Kim, Shin Myoung; Moore, Mary Elizabeth (2018). Encountering Dignity: Building Human Community. Religious Education, v113 n3 p314-325. Encounters with dignity are learning moments that foster humanization and communal values, even in settings of radical difference. This article probes the potential of such learning, reviewing pedagogies of encounter and analyzing the values of dignity implicit in that work. Diving more deeply into the phenomenon of dignity, the authors analyze biographical and oral history narratives to discover the complex features of dignity encounters. They then interpret these features from the perspectives of Confucian and Christian traditions of learning, concluding with proposals for educational practices in communities faced with the wonders and challenges of radical difference….

Brownrigg, Sophie (2018). Breaking Bad News to People with Learning Disabilities: A Literature Review. British Journal of Learning Disabilities, v46 n4 p225-232 Dec. Background: This article provides a literature review exploring reasons for disclosure and nondisclosure of bad news to people with learning disabilities. Connections are made to current policy, law and ethics to highlight the complexity of this issue. Methods: This review examines literature on disclosing bad news to people with learning disabilities from 2007 to 2017. A total of 13 articles were found with nine articles having a direct focus on breaking bad news. Results: The main themes identified from this review are maintaining rights and dignity, upholding duty of care, underestimating resilience, protection from harm and capacity to understand. Exploration of who should disclose is examined in reference to relatives, staff and healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Trends surrounding disclosure of diagnosis and prognosis to people with learning disabilities have not kept pace with the trend to disclose with the general population. People with learning disabilities are… [Direct]

Bathmaker, Ann-Marie, Ed.; Knight, Elizabeth, Ed.; Moodie, Gavin, Ed.; Orr, Kevin, Ed.; Webb, Susan, Ed.; Wheelahan, Leesa, Ed. (2022). Equity and Access to High Skills through Higher Vocational Education. Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning. Palgrave Studies in Adult Education and Lifelong Learning This book explores new and distinctive forms of higher vocational education across the globe, and asks how the sector is changing in response to the demands of the 21st century. These new forms of education respond to two key policy concerns: an emphasis on high skills as a means to achieve economic competitiveness, and the promise of open access for adults hitherto excluded from higher education. Examining a range of geographic contexts, the editors and contributors aim to address these contexts and highlight various similarities and differences in developments. They locate their analyses within the various political and socio-economic contexts, which can make particular reforms possible and achievable in one context and almost unthinkable in another. Ultimately, the book promotes a critical understanding of evolving provisions of higher vocational education, refusing assumptions that policy borrowing from apparently 'successful' countries offers a straightforward model for others… [Direct]

Knezevic, Zlatana (2021). Speaking Bodies-Silenced Voices: Child Protection and the Knowledge Culture of 'Evidencing'. Global Studies of Childhood, v11 n3 p252-264 Sep. Using the metaphors "body" and "voice" and drawing on critical contributions on biopolitics, this article interrogates children's participation rights in a knowledge culture of 'evidencing'. With child welfare and protection practice as an empirical example, I analyse written assessment reports from a Swedish child welfare agency, all exemplifying how social workers evidence needs for protection and reasons for removing children from the home. I discuss how 'evidencing' equals a knowledge culture of "seeing-believing" and "predicting-believing" and the search for visibly damaged bodies and underdeveloped minds. I furthermore problematise how such conceptualisation of evidencing foregrounds children's 'speaking' bodies while silencing their voices. By showing these manifestations of evidencing, this critical contribution discusses some wider epistemic concerns for fields influenced by the knowledge cultures of 'the evidence-based'…. [Direct]

(1999). Report on Tribal Priority Allocations. As part of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) funding, Tribal Priority Allocations (TPA) are the principal source of funds for tribal governments and agency offices at the reservation level. According to their unique needs and circumstances, tribes may prioritize funding among eight general categories: government, human services, education, public safety, community development, resources management, trust services, and general administration. In 1997, Congress directed the BIA to examine options on other methods of distributing TPA funds based on identified tribal need. This report summarizes findings of a BIA/tribal workgroup on this issue. Chapter 1 describes background issues: wide variations among Indian tribes and lands that impede development of one funding formula; American Indians' severely disadvantaged status; Federal trust responsibilities to Indians; and the right of tribal governments to have their priorities respected. Chapter 2 recounts the historical and legal basis for… [PDF]

