Disobedient Teaching: Surviving and Creating Change in the Classroom by Welby Ings

$16.00 NZD

Category: Education | Reading Level: very good

This book is about disobedience. Positive disobedience. Disobedience as a kind of professional behaviour. It shows how teachers can survive and even influence an education system that does staggering damage to potential. More importantly it is an arm around the shoulder of disobedient teachers who trans form people's lives, not by climbing promotion ladders but by operating at the grassroots. 'Disobedient Teaching' tells stories from the chalk face. Some are funny and some are heartbreaking, but they all happen in New Zealand schools. This book says you can reform things in a system that has become obsessed with assessment and tick-box reporting. It shows how the essence of what makes a great teacher is the ability to change educational practices that have been shaped by anxiety, ritual and convention. 'Disobedient Teaching' argues the transformative power of teachers who think and act. ...Show more

Te Mauri Pakeaka: a Journey into the Third Space by Janinka Greenwood and Arnold Manaaki Wilson

$20.00 NZD

Category: Maori & Pacific | Reading Level: very good

This unusual and important book is in the first place a richly illustrated history of an innovative educational programme, developed by Arnold Wilson, that began in the 1970s in Northland and which brought schools and communities onto the marae and involved them in making art. Essentially students were encouraged to tell traditional stories through dancing, singing, drama, carving, painting. The programme was hugely successful both as art education and as away of developing self esteem and a sense of identity and shared values. But it was abolished in 1988 with the changes encompassed in Tomorrow's Schools. The book is therefore also intended to open up discussion for the future about Maori education, the teaching of art, race relations, indeed a whole range of major contemporary issues. It is well written and moving and though not a conventional academic study it will work brilliantly in achieving its purpose. First published August 2006. ...Show more
