Spatial Citizenship Education is an innovative exploration of ways
to engage and promote citizenship through a deeper understanding of
spatial and geographic perspectives. The authors propose that
recognizing the relationship between space and citizenry enables
productive and positive engagement with important societal issues
such as equity, justice, and environmental stewardship. By
providing a historical overview of geography's contribution to
citizenship education, including progress made and challenges faced
by educational reform movements, this collection shows how
geography can contribute to a new type of citizen-one with an
enhanced understanding of the world as seen through the key
concepts of geography: space, place, scale, power, and
human-environment relationships. Through a theoretical explanation
of key citizenship ideas, and by providing practical,
classroom-based teaching tools, this volume will be essential for
geography education researchers and social studies educators alike.

Encouraging young children to create and carry out their own social
research projects can have significant social and educational
benefits. In addition, their research may help them to influence
local and national policies and practices on issues that matter to
them. To support this, Developing Children as Researchers acts as a
practical guide to give teachers - and other adults who work with
children - a set of structured, easy-to-follow session plans that
will help children to become researchers in their own right.
Comprising of ten session plans that have already been tried and
tested in schools, this guide will assist you in supporting child
researchers while helping you to develop the techniques for
teaching research skills effectively. The session plans also ensure
that children's views are heard and reflected by encouraging their
active curiosity and investigation of issues that they may be
concerned about. Forming a step-by-step guide, the ten sessions
cover themes such as: starting the research process and identifying
a research topic; the three key principles of research: be
sceptical, systematic and ethical; choosing research participants
and drawing up a research plan; the range of data collection and
analysis methods; reporting the results of, and reflecting upon, a
research project. Children's research has often depended upon the
support of academic researchers to provide resources and training.
By making the research training and facilitation process more
widely accessible, this guide will help remove the psychological
and practical hurdles that teachers and others who regularly work
with children might feel about helping children's research
themselves.

There has been much talk and effort focused on the educational
achievement gap between white versus black, Hispanic and American
Indian students. While there has been some movement the gap has not
appreciably narrowed, and it has narrowed the least for Native
American students. This volume addresses this disparity by melding
evidence-based instruction with culturally sensitive materials and
approaches, outlining how we as educators and scientists can pay
the educational debt we owe our children. In the tradition of the
Native American authors who also contribute to it, this volume will
be a series of "stories" that will reveal how the authors have
built upon research evidence and linked it with their knowledge of
history and culture to develop curricula, materials and methods for
instruction of not only Native American students, but of all
students. It provides a framework for educators to promote cultural
awareness and honor the cultures and traditions that too few people
know about. After each major section of the volume, the editors
will provide commentary that will give an overview of these
chapters and how they model approaches and activities that can be
applied to other minority populations, including Blacks, Hispanics,
and minority and indigenous groups in nations around the globe.
On January 2, 1678, a fleet of French ships sank off the Venezuelan coast. This proved disastrous for French naval power in the region, and sparked the rise of a golden age of piracy. Tracing the lives of fabled pirates like the Chevalier de Grammont, Nikolaas Van Hoorn, Thomas Paine, and Jean Comte d'Estrées, The Lost Fleet portrays a dark age, when the outcasts of European society formed a democracy of buccaneers, settling on a string of islands off the African coast. From there, the pirates haunted the world's oceans, wreaking havoc on the settlements along the Spanish mainland and -- often enlisted by French and English governments -- sacking ships, ports, and coastal towns. More than three hundred years later, writer, explorer, and deep-sea diver Barry Clifford follows the pirates' destructive wake back to Venezuela. With the help of a lost map, drawn by the captain of the lost French fleet, Clifford locates the site of the disaster and wreckage of the once-mighty armada.
