Georgian Houses for All

Georgian Houses for All

First published in 1978 Georgian Houses for All describes how little Gregorian houses came into being and how the original inhabitants used them. Gregorian houses at their smallest and simplest can be seen everywhere in the British Isles – detached semi-detached and joined together in terraces. There are probably still over a million of them built during a period of 130 years without the direct aid of architects. John Woodforde points out that an instinctive wish for a symmetrical front seems to be shown by young children’s drawings of houses these being generally balanced and orderly. The Georgians’ love of symmetry marked in their way of hanging pictures was part of a desire for private order amongst public disorder a desire to have one small sphere in which nature was fully controlled. John Woodforde reminds us that in the present-day return to terrace-house building the Georgian version remains a valuable guide. The book will be of interest to students of architecture urban planning and history.

Over the course of three sections Routman provides numerous Take Action ideas for implementing authentic and responsive teaching assessing and learning. This book poses a key question: How do we rise to the challenge of providing an engaging excellent equitable education for all learners including those from high poverty and underserved schools? Teaching for Engagement: Many high performing schools are characterized by a a thriving school culture built on a network of authentic communication. Teachers can strengthen classroom engagement by building a trusting and welcoming environment where all students can have a safe and collaborative space to grow and develop. Pursuing Excellence: Routman identifies 10 key factors that describe an excellent teacher ranging from intellectual curiosity to creativity and explains how carrying yourself as a role model contributes to an inclusive caring empathic and fair classroom. She also stresses the importance for school leaders to make job-embedded professional development a top priority. Dismantling Unequal Education: The huge gap in the quality of education in high vs low income communities is the civil rights issue of the 21st century according to Routman. She spells out specific actions educators can take to create more equitable schools and classrooms such as diversifying texts used in curriculums and ensuring all students have access to opportunities to discuss reflect and engage with important ideas. From the author I wrote Literacy Essentials because I saw a need to simplify teaching raise expectations and make expert teaching possible for all of us. I saw a need to emphasize how a school culture of kindness trust respect and curiosity is essential to any lasting achievement. I saw a need to demonstrate and discuss how and why the beliefs actions knowledge we hold determine the potential for many of our students. Equal opportunity to learn depends on a culture of engagement and equity which under lies a relentless pursuit of excellence. | Literacy Essentials Engagement Excellence and Equity for All Learners

Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation Biking for all?

Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation Biking for all?

As bicycle commuting grows in the United States the profile of the white middle-class cyclist has emerged. This stereotype evolves just as investments in cycling play an increasingly important role in neighborhood transformations. However despite stereotypes the cycling public is actually quite diverse with the greatest share falling into the lowest income categories. Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation demonstrates that for those with privilege bicycling can be liberatory a lifestyle choice whereas for those surviving at the margins cycling is not a choice but an often oppressive necessity. Ignoring these invisible cyclists skews bicycle improvements towards those with choices. This book argues that it is vital to contextualize bicycling within a broader social justice framework if investments are to serve all street users equitably. Bicycle justice is an inclusionary social movement based on furthering material equity and the recognition that qualitative differences matter. This book illustrates equitable bicycle advocacy policy and planning. In synthesizing the projects of critical cultural studies transportation justice and planning the book reveals the relevance of social justice to public and community-driven investments in cycling. This book will interest professionals advocates academics and students in the fields of transportation planning urban planning community development urban geography sociology and policy. | Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation Biking for all?

All English Accents Matter In Pursuit of Accent Equity Diversity and Inclusion

All English Accents Matter In Pursuit of Accent Equity Diversity and Inclusion

Orelus' valuable study draws on the scholarly work of sociocultural and postcolonial theorists as well as testimonies collected from study participants to explore accentism the systemic form of discrimination against speakers whose accents deviate from a socially constructed norm. Orelus examines the manner in which accents are acquired and the effects of such acquisition on the learning and educational experiences of linguistically and culturally diverse students. He goes on to demonstrate the ways and the degree to which factors such as race class and country of origin are connected with nonstandard accent-based discrimination. Finally this book proposes alternative ways to challenge and counter the accentism that minority groups including linguistically and culturally diverse groups have faced in schools and in society at large. It will be of interest to all of those concerned with linguistic/accent-based prejudice and the experience of those who face it. | All English Accents Matter In Pursuit of Accent Equity Diversity and Inclusion
