Examining Teach For All - International Perspectives on a Growing Global Network (Paperback): Matthew A. M. Thomas, Emilee... Examining Teach For All - International Perspectives on a Growing Global Network (Paperback)
Matthew A. M. Thomas, Emilee Rauschenberger, Katherine Crawford-Garrett
R1,250 Discovery Miles 12 500 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

*Winner, 2022 Outstanding Book Award from the Society of Professors of Education* *Winner, 2021 Book Award from the Globalization and Education SIG, Comparative and International Education Society* Examining Teach For All brings together research focused on Teach For All and its affiliate programmes to explore the organisation's impact on education around the world. Teach For All is an expanding global network of programmes in more than 50 countries that aim to radically transform education systems by recruiting talented graduates to teach for two years in under-resourced schools and developing them into lifelong advocates of reform. The volume offers nuanced insights into the interests and contexts shaping Teach For All and the challenges and possibilities inherent in broader efforts to enact education reform on a global scale. This volume is the first of its kind to present empirical research on the emergence and expansion of Teach For All programmes, which replicate and adapt the Teach For America model around the world. The volume traces the network's expansion from its initial launch in 2007 to its growing international presence, as chapters present new research from national contexts as diverse as Bangladesh, Lebanon, and Spain. Using evidence from a range of perspectives and research methodologies, the chapters collectively highlight the ways in which Teach For All and its affiliate programmes are working to alter educational landscapes worldwide. This book will be of great interest for scholars, educators, post-graduate students, and policymakers in the fields of comparative education, teacher education, education leadership, and education policy. It paves the way for future critical inquiry into this expanding global network as well as further investigations of educational change around the world.

Australian Universities - A conversation about public good (Paperback): Julia Horne, Matthew A. M. Thomas Australian Universities - A conversation about public good (Paperback)
Julia Horne, Matthew A. M. Thomas
R827 R717 Discovery Miles 7 170 Save R110 (13%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Reshapes the current public and academic conversations about higher education policy and practice to determine what is good higher education policy. Brings together a group of higher education experts from different disciplinary backgrounds including policy studies, history, sociology, political science, and education to explain the Australian university experience today. Covers topics of great interest to researchers, postgraduate students, practitioners of higher education policy and practice; historians of education, politics, and Australian life; and general readers interested in universities as social institutions. Australian Universities: A conversation about public good highlights contemporary challenges facing Australian universities and offers new ideas for expanding public good. More than 20 experts take up the debate about our public universities: who they are for; what their mission is (or should be); what strong higher education policy entails; and how to cultivate a robust and constructive relationship between government and Australian universities. Issues covered include: How to change a culture of exclusion to ensure all are welcome in universities, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students as well as those from low socio-economic backgrounds. How "educational disadvantage" in Australia often begins in school and is still the major barrier to full university participation. The reality that funding for research and major infrastructure requires significant additional funds from non-government sources (e.g. international student fees). A lack of policy recognition that international university students increase Australias social, cultural and economic capital. Pathways to making policy decisions wide-ranging, consultative, inclusive and inspired rather than politically partisan and deologically driven. The impact of COVID-19 on universities, and particularly how the pandemic and governmental responses exacerbated extant and emerging issues. Australian Universities rekindles a much-needed conversation about the vital role of public universities in our society, arguing for initiatives informed by the realities of university life and offering a way forward for government, communities, students and public universities together to advance public good.
