Welcome to ARACY - Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) Home. Exemplary Teachers of Students in Poverty. Education and poverty exist in a highly contested relationship even in the developed world. On the one hand, educational outcomes seem solidly attached to socio-economic status, and on the other, education is often cited as a way out of poverty. Success at de-coupling poverty from educational outcomes varies across the developed world.
The issues connecting education and poverty are complex, but the question of the successful engagement of students from poor backgrounds involves a complex mix of public policy on poverty, public policy on education, and teacher action. This book focuses on a number of exemplary teachers who demonstrate a set of common pedagogical qualities, assisting them to work productively with persistent classroom challenges in low SES classrooms. Included in the book: Reflections on my Family History, my Youth, and my Professio... : Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology. Editors’ Introduction: The following reminiscence by Gabriele M. Zu Rhein is the seventh autobiography in a series published in the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. These have been solicited from senior members of the neuropathology community who have been noted leaders and contributors to neuroscience and to the American Association of Neuropathologists (AANP) and have a historical perspective of the importance of neuropathology in diagnosis, education, and research.
It is hoped that this series will entertain, enlighten, and present members of the AANP with a better sense of the legacy that we have inherited, as well as reintroduce our respected neuroscientists as humans having interesting lives filled with joys and sorrows and allowing them to present their lives in their own way. Dr. Zu Rhein is a special member of our association, a special scientist and a special person.

Why Your Child Isn't Making the Grade - Alton Maxel James Iv. Theory and Research Pertaining to Families with Adolescents. The National Career Development Association | Family Lifework Activities Can Help Students Make Career and Educational Choices.
By Sally Gelardin In the past, traditions were handed down from families, communities, and religious institutions, but these communication links are evaporating. Parents are busy working (or trying to find work) and often returning to school or other training to enhance employability and reinvent their careers. Both students and their parents seek professional and personal mentors to replace a dwindling family and community connectedness. In addition, international unrest awakens a feeling of vulnerability and need for family, as well as "global family. " Global issues, culture, family, education, and career issues are interlinked. Family Lifework Activities If students have not been given support for the choices that they made in childhood or adolescence, they may be not be able to make career and educational choices as adults.

References Chope, R. Girls Behind Bars: Reclaiming Education in Transformative Spaces - Suniti Sharma. While scholarship on the education of youth behind bars has largely focused on boys, more than one in three youth arrests in the United States is female. Girls Behind Bars sets out to address this imbalance. First, the book offers autobiographies, life-stories, and counter-stories in order to counter simplistic generalizations and empirical prescriptions. Next, the study provides the educational community with critical perspectives that examine empiricist epistemologies and positivist methodologies that label certain groups of girls as delinquent and mark them for punitive and corrective treatment behind bars. Third, the book opens up the discussion on girls' gender, desire, and sexuality by offering a language for these issues absent in educational discourse. Finally, the book supports calls for educators and practitioners in their desire to envision and create transformative spaces that enable young girls behind bars to reclaim their education.
Rethinking Education for Social Cohesion: International Case Studies. The role of family in vocational education and training choices: a case study in Vietnam. Author: Freire, Alexandre Dormeier; Giang, Hong Trinh Abstract: This article examines the role of family in vocational education and training (VET) choices, using primary qualitative data collected in the commune of Hung An, Vietnam. The authors demonstrate that, next to issues relating to income, it is family characteristics that are the predominant influence on an individual's choice of the VET track, usually portrayed as the 'choice of the poor'. The article seeks to investigate family educational roles in an Asian Confucian context in transition, such as Vietnam. To understand the role of family in VET choices, the analytical framework looks at the interactions between children and family by combining the level of familial control over children's choices with the family's degree of 'openness', that is, their ability to mobilise external social resources.

