Skinnell, Ryan – Composition Forum, 2017
Bradbury's central goal in this book is to challenge and redefine intellectualism in ways that recuperate and reinvigorate it as a meaningful concept.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2012
In a political climate where most public schools have reduced or eliminated P.E. entirely in response to budget cuts and increased pressure to improve academic test scores, Naperville High School in Illinois stands out as an anomaly.

Griffiths, Elizabeth – College Teaching, 2010
The central goals of teaching are to educate students about the course material and stimulate their intellectual development more generally. Yet faculty have few avenues to assess teaching effectiveness on these fronts, and students have few opportunities to reflect upon their own growth as scholars and citizens. This article details an exercise…

Salaün, Marie – Current Issues in Language Planning, 2013
The use of the notion of "decolonization", applied to indigenous people's schooling, is somehow misleading.

It also refers to contemporary efforts to address the colonial…

The term coined for the form under consideration here is "affective pedagogy." Affective pedagogy is evident in teachers who: (1) value a discipline (or disciplines) and their associated practices; (2)…
