With the familiar call to reform in Physical Education, more needs
to be known about factors that promote or inhibit change.
Increasing the ability of primary Phyical Education teachers to
learn and adapt to change is one way of improving the current
situation in Physical Education. Teachers' capacity to change and
learn is influenced by their personal experiences, school
organizations, professional development experiences and communities
of practice. This book uses case studies to explore the experiences
of primary Phyical Education teachers in order to gain a deeper
understanding of the factors that have influenced their values,
beliefs and practices. The experiences of each teacher are used to
generate a discussion about their influences on the teachers'
ability to learn and adapt to change. The concept of communities of
practice is used to reflect on how to create more effective
learning opportunities for primary Physical Education teachers.
The definitive biography of John Knox, a leader of the Protestant
Reformation in sixteenth-century Scotland "Never before has there
been such a thoroughly and sympathetically critical treatment of
the 16th-century Scottish reformer's thought and times. . . . A joy
to read and a book to value."-Sean Michael Lucas, Gospel Coalition
Based in large part on previously unavailable sources, including
the recently discovered papers of John Knox's close friend and
colleague Christopher Goodman, this biography challenges the
traditionally held stereotype of the founder of the Presbyterian
denomination as a strident and misogynist religious reformer whose
influence rarely extended beyond Scotland. Instead, Jane Dawson
maintains that Knox relied heavily on the support of his "godly
sisters" and conferred as well as argued with Mary, Queen of Scots.
He was a proud member of the European community of Reformed
Churches and deeply involved in the religious Reformations within
England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, and the Holy Roman Empire.
Casting a surprising new light on the public and private personas
of a highly complex, difficult, and hugely compelling individual,
Dawson's fascinating study offers a vivid, fully rounded portrait
of this renowned Scottish preacher and prophet who had a seismic
impact on religion and society.