This book comprises a synthesis of current directions in reading research, theory, and practice unified by what has been referred to as the engagement perspective of reading. This perspective guides the research agenda of the National Reading Research Center (NRRC), a consortium of the University of Georgia, University of Maryland, and affiliated scholars. A major goal of the book is to introduce reading researchers to the engagement perspective as defined by the NRRC and to illustrate its potential to integrate the cognitive, social, and motivational dimensions of reading and reading instruction.
Engaged readers are viewed as motivated, strategic, knowledgeable, and socially interactive. They read widely for a variety of purposes and capitalize on situations having potential to extend literacy. The book is organized into four sections representing key components of the NRRC research agenda and the engagement perspective. Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and Community. Education in the Years to Come: What We Can Learn from Alternative Education. I write from the standpoint of one of the ‘leaders’ or ‘organizers’ of a rather loose international coalition of scholars, program developers, and graduate students who are together trying to make good sense of a large group of radically alternative schooling programs.
Most of these programs are at the primary and early secondary level, are indeed producing superior learning results among very disadvantaged young people, and happen to fit in well (certainly much better than the standard schooling model) with what we have now come to know from ‘brain science’ and cognitive psychology about how people (young and older) actually learn best. I do three main things in this chapter. First, I outline briefly the problems with schools-as-we-know-them, and the difficulties in changing them –the ‘bad news’. Second, I identify and analyze what we are learning from many cases of success – the ‘good news’. Routledge Education Arena - Homepage. Www.macalester.edu/educationreform/website/webcontent.htm.

Gathering New Data. Victorian Government Departments hold a large amount of information on how children are faring, as does the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other research bodies. Where possible, these data are used to report against the 150 Victorian Child and Adolescent Monitoring System (VCAMS) indicators (pdf - 94.61kb). However, this gives only a partial picture; initially there were many VCAMS indicators for which data were not readily available. Furthermore, some population groups are not satisfactorily represented within standard surveys and they require tailored approaches if their situation is to be properly understood. To address these data gaps, the Department is undertaking a rolling program of new data collections as outlined below: The Victorian Child Health and Wellbeing SurveyThis was first carried out in 2006and again in 2009. 5000 telephone interviews were carried out each year with parents or carers of Victorian children aged from birth to 12 years.
How did you get my number? 7 Family education environment - Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) Annual statistical report 2010. Children's experiences of early education and their home learning environment are important influences on later educational outcomes (Melhuish et al., 2008). This chapter looks at various factors that make up the educational environment of the home, and how families differ in the manner in which they support children's early learning. Parenting factors considered include the frequency with which the child is read to, which has been linked to better developmental outcomes and greater motivation to learn (Melhuish, 2008). Other parenting factors discussed in this chapter include whether or not parents help with homework in the early years of school, are involved in children's classroom activities or do activities with children at home.
These factors are important in shaping the way a child comes to view his or her school environment, and how motivated about and engaged in learning the child is (Mansour & Martin, 2009). 7.1 Helping with homework 7.2 Involvement in class activities. Education union outraged by VCAL funding cut. Updated Fri 19 Aug 2011, 8:56am AEST The Education Union is outraged by the State Government's decision to cut $12 million in funding from the secondary schools' vocational option.
The union fears that might force schools to scrap the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) for Year 11 and 12 students, which is an alternative to VCE for those who want to go on to apprenticeships, TAFE or work. The union's branch president, Mary Bluett, says small and rural schools will be hardest hit. "This program actually meets the needs of our most vulnerable students who are at risk of dropping out," he said.
"With a cut like this, I think that particularly small schools and rural schools, but a number of schools, will find it very hard to deliver that program. " The Minister for Higher Education, Peter Hall, says there is no reason why schools would have to scrap the vocational option.

How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character - Paul Tough. “Drop the flashcards—grit, character, and curiosity matter even more than cognitive skills. A persuasive wake-up call.” —People Why do some children succeed while others fail? The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs.
But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter more have to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators, who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories—and the stories of the children they are trying to help—Tough reveals how this new knowledge can transform young people’s lives. “I learned so much reading this book and I came away full of hope about how we can make life better for all kinds of kids.” Working with vulnerable groups in social research: dilemmas by default and design.