Jurmo, Paul, Comp. (1985). "Dialogue Is Not a Chaste Event." Comments by Paulo Freire on Issues in Participatory Research. This document records the reactions of the Brazilian author/educator Paulo Freire to the questions: (1) what should educators do when the people with whom they work are not interested in the ideas of dialogical analysis and participatory decision making?; (2) what should educators do when they encounter hostility from people who feel that a dialogical and participatory process would threaten the status quo?; and (3) do educators have any right to get involved in a process of transformation in another culture? These questions stemmed from a 1982 project intended to increase African farmers' understanding of their own cooperative marketing system and to raise their level of participation in management of the cooperatives. Freire's answers are summarized as follows. Dialogue with others is necessary to the act of knowing because knowing takes place in human, cultural, and historical space. First, educators have to respond to the group, answering their expectations. They must become…

(2005). Confronting the Graduation Rate Crisis in California. Civil Rights Project at Harvard University Every year, across the country, a dangerously high percentage of students–disproportionately poor and minority–disappear from the educational pipeline before graduating from high school. Nationally, only about 68% of all students who enter 9th grade will graduate "on time" with regular diplomas in 12th grade. While the graduation rate for white students is 75%, only approximately half of Black, Latino, and Native American students earn regular diplomas alongside their classmates. Graduation rates are even lower for Black, Latino and Native American males. Yet, because of misleading and inaccurate reporting of dropout and graduation rates, the public remains largely unaware of this educational and civil rights crisis. California's failure to graduate so many of its students is a tragic story of wasted human potential and tremendous economic loss. When high numbers of youth leave school ill-prepared to contribute to our labor force and to civic life, our economy and our… [PDF]

Zuckerman, Michael (1988). The Contest for Public Culture in America Since the Sixties. The defeat of the United States in the Vietnam War affected the dearest notions held by Americans of the nature of the national existence. That defeat determined, in the words of John Hellman, "the disruption of our story, of our explanation of the past and vision of the future." This appears most poignantly, perhaps, in school history texts published after the defeat. Pre-war textbooks dispensed the indisputable truth of things. After the war, they were haunted by a sense of uncertainty. As authors tried to acknowledge the realities of a multiracial, multiethnic society, a resurgent political right reasserted the prerogatives of priviledged white males by appealing to an intransigent racism among voters. The one development of the 1980s which may have moved the nation toward conciliation rather than exacerbation of the persisting contentions of the 1960s was the dedication of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, DC. It marks the moment when the nation ceased to… [PDF]

Stepick, Alex (1981). Structural Determinants of the Haitian Refugee Movement: Different Interpretations. Occasional Papers Series, Dialogues #4. By borrowing and adapting theoretical frameworks from the structural approach to migration and the dialectical view of legal repression, this paper attempts to explain why Haitian boat people in south Florida have been so singularly persecuted and, secondly, why the government's efforts to expel the Haitians have failed. First, the study's structural approach is developed: within this framework, the Haitian population's movements are seen as fundamentally determined by economic cycles and their fate is tied to their mode of incorporation into the receiving economy. Because the boat people possess neither the human nor financial capital to create an enclave or become integrated into the primary sector, their only alternative is south Florida's relatively underdeveloped secondary labor market. The paper also analyzes the particular "push" factors in Haiti which have encouraged massive emigration, and the "pull" factors in south Florida. The latter are seen as… [PDF]

(1980). Denuclearization for a Just World: The Failure of Non Proliferation. The document discusses the non proliferation policies of nuclear power nations. It specifically focuses on the credibility gap which exists between the actual statements of peaceful intentions made by these nations which express the need for non proliferation of nuclear weapons and their actual conduct with regards to nuclear-related issues in international relations. Described as a declaration prepared by a group of concerned scholars and open for signature by concerned individuals throughout the world, the document is part of a project committed to encouraging research, education, dialogue, and action for a more just world order. Instances in which nuclear nations have endangered world peace are identified. These include allowing politics to become increasingly militarized, neglecting social and human services in favor of increased military expenditures, deploying strategic and nuclear missiles in Europe (both NATO and Warsaw Pact nations are guilty of this), attempting to…

