Student engagement is fundamental to learning, yet it also
constitutes a major and long-standing challenge to educators around
the world. This book provides an evidence-based theorisation of
features associated with schooling engagement, along with targeted
strategies that underpin a continuum of pedagogical, curricular and
social support during the years of young adolescent schooling.
Anchored by the Young Adolescent Engagement in Learning Model, a
multi-layered model which incorporates a continuum of behavioural,
emotional and cognitive dimensions of engagement, the authors
provide a framework to help support the engagement of young
adolescents. Seamlessly integrating theory and practice, this book
explores the importance of avoiding educational disengagement,
particularly from those who are most vulnerable due to a range of
personal factors. This volume will be of interest and value to
students and scholars of educational young adolescent engagement
and retention, as well as those working with young people.
This memoir of Celeste de Chabrillan, former Parisian courtesan,
circus performer, dancer, and wife of the French consul, offers a
firsthand account of the years she spent in gold rush Victoria
during the middle of the 19th century. De Chabrillan recounts
stories of her childhood in the village of St. Kilda, her time
spent in the Ballarat gold field, and her attendance of a public
hanging and Governor Hotham's "beer ball." The publication of this
memoir, which includes descriptions of her illegitimate birth,
miserable adolescence, and celebrity career as a bareback rider and
polka dancer, resulted in de Chabrillan's ostracism from Melbourne
society and her being nicknamed the consul's "harlot spouse."
Celeste de Chabrillan, former courtesan and widow of the first
French Consul to Melbourne, became the most prolific female stage
writer in nineteenth-century France. Forever haunted by her
scandalous past, Celeste fought to hold her place in an artistic
world dominated by men. Courtesan and Countess tells the story not
only of her struggle as a creative artist to survive and earn a
living, but also of her fascinating life at the centre of the
bohemian circles of Paris, surrounded by friends such as Alexandre
Dumas pere, Georges Bizet and Prince Napoleon. Courtesan and
Countess paints a portrait of a remarkable woman and of the
turbulent world of Paris during the Belle Epoque. Lost for more
than eighty years until discovered by the authors in the attic of a
French country manor, these are the unpublished and final set of
memoirs from Celeste de Chabrillan.
