Mentors and Mentoring
The definition and parameters of teacher education have recently been changed by the concept of mentoring. Supporters of the concept maintain that it is an effective technique for inducting and retaining new teachers, but who and what are mentors, and what attributes do they possess? Previous research has identified collaboration, enthusiasm, emotional commitment, and sensitivity as the necessary traits of an effective mentor. It has also been found that mentors are available, give immediate feedback, listen attentively, and collaboratively solve problems with mentees. Epistemological structures that best serve the mentor-novice relationship, gender issues between mentors and protégés, and...
The Day After Tomorrow
Amid the glamour and decadence of Paris, Rome and Cap Ferrat a group of insatiable men and women come together. Their hopes, their fears and their dreams lie in... THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. To Anne, the timid outsider, it is her chance to enter a life she has only dreamed about. A life where wealth and sophistication are the norm and beautiful people are the exclusive clientele. To Brenda, the chic Wall Street broker, it is an escape from the heartbreak of her past; an opportunity to venture forth into a world of new challenges. To Alessandro, the handsome Duke of Valdagno, it is his final chance. Living on borrowed time, in the world of Italian fashion design where the risks are high, all he needs is one lucky break. To Gino, it is the day he will ensnare his next victim. Feeding off the secret appetites and addictions of women, he ensures few can resist him. Fewer still can survive. They are all living for... THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
Niños de la Calle en México
El Libro: Existe ya una solución para quitar a los niños de la calle de manera definitiva y radical: si el Banco Mundial deja los fraccionamientos de pesos que quedan después de un intercambio de la casa internacional de cambio del Peso mexicano, a los mexicanos, entonces estas se convierten en números billonarios. No hacen falta los dineros. No hacen falta los recursos. De hecho, no hace falta nada... Si los niños no pueden irse a la escuela, entonces la escuela tiene que irse a ellos. Basado en las filosofías de Paulo Freire y Mathew Lipman, la Dra. Verville nos hace notar que tal vez una justicia en la educación demanda mucho mas de la parte de la gente privilegiada, que de la parte de la gente oprimida.
The "Underclass" Debate
Do ominous reports of an emerging "underclass" reveal an unprecedented crisis in American society? Or are social commentators simply rediscovering the tragedy of recurring urban poverty, as they seem to do every few decades? Although social scientists and members of the public make frequent assumptions about these questions, they have little information about the crucial differences between past and present. By providing a badly needed historical context, these essays reframe today's "underclass" debate. Realizing that labels of "social pathology" echo fruitless distinctions between the "deserving" and "undeserving" poor, the contributors focus not on individual and family behavior but on a ...