Brozik, Dallas; Sottile, James M., Jr. (2004). The Use of Simulations in a Teacher Education Program: The Impact on Student Development. A Critical Review. Online Submission, Paper presented at the Hawaii International Conference on Education (Jan 3-6, 2004). Simulations and games have been used in education for decades, but most of this development has been in the areas of business and economics. Well-designed simulations and games have been shown to improve decision-making and critical thinking skills as well as teaching discipline-specific concepts. Active learning also helps students develop interpersonal and communications skills. It is believed that simulations can be adapted and developed in other areas of education. In this paper, a description of a simulation that has been developed and used in a human development course in the teacher education program is reviewed. Students were divided into groups and the groups were given specific roles related to a scenario dealing with a dysfunctional family. The roles included the parents, advocates for the children, the children?s teachers, psychologists, and judges. The groups were given information at the beginning and during the simulation. The advocate groups made their presentations… [PDF]

Coltoff, Philip; Lifton, Natasha; Torres, Myrna (1999). The Human Cost of Waiting for Child Care: A Study. This study sought to put a human face on child care finances in New York City by documenting the everyday struggles of low-income working families, and those making the transition from welfare to work, who are unable to obtain good quality, stable child care. The Children's Aid Society surveyed 150 parents on child care waiting lists maintained by established community-based child care agencies. Specific findings were: (1) 77 percent of families believed that their current child care situations were negatively affecting their children; (2) over 70 percent of families used an unregulated child care arrangement; (3) 49 percent of families with incomes of $6,000 to $12,000 spent between 20 and 50 percent of their income on child care; (4) 36 percent of parents said they were either unable to work or had lost their jobs, 20 percent said they had been late or missed work, and 16 percent went on public assistance because of lack of quality child care; (5) 64 percent of parents said they… [PDF]

Gulla, Amanda Nicole (1999). Textual Orientations: Gay and Lesbian Students and the Making of Discourse Communities. For Peter Elbow, a writing classroom should be an opportunity for students to tell their stories to a community in which everyone is safe to take risks, and all support each other in the development of their expressive skills. To be \other,\ however, is always a scary thing. The lesbian, gay, or bisexual writing student is usually seen as having a choice of being \in the closet\ or \in your face.\ She must size up every situation she enters: classroom, social, workplace, health care provider, etc., and determine how safe it is to reveal her true identity. What can courses in queer pedagogy do to address the issue of homophobia in the academy? For instance, the whole notion of a course designed specifically to address the issues of an oppressed group strikes many members of the dominant population as a deliberate stepping outside the mainstream to further delineate existing social divisions. Elbow refers to a \dangerous audience\ but does not specify what makes it so. Any writing… [PDF]

Bok, Derek (2004). Universities in the Marketplace: The Commercialization of Higher Education. Princeton University Press Is everything in a university for sale if the price is right? In this book, one of America's leading educators cautions that the answer is all too often \yes.\ Taking the first comprehensive look at the growing commercialization of our academic institutions, Derek Bok probes the efforts on campus to profit financially not only from athletics but increasingly, from education and research as well. He shows how such ventures are undermining core academic values and what universities can do to limit the damage. Commercialization has many causes, but it could never have grown to its present state had it not been for the recent, rapid growth of money-making opportunities in a more technologically complex, knowledge-based economy. A brave new world has now emerged in which university presidents, enterprising professors, and even administrative staff can all find seductive opportunities to turn specialized knowledge into profit. Bok argues that universities, faced with these temptations, are… [Direct]

Negro Educational Review, The, v56 n1 p19-32 Jan. As Americans commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "Brown v the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas" U.S. Supreme Court public school desegregation decision on (the Brown decision), the author was tempted to refer to it as a "celebration of the Golden Anniversary of the legal end to racial segregation in the public schools of the United States." When the decision was rendered, on May 17,1954, he was so elated that he was confident that 50 years later public school racial desegregation would be a thing of the past and a truly "golden celebration" would be highly appropriate. While he is still convinced that the Brown Decision was a necessary and fundamental prerequisite for human dignity, race relations, personal/social adjustment, equal educational access, and progress toward the American Ideal, events that have emerged and continuing efforts to obscure, evade, emasculate, and override the Decision, demand that Americans have an "observance"… [Direct]

