Capitalizing on the current movement in history education to nurture a set of shared methodologies and perspectives, this text looks to break down some of the obstacles to transnational understanding in history, focusing on pedagogy to embed democratic principles of inclusion, inquiry, multiple interpretations and freedom of expression. Four themes which are influencing the broadening of history education to a globalized community of practice run throughout Teaching History and the Changing Nation State: * pedagogy, democracy and dialogue * the nation - politics and transnational dimensions * landmarks with questions * shared histories, shared commemorations and re-evaluating past denials The contributors use the same pedagogical language in a global debate about history teaching and learning to break down barriers to search for shared histories and mutual understanding. They explore contemporary topics, including The Gallipoli Campaign in World War I, transformative approaches to a school history curriculum and the nature of federation.

In much of the world, religious traditions are seriously valued but, in the context of religious plurality, this sets educationalists an enormous challenge. This book provides a way forward in exploring religious life whilst showing how bridges might be built between diverse religious traditions. "Teaching Virtue" puts engagement with religious life - and virtue ethics - at the heart of religious education, encouraging 'learning from' religion rather than 'learning about' religion. The authors focus on eight key virtues, examining these for what they can offer of religious value to pupils and teachers. Individual chapters put the discussion into context by offering a vision of what religious education in the future could look like; the need for responsible religious education; a historical review of moral education and an introduction to virtue ethics. Lesson plans and examples demonstrate how the virtues may be approached in the classroom, making it an invaluable guide for all involved in teaching religious education.

Ronwyn realized the faith that came naturally to her was often a struggle for many, especially new believers. The GrowingwithGod by Ronwyn blog site was launched in November 2010 and through these blogs Ronwyn communicated the simplicity of her faith by linking events from everyday life to her knowledge of scripture. This devotional is based on those blogs. A word from the Editor - This book is written in a way that will be interesting to both Christians and Non-Christians, with the thread of salvation, walking with God and the Holy Spirit carried throughout through focusing on issues and events that are relevant to everyday life. I have gained much from this book and pray that it will become a light to many others June Louw
