The problems of people with disabilities are determined by the dynamics of interactions between them and the social environment in which they live. Therefore, the bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model of health is linked to the civilian model, accentuating the active participation in the social life of a particular community. The convergence of these models is present in the transdisciplinary content of the publication, which examines the quality of life of pupils in inclusive education in the Central European region. The authors identified specific limits and possibilities of the educational environment and its impact on the quality of life of children with disabilities. They explained the evidence-based practice and enhanced the competency-based approach to the persons involved in education, their relatives and multidisciplinary school teams.

The Waldorf school curriculum was developed to nurture the healthy development of the child, not only in mind but in body and spirit as well. Physical education and movement form an integral part of this holistic approach, encouraging children to be active not just for the sake of activity, but in order to experience themselves through meaningful movement and to form a stronger connection with the world around them. This indispensable book for teachers -- the most comprehensive of its kind available in English -- provides a wealth of practical insights on teaching physical education and movement in Waldorf Schools. It includes: -- Practical suggestions for games and exercises to teach a range of activities such as athletics, archery, climbing, gymnastics, dance, swimming and sailing. -- Over thirty sample lessons providing inspiration and quick, easy reference for activities for Classes 1-12. -- Exercises designed to suit different developmental stages: from simple, storytelling games for young children to more complex, demanding exercises for older pupils. -- Essays from teachers with decades of experience, exploring the value of physical education in Waldorf schools and how its emphasis on individual progress and co-operation over competition helps build pupils' confidence and self-belief. -- Suggestions of which Bothmer Movement exercises are best suited for different classes, based on an awareness of the laws of movement that underpin each age group. -- Practical advice on how teachers can adapt content covered in other subjects to create a more unified learning experience for pupils -- for example, organising their own Olympic Games to complement teaching about ancient Greece in history lessons. -- 250 inspiring colour photographs illustrating a variety of activities. This is an invaluable resource that provides both a wealth of practical ideas and a thoughtful consideration of physical education and movement that will give Steiner-Waldorf teachers confidence in preparing and delivering lessons.

This book is a compilation of case studies and analyses that can be used as a resource guide for college and university professors of foreign language and academic museum educators collaborating to develop new pedagogical approaches to teaching foreign language with and through objects in the academic museum. As institutions of higher education respond to the needs of an increasingly global and interconnected world, their educational missions prioritize learning in areas such as interdisciplinary thinking, collaboration, intercultural competency, and global citizenship.

When Valentina Tereshkova blasted off aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963, she became the first woman to rocket into space. It would be nineteen years before another woman got a chance—cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982—followed by American astronaut Sally Ride a year later. By breaking the stratospheric ceiling, these women forged a path for many female astronauts, cosmonauts, and mission specialists to follow. Women in Space profiles twenty-three pioneers from around the world, including Eileen Collins, the first woman to command the space shuttle; Peggy Whitson, who orbited aboard the International Space Station for more than a year; and Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space. Their story, and the stories of the pilots, physicists, and doctors who followed them, demonstrate the vital role women have played in the quest for scientific understanding.