Neumann, Henry (1918). Moral Values in Secondary Education. Bulletin, 1917, No. 51. Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior The purpose of this bulletin is to stimulate the thought of teachers in discovering their innumerable opportunities for quickening the conscience and clarifying the moral vision of their pupils. The attention of teachers is here directed also to the other reports of the commission, in which are elaborated many of the ideas presented in this report. No series of reports, however, could compass the rich opportunities of the secondary school for developing the ethical life of young people. To consider moral values in education is to fix attention upon what should be the paramount aim. A schooling that imparts knowledge or develops skill or cultivates tastes or intellectual aptitudes, fails of its supreme object if it leaves its beneficiaries no better morally. In all their relationships present and future, that is, as schoolmates, as friends, as members of a family, as workers in their special vocations, as Americans, as world citizens, the greatest need of boys and girls is character,… [PDF]

Towards a Whole-School Approach for Sexuality Education in Supporting and Upholding the Rights and Health of Students with Intersex Variations. Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, v21 n5 p568-583. It is well documented that the most effective sexuality education programmes employ a whole-school learning approach. More specifically, when schools and their leaders and teachers embrace such an approach, they view student learning in the context of the whole experience of being at school — from the classroom, to the home and the partnerships schools form with the local community. In parallel to this, people born with intersex variations report the lack of a systematic and broad approach to recognition and inclusion of intersex variations in schools due to strong 'normativity' messaging, including that pertaining to the body. Similarly, schools fail to engage mindfully with contemporary content that promotes a positive and diverse understanding of intersex in educational spaces, guidelines, policies and the curriculum. In line with community expectations outlined by the Darlington Intersex Community Consensus Statement, peer-led intersex rights-and-health-advocacy, and… [Direct]

Evaluating Lifesharing: Quality of Life for Pennsylvanians with Intellectual Disability by Residence Type. Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, v56 n3 p255-267 Sep. This study examines differences in domains of quality of life (satisfaction; choice and control; dignity, respect, and rights; inclusion; physical setting; family satisfaction) among people with intellectual disability and varying levels of support needs in a variety of residence types. The sample includes 2,639 people with intellectual disability living in Pennsylvania and supported by the state's intellectual disability/autism agency. Overall, results indicate enhanced quality of life outcomes for people living in lifesharing, their own home, and with a relative, in contrast to those living in group homes or private intermediate care facilities. Furthermore, results suggest the critical need for equitable opportunities for community-based inclusive residential options for people with all levels of support needs.

Crowne, Sarah; Lin, Van-Kim (2020). Privacy and Security Considerations When Integrating Home Visiting Data. Early Childhood Data Collaborative Home visiting programs typically collect sensitive information about family characteristics, risk factors, and services received. States may choose to integrate these data with other early childhood data to learn more about the reach and effectiveness of the services and supports that families receive. As more states begin to integrate data across early childhood programs, data integration leaders should consider how the privacy and security of home visiting data are maintained when shared across organizations or integrated with other early childhood data. This resource describes the various types of entities, laws, and regulations that ensure the data privacy and security of home visiting data when they are used or integrated. To get data integration leaders the information they need to ensure privacy and security, we also include a series of questions for leaders to ask, research, and seek to answer prior to integrating home visiting data with other early childhood data.

Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, v21 n5 p584-599. Although marked by discourses of progressivism and revolutionary change with regard to the protection of civil rights for LGBTQIA+ people and equitable educational policies, California's institutionalised discriminatory ideologies against intersex people influence public school sexual health education. Focusing on one high school health classroom, both in-person and after moving online, this study provides a look at curriculum and instruction during one comprehensive sexual health unit. Analysis of materials and student interviews illustrates a lack of representation and perceived pathologisation of intersex bodies, people and lived experiences. Now more than ever, schools have a critical responsibility to rethink inclusive sexual health education and actively engage in the education and advocacy to end intersex marginalisation and erasure….

Murray, Georgina; √ñchsner, Marco (2019). Women, Capitalism and Education: On the Pedagogical Implications of Postfeminism. Educational Philosophy and Theory, v51 n7 p709-720. We examine the emergence of the 'postfeminist' sensibility from feminist theory and praxis, and its relation and relevance to education. Analytical frameworks such as postfeminism and intersectionality have given equal weight to recognition-based struggles, such as those based on sexual, racial, class-based, gender-related identities. We follow Nancy Fraser's argument that these identity-based movements have been co-opted by neoliberal politicians and bureaucratic policy-makers, and become a divide and rule strategy, neglecting the subjugating power of capital. Beginning with third-wave feminism's emphasis on individual identity, women's struggles have been become a part of the greater parisitic neoliberal project. We consider the implications of this docile and domesticated feminism for the education of women…. [Direct]
