As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil that she could use to redraw reality. She would use it for good; to give gifts to her family, to erase the smell from the rubbish dump near her house. (And to sleep an extra hour in the morning.)
As she grew older, Malala wished for bigger and bigger things. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.
This beautifully illustrated picture book tells Malala's story, in her own words, for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allowed her to hold on to hope and to make her voice heard even in the most difficult of times.
With the aim to help teachers design and deliver instruction around
world films featuring child protagonists, Cultivating Creativity
through World Films guides readers to understand the importance of
fostering creativity in the lives of youth. It is expected that by
teaching students about world films through the eyes of characters
that resemble them, they will gain insight into cultures that might
be otherwise unknown to them and learn to analyze what they see.
Teachers can use these films to examine and reflect on differences
and commonalities rooted in culture, social class, gender,
language, religion, etc., through guided questions for class
discussion. The framework of this book is conceived to help
teachers develop students' ability to evaluate, analyze, synthesize
and interpret. The proposed activities seek to incite reflection
and creativity in students, and can be used as a model for teachers
in designing future lessons on other films.
This Open Access book is about the development of a common
understanding of environmental citizenship. It conceptualizes and
frames environmental citizenship taking an educational perspective.
Organized in four complementary parts, the book first explains the
political, economic and societal dimensions of the concept. Next,
it examines environmental citizenship as a psychological concept
with a specific focus on knowledge, values, beliefs and attitudes.
It then explores environmental citizenship within the context of
environmental education and education for sustainability. It
elaborates responsible environmental behaviour, youth activism and
education for sustainability through the lens of environmental
citizenship. Finally, it discusses the concept within the context
of different educational levels, such as primary and secondary
education in formal and non-formal settings. Environmental
citizenship is a key factor in sustainability, green and cycle
economy, and low-carbon society, and an important aspect in
addressing global environmental problems. It has been an
influential concept in many different arenas such as economy,
policy, philosophy, and organizational marketing. In the field of
education, the concept could be better exploited and established,
however. Education and, especially, environmental discourses in
science education have a great deal to contribute to the adoption
and promotion of environmental citizenship.
Giving students opportunities to read like mathematicians as they
explore content has the potential to move their thinking and
understandings in monumental ways. Each chapter presented in this
volume provides readers with approaches and activities for pairing
a young adult novel with specific mathematics concepts. Chapters
include several instructional activities for before, during, and
after reading as well as extension activities that move beyond the
text as students continue to develop mathematical literacy.
Civics Education in Contentious Times: Working with Teachers to
Create Locally-Specific Curricula in a Post-Truth World is a
longitudinal research study that focuses on the collaboration
between a researcher and elementary teachers to design and
implement locally-specific civics curriculum in a predominately
Latinx-serving Title I school. William Toledo details how the
design team wrote and taught this curricular unit in the midst of
contentious socio-political contexts and how themes from these
greater contexts entered classrooms, along with proposing
conceptual frameworks for teaching civic perspective-taking in
these instances.
A first book of jobs that challenges stereotypes with its positive
and inclusive message. The important message in this first book of
jobs is that children can be whatever they want to be when they
grow up. With a variety of jobs and a diverse cast of characters,
this book is an excellent way to start conversations with young
children about their futures. The bold, graphic illustrations by
acclaimed illustrator Melanie Walsh, along with simple vocabulary,
bring each profession to life.

Brainball:Teaching Inquiry and Social Studies as a Team Sport is an
attempt to clarify that not only is social studies a game, but that
it is one of the most useful and powerful games that teachers and
students will ever play. Games are the doing of theory, and maybe
it would be a good idea to start doing social studies in every
social studies classroom.
