Education Policy Analysis Archives, 23(99), http://dx.doi.org/10.14507/epaa.v23.2050 Este artículo forma parte del número especial Etnografía y sociolingüística de la interacción editado por Ana Inés Heras y Virginia Unamuno. Abstract: Based on a school ethnography carried out in an English primary school in the last years of New Labour Government, this paper examines the processes and dynamics involved in the introduction of a cooperative learning method as part of the Success for All Literacy Program, which was being implemented in the school for the first time. I discuss the difficulties and resistances showed by children’s interactions and teachers’ declarations during the development of the program as the sign of competing agendas within the school and within the educational policy as well. They also manifest the deep penetration of a model of participation and learning that suits the neoliberal educational policy embraced by the British governments since the Education Reform Act in 1988 up to the present time. The establishment of a culture of performativity and accountability is revealed in children’s behaviour during cooperative tasks as they tend to work in a competition rather than in a cooperation scheme and perceive their peers more as threats to their individual performance than as a support in their learning process.

I am going to be completely honest in this article, I am going to give you some ad- vice I wish I had when I was going through high school. Many people may take offense or see this as nonsense but I do not care. I am going to tell you the truth plainly and simply. High school is very important as it determines your possible future, but you should not treat it as the be all end all. In the years to come you will hear many teachers say how high school is preparing you for the Editor-In-Chief real world and it is true. Since high school is preparation for the real world then it would make sense for Yenifer Rubio you to treat it as such, make mistakes, practice, and try out different things. Do not treat high school like Editors a stressful job where everything has to be a certain way.

UNLEARNING RACISM: A CANDID SELF-STUDY BY A EUROPEAN AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL LEADER A Dissertation Presented by Edorah J. Frazer to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education Specializing in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies May 2008 ABSTRACT Racism damages all of us. It degrades the lives of some, it diminishes the integrity of others, and it saps our resources and threatens our peace as a nation. Racism in the United States takes place on multiple levels: within and between individuals, in our cultural milieu, and in our social institutions. In this dissertation, I describe ways in which I have both encountered and perpetrated racism personally and professionally as an educator. I then explore ways in which racism can be unlearned by individuals and dismantled institutionally, particularly in the arena of education, so that our nation can be liberated from this most crippling disease. As a European American woman raised in affluence, my story is about unearned privilege on several levels, and my research asks the question of what I can responsibly do about that.

  • From Collapse to Relationality Improv: High School Stories in Motion for Justice
    Alberta Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 63.1, Spring 2017, 43-62 From Collapse to Relationality Improv: High School Stories in Motion for Justice Morgan Gardner1, Kate Scarth2 1 Memorial University, 2 Dalhousie University Youth live storied lives (made up of intersecting stories of school, home, peers, and other aspects of lived experience). Therefore, the ways in which youth construct and tell their high school stories are vital for understanding their experiences as first authors (primary creators, constructors, and tellers of their own stories) and protagonists (as active agents of these stories). This paper examines the physical and metaphorical movements that a research team experienced when constructing and sharing their high school narratives related to youth engagement in social justice educational change. Team members went from engaging restricted movements (which we, authors, have called collapse, truncation, or formulaic motions) to expanded motions (designated relationality improv, malleable formations, and the languages of the arts). This transformation reflected members becoming first authors of and meaningful protagonists in their high school stories of social justice and democratic educational change. For educators and researchers striving to support youth voice and engagement in educational change, an emphasis on movement (within youths’ story construction and telling processes) affords valuable openings to support youth in identifying and claiming their agency, engagement and change-making in high school. Les jeunes vivent des vies bien remplies, composées de récits qui s’entrecroisent et qui touchent l’école, le foyer, les pairs et d’autres aspects de leur vécu. Les façons dont les jeunes construisent et racontent leurs histoires à l’école secondaire sont donc des éléments essentiels pour comprendre leurs expériences de premiers auteurs (créateurs principaux, constructeurs et raconteurs de leurs propres histoires) et de protagonistes (agents actifs de ces récits).
