  • Unconditional Parenting
    Unconditional Parenting MOVING FROM REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS TO LOVE AND REASON Alfie Kohn ATRIA BOOKS NEW YORK LONDON TORONTO SYDNEY Praise for Alfie Kohn and Unconditional Parenting “Unconditional Parenting is going to make you think—hard—about the type of relationship you want to have with your child, about your parenting priorities, and about how to avoid many of the mistakes of our predecessors. It’s what we’ve come to expect from Alfie Kohn, and this is unquestionably one of his most persuasive, important works. For your sake and your child’s . read it!” —Ross W. Greene, author of The Explosive Child “Witty and thought-provoking. This lively book will surely rile parents who want to be boss. Those seeking alternative methods of raising confident, well-loved children, however, will warmly embrace Kohn’s message.” —Publishers Weekly “This book underscores an important parenting principle: Discipline is more about having the right relationship with your child than having the right techniques.” —William Sears, The Baby Book and The Discipline Book “I found myself wanting to underline every other sentence of Uncon- ditional Parenting, which is different from—and a refreshing challenge to—most other books about raising children. It’s entertaining enough so that you can read it quickly, but it’s so packed with thought- provoking ideas that you’ll want to take your time.” —Barbara Coloroso, author of Kids Are Worth It! “A gift to parents! Armed with voluminous research, Alfie Kohn exposes the harm inherent in widely accepted disciplinary practices and offers a variety of powerful alternatives that make it possible for children to become their most thoughtful, caring, responsible selves.” —Adele Faber, author of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk “Alfie Kohn holds a crucial position in the American dialogue on par- enting.

  • A Critical Pedagogy of Resistance TRANSGRESSIONS: CULTURAL STUDIES and EDUCATION
    A Critical Pedagogy of Resistance TRANSGRESSIONS: CULTURAL STUDIES AND EDUCATION Series Editor: Shirley R. Steinberg, University of Calgary, Canada Founding Editor: Joe L. Kincheloe (1950–2008) The Paulo and Nita Freire International Project for Critical Pedagogy Editorial Board Jon Austin, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Norman Denzin, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, USA Rhonda Hammer, University of California Los Angeles, USA Nikos Metallinos, Concordia University, Canada Christine Quail, McMaster University, Canada This book series is dedicated to the radical love and actions of Paulo Freire, Jesus “Pato” Gomez, and Joe L. Kincheloe. TRANSGRESSIONS: CULTURAL STUDIES AND EDUCATION Cultural studies provides an analytical toolbox for both making sense of educational practice and extending the insights of educational professionals into their labors. In this context Transgressions: Cultural Studies and Education provides a collection of books in the domain that specify this assertion. Crafted for an audience of teachers, teacher educators, scholars and students of cultural studies and others interested in cultural studies and pedagogy, the series documents both the possibilities of and the controversies surrounding the intersection of cultural studies and education. The editors and the authors of this series do not assume that the interaction of cultural studies and education devalues other types of knowledge and analytical forms. Rather the intersection of these knowledge disciplines offers a rejuvenating, optimistic, and positive perspective on education and educational institutions. Some might describe its contribution as democratic, emancipatory, and transformative. The editors and authors maintain that cultural studies helps free educators from sterile, monolithic analyses that have for too long undermined efforts to think of educational practices by providing other words, new languages, and fresh metaphors.

  • Social Emotional Learning in the Music Classroom: a Cross-Case Analysis of Teacher Experiences in the Rock and Roll Academy
    SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM: A CROSS-CASE ANALYSIS OF TEACHER EXPERIENCES IN THE ROCK AND ROLL ACADEMY by PAUL ATKINSON STEPHEN TOMLINSON, COMMITTEE CHAIR JOHN DANTZLER AARON KUNTZ DOUGLAS MCKNIGHT JOHN PETROVIC A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership Policy, and Technology Studies in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2015 Copyright Paul Atkinson 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of teachers in the Rock and Roll Academy, a music program designed to meet social emotional learning (SEL) objectives. This endeavor was undertaken to fill the existing research gap related to understanding the unique challenges and dynamics experienced by teachers within a commonly designed SEL environment. It employed a qualitative case study approach, providing individual and cross case analyses based on the analysis of text collected through field observations and multiple interviews of five teacher participants who trained for and teach within a Rock and Roll Academy program. Findings indicate that prior to teaching RRA, participants possessed a bias for traditional, teacher-centered educational practices. Additionally, findings identified value related to teacher preparation and training. Within the area of teacher activity, RRA evidence shows teachers engage in student-centered pedagogy, and promote social engagement within the classroom. Last, in the area of teacher outlook, research findings show teachers demonstrate program commitment and commonly identify developing SEL focus. Information contained within this study may be helpful to those who teach a classroom-based SEL program.
