Seasons 3 and 4 of the perennially popular British sitcom set in a holiday camp in the late 50s/early 60s. In 'Nice People with Nice Manners', Yvonne and Barry hold a party in their chalet for the staff they consider to be 'socially acceptable'. But when Peggy mixes up the invitations, they get a few unexpected guests. In 'Carnival Time', Joe enlists Ted's help in organising a float for the town carnival. 'A Matter of Conscience' sees the staff at Maplin's attempting to thwart the local council's plans to build a new hospital right next to the camp by making as much noise as they can. In 'The Pay-Off', the council is still determined to go ahead with its plans to build the hospital, so Joe resorts to bribing the local councillors. In 'Trouble and Strife', Ted's ex-wife is demanding that he pay up his maintenance arrears. Ted has to act quickly - and cunningly - to raise the cash in time. 'Stripes' sees Joe promoting Gladys to Head Yellowcoat after a secret visit to the camp. In 'Co-Respondent's Course', Jeffrey's wife sends her new boyfriend to ask Jeffrey for a divorce. When Jeffrey is reluctant to give grounds, her boyfriend decides to try to unearth some evidence himself. 'It's a Blue World' sees Ted arranging a special late-night showing of an adult film for the male campers. In 'Eruptions', Ted retaliates after having his act rudely interrupted by a volcano in the ballroom. In 'The Society Entertainer', Spike is a changed man after falling head over heels for one of the female campers - much to the detriment of his act. Meanwhile, Jeffrey has decided that Radio Maplin would benefit from having a new voice on the airwaves. In 'Sing You Sinners', Jeffrey finds himself standing in for the local chaplain to conduct the Sunday Half Hour - with unnerving results. 'Maplin Intercontinental' sees the troupe competing for a very special prize in this year's Best Yellowcoat Competition: a transer to the new Maplin's Holiday Camp in the Bahamas. In 'All Change', Joe appoints a new supervisor for the Yellowcoats, but is less than delighted when he discovers that she insists on having a chalet all to herself at the peak of the season when the camp is filled to capacity.

This book provides a wide-ranging review of the current state of teacher education, with contributions by an international group of teacher educators.

Psychoanalysis and the Family in Twentieth-Century France - FrancOise Dolto and Her Legacy (Hardcover): Richard Bates Psychoanalysis and the Family in Twentieth-Century France - FrancOise Dolto and Her Legacy (Hardcover)

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, if French people had a parenting problem or dilemma there was one person they consulted above all: Francoise Dolto (1908-88). But who was Dolto? How did she achieve a position of such influence? What ideas did she communicate to the French public? This book connects the story of Dolto's rise to two broader histories: the dramatic growth of psychoanalysis in postwar France and the long-running debate over the family and the proper role of women in society. It shows that Dolto's continued reputation in France as a liberal and enlightened educational thinker is at best only partially deserved and that conservative and anti-feminist ideas often underpinned her prominent public interventions. While Dolto retains the status of a national treasure, her career has had far-reaching and sometimes harmful repercussions for French society, particularly in the treatment of autism. -- .

The Aesthetic Dimensions of Educational Administration & Leadership (Paperback): Eugenie A. Samier, Richard Bates The Aesthetic Dimensions of Educational Administration & Leadership (Paperback)
Eugenie A. Samier, Richard Bates
R1,551 Discovery Miles 15 510 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The question of aesthetics as a theoretical framework for thinking about modern leadership issues in educational settings is an emergent area of inquiry that is receiving considerable attention. There is a growing sense that the mechanistic approach to leadership, which has been widely encouraged over the last ten years, is sterile and that a more philosophical approach is now required. This approach is covered here, taking into account the importance of aesthetics on all aspects of the administrative and leadership world: the ways ideas and ideals are created, how their expression is conveyed, the impact they have on interpersonal relationships and the organisational environment that carries and reinforces them and the moral boundaries or limits that can be established or exceeded. While presenting a significant departure from conventional studies in the field, the international contributors reflect a continuity of thought on administrative and leadership authority, from the writings of Plato through to current theory.

