leurs implications idéologiques, politiques et sociales contemporaines (Irlande chrétienne, Irlande républicaine ?), qui font écho à nombre de débats européens et internationaux. La question de la place de la religion à l’école est posée sous l’angle des droits humains, particulièrement les droits des enfants, et sont notamment analysés les modes de légitimation des pratiques discriminatoires ou inégalitaires du système éducatif existant en matière de religion.

Abstract

This volume addresses important issues to do with access to higher education and different models of its financing in the East Asia region. It is enriched by diverse perspectives from vastly different starting points and by the historical and institutional settings in the region. The issues are set out in the context of the value of higher education in economic development and how it contributes to the capacities to adopt and adapt to new technologies and undertake institutional innovation. The established and well-functioning higher education loan and financing systems, such as those in Australia, and the experience of different systems tried—both in East Asia and in the United States—are brought to bear in this volume.

Abstract

This book is interdisciplinary in focus and centers on enlarging teachers' understanding of how reading and writing can change lives and how the language arts can contribute significantly to and change educational processes in the twenty-first century. Implicit in its argument is that although the emphasis on science and math is crucial to education in the digital edge, it remains vitally important to keep reading and writing, language and story, at the heart of the educational process. This is particularly true in a democratic society because shaping stories through human language can enhance the quality of our lives, and teach us something important about what it means to be human and vulnerable. In this sense, stories allow for self-reflection and an increased opportunity to enhance and understand emotional intelligence and human community.
