The framework illustrates these three potentially overlapping roles by mapping the complex educational contexts of conflict-affected societies and considering how textbooks, learning materials, and education systems more broadly may simultaneously operate within these various roles. Country case studies from Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East are used to analyze primary and secondary school textbook development, content, and application from a variety of approaches that articulate conflict as protracted and/or socio-political violence. The breadth of case studies shows how conflict discourse circulates in educational systems and materials in a wide range of contexts, indicatingthat the complexity of the relationship between textbooks and conflict is not unique to one culture, geographic region, or type of conflict. ![]() Free Download Funmi Olonisakin, "Teaching Global Leadership in Higher Education: Leadership Across Cultures" English | ISBN: 3031663829 | 2024 | 152 pages | EPUB | 319 KB This book answers a need for pedagogic guidance and instruction in designing, implementing and evaluating global leadership as an academic subject. The book understands global leadership as a social practice and as a comparative subject, analysing how leadership is conceived of and practised in different countries and cultures. At the same time, the authors see global leadership from a 'grand challenges' perspective, engaging with the key issues of the age, some of which are identified through the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. By these means, the book proposes a distinctive global leadership curriculum with potential to aggregate and unify different approaches to the subject. The book provides the conceptual underpinning, the multicultural perspective and the practical guidance to help universities worldwide in designing and developing curricula in global leadership, a subject of increasing interest in the twenty-first century as the geopolitical, even existential challenges of the age require both research and practice which transcends the boundaries of both nations and of academic disciplines. The book will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of educational development and pedagogy. ![]() Free Download Teaching English Language Learners K-12 : A Quick-Start Guide for the New Teacher By Jerry Jesness 2004 | 177 Pages | ISBN: 0761931872 | EPUB | 1 MB "The valuable classroom experience in the author′s background and a genuine sensitivity for his students′ needs are evident on every page of clear prose.
