This response to Mitchell and Mueller's "A philosophical analysis of David Orr's theory of ecological literacy" comments on their critique of Orr's use of the phrase "ecological crisis" and what I perceive as their conflicting views of "crisis."

Guo, Shibao – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2010
This commentary article focuses on the theme of "migration and communities." It raises a number of important concerns inherent in the report. The report mistakenly adopts the "sameness" approach, thus negating Britain's unprecedented super-diversity that is the result of increasing migration. It wrongly assumes that all migrants are the same and…

Syed, Syraj; Poston-Escue, Carlee – Florida Journal of Educational Administration & Policy, 2009
The benefits of developing learning communities or communities of practice to optimize the learning experiences of education professionals has been well documented in the recent research literature.

Sears, Robin R. – Democracy & Education, 2013
I apply the concept of unalienated recognition as a form of democratic exchange, introduced by Rheingold (2012), to a different educational setting. Through a case study of the School for Field Studies international environmental programs, that are, like Rheingold's study school, field based and community centered, I explore the hypothesis…

Williams, Sean D. – Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, 2010
This article argues that in spite of some attempts to expand the diversity of approaches in Technical Communication, the field remains rooted in an expedient, managerial, techno-rational discourse, where discourse is understood as the values that guide research, practice, and teaching. The article draws on approaches from Communication Studies,…

Bernard-Donals, Michael – College English, 2010
The position of the excluded other, it seems to the author, is the position that has characterized Jews since antiquity: exiled from the nation and dispersed to other nations, Jewish participation in civic life has been defined, even in modernity, by its marginalization and precariousness. The Jew, in other words, provides a salient example of the…

O'Grady, Kevin – Educational Action Research, 2011
This article's point of departure is that the nature and merits of both action research and communities of practice are contested: for example, Martyn Hammersley has argued that action research may be a contradiction in terms and that communities of practice may mean the end of educational research as a discrete discipline. In response to his…

Bieler, Deborah – Educational Leadership, 2012
If veteran teachers made a list of resolutions for what they'd do next school year to better support new teachers in their schools, what actions and approaches should top those lists? The question has high stakes because half of all new teachers leave the profession within the first five years. Researchers have identified "support from the…

The author and other teaching faculty take pride in their ability to write creative and challenging examination questions. Their self-assessment is based on experience and their knowledge of their subject and discipline.

van der Meulen, Emily – Qualitative Report, 2011
Graduate students commonly experience isolation and estrangement when conducting their final research projects, which can contribute to difficulties in completion.

Smith, Pete; Rust, Chris – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2011

Kwak, Duck-Joo – Educational Theory, 2010
In this essay Duck-Joo Kwak explores a moral perfectionist approach to citizenship education, which is distinct from liberal and communitarian models. One of educational challenges to this approach is how to cultivate our students' sense of membership, which is shaped by a thick sense of the good life, while being not merely compatible with but…