The number of schools that call themselves international is growing exponentially. In addition many other schools are exploring the concept of international-mindedness and what that might mean in the contemporary world of globalisation. This book sets out to provide a critical perspective on current issues facing 'international schooling', particularly the conflict between 'internationalising' and 'globalising' tendencies and to explore these as they affect teaching and learning, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment as well as to explore the contribution international schools might make to the achievement of global citizenship. It is the first book to critically analyse the ambiguities, tensions and conflicts that face those involved with and researching, international schools and their role in global networking. Issues addressed include:

  • the political economy of international schools (Hugh Lauder and Ceri Brown)
  • their relations to global and local cultures, global markets and civil society (Richard Bates)
  • the role of international schools in global networking (Michael Wylie)
  • the micropolitics of such schools (Richard Caffyn)
  • the growth complexity and challenges facing the International Baccalaureate (Tristan Bunnell)
  • the future demands for and of teachers in international schools (Mary Hayden and Jeff Thompson)
  • the nature of teaching and learning in international schools (Helen Fail)
  • the problematic idea of an international curriculum (Jim Cambridge)
  • issues facing international assessment (Richard Bates)
  • the challenge of education for global citizenship (Harriet Marshall).

This provocative book will be essential reading for those teaching in, leading and governing international schools in countries around the world, as well as those who contemplating entering the rapidly expanding world of international schooling.

R4,164 Discovery Miles 41 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"The Aesthetic Dimensions of Educational Administration and Leadership "provides an aesthetic critique of educational administration and leadership. It demonstrates the importance of aesthetics on all aspects of the administrative and leadership world: the ways ideas and ideals are created, how their expression is conveyed, the impact they have on interpersonal relationships and the organizational environment that carries and reinforces them, and the moral boundaries or limits that can be established or exceeded.
The book is divided into three sections.
- Section I examines various philosophical traditions in aesthetics as they inform administrative life, focussing on major modern traditions arising from Kant, romanticism and Nietzsche, Collingwood, the pragmatic school, and critical theory.
- Section II explores four aesthetic sources for administrative critique - architecture, literature, film, and movement - as they serve both to understand the social construction of administration and leadership and provide a critique of values, roles, power and authority.
- Section III examines more topical and applied problems of charisma, heroism, and authority in practice, concluding with a discussion of the aesthetic analysis of politics and power within the context of contemporary educational administration and leadership theory.
While presenting a significant departure from conventional studies in the field, the international contributors reflect a continuity of thought on the creation, use and abuse of administrative and leadership authority from the writings of Plato through to contemporary theory. This book should appeal to school administrators and leaders and thoseaspiring to these roles.

Florence Nightingale at Home (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Paul Crawford, Anna Greenwood, Richard Bates, Jonathan Memel Florence Nightingale at Home (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)

Winner of the 2021/2022 People's Book Prize Best Achievement Award Homes can be both comforting and troubling places. This timely book proposes a new understanding of Florence Nightingale's experiences of domestic life and how ideas of home influenced her writings and pioneering work. From her childhood homes in Derbyshire and Hampshire, she visited the poor sick in their cottages. As a young woman, feeling imprisoned at home, she broke free to become a woman of action, bringing home comforts to the soldiers in the Crimean War and advising the British population on the home front how to create healthier, contagion-free homes. Later, she created Nightingale Homes for nursing trainees and acted as mother-in-chief to her extended family of nurses. These efforts, inspired by her Christian faith and training in human care from religious houses, led to major changes in professional nursing and public health, as Nightingale strove for homely, compassionate care in Britain and around the world. Shedid most of this work from her bed after contracting the debilitating illness, brucellosis, in the Crimea, turning her various private homes into offices and 'households of faith'. In the year of the bicentenary of her birth, she remains as relevant as ever, achieving an astonishing cultural afterlife.
