Este curso é um mergulho nas engrenagens que movimentam nossas decisões financeiras, muitas vezes impulsionadas pelo piloto automático e pelas complexidades do dia a dia.

In November 2008, John Hattie’s ground-breaking book Visible Learning synthesized the results of more than fifteen years research involving millions of students and represented the biggest ever collection of evidence-based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning.

Intentional Neuroplasticity explores the plasticity of the brain and nervous system, while learning how adversity and trauma impact a student's developing nervous system to affect behaviors—which ultimately changes the way educators approach discipline and engagement.

Discover a way to end constant power struggles with your defiant, oppositional, "impossible" five-to-12-year-old, with the help of leading child psychologist Russell A. Barkley. Dr. Barkley's approach is research based, practical, and doable - and leads to lasting behavior change. Vivid, realistic stories illustrate what the techniques look like in action. Thoroughly revised to include the latest resources and 15 years' worth of research advances, the second edition also reflects Dr. Barkley's ongoing experiences with parents and kids.

Despite being immensely popular - and immensely lucrative - education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity - in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee.

In Teachers We Trust presents a compelling vision, offering practical ideas for educators and school leaders wishing to develop teacher-powered education systems. It reveals why teachers in Finland hold high status, and shows what the country's trust-based school system looks like in action. Pasi Sahlberg and Timothy D. Walker suggest seven key principles for building a culture of trust in schools, from offering clinical training for future teachers to encouraging student agency to fostering a collaborative professionalism among educators.

Academic Ableism brings together disability studies and institutional critique to recognize the ways that disability is composed in and by higher education and rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and center. For too long, argues Jay Timothy Dolmage, disability has been constructed as the antithesis of higher education, often positioned as a distraction, a drain, a problem to be solved.

The True, the Good, and the Beautiful are as timeless a trio of concepts as Western culture has to offer. Since before Socrates, humankind has explored these virtues in an attempt to describe and categorize them. Our definitions of these concepts, moreover, have unceasingly changed over the ages and across continents.

As longtime organizer, writer, and high school teacher Jesse Hagopian argues in Teach Truth, what's at stake is the freedom to tell the truth, the ability of students to understand the world they live in, and the preservation of knowledge systems that expose injustice. By exploring the roots and reach of the censorship movement, Hagopian shows how these efforts to suppress truth serve to uphold racial capitalism and silence the histories that threaten entrenched power.

La paradójica utilidad a la que me refiero no es la misma en cuyo nombre se consideran inútiles los saberes humanísticos y, más en general, todos los saberes que no producen beneficios. En una acepción muy distinta y mucho más amplia, he querido poner en el centro de mis reflexiones la idea de utilidad de aquellos saberes cuyo valor esencial es del todo ajeno a cualquier finalidad utilitarista.

In sechs Betrachtungen geht Descartes der Frage nach, wie wir Wissen begründen können, das unerschütterlich wahr ist. Die Schrift verbindet radikalen Zweifel mit metaphysischen, erkenntnistheoretischen und theologischen Überlegungen – klar, systematisch und bis heute wirkmächtig.

In diesem Essay von 1923 erklärt Freud sein berühmtes Strukturmodell der Psyche: das Es (Triebe), das Ich (Vermittlung) und das Über-Ich (Moral). Dieses Modell beschreibt, wie unser seelisches Erleben von bewussten und unbewussten Kräften geprägt wird – und ist bis heute Basis psychoanalytischer Theorien.

In Die Kunst Recht zu behalten untersucht Arthur Schopenhauer auf scharfsinnige Weise die Techniken, mit denen Menschen in Diskussionen und Debatten versuchen, zu siegen – unabhängig davon, ob sie im Recht sind oder nicht. In 38 kunstvoll formulierten Kunstgriffen entlarvt Schopenhauer die Mechanismen rhetorischer Tricks und manipulativer Argumentationsmuster.

The Therapeutic School Approach offers teachers and school leaders a step-by-step guide to embedding a trauma-informed approach that is tangible, practical, and brings the underpinning science to life in a way that is relatable and relevant. Placing a keen focus on moving towards a more inclusive way of working, it advocates for a culture that puts wellbeing and mental health at the core of teaching and school life.

La educación que conocemos ya no responde a los desafíos del presente ni prepara para el futuro. En este libro, Sonia Díez ofrece un análisis lúcido y accesible sobre por qué no podemos esperar más y cómo afrontar de inmediato la reconversión educativa. Su propuesta no se basa en ideologías ni partidismos, sino en evidencias científicas, experiencias reales y una visión estratégica de país.

In this thoroughly revised and updated edition of his best-selling book, education expert Kim Marshall shows how to break away from the typical and often ineffective evaluation approaches in which principals use infrequent classroom visits or rely on standardized test scores to assess a teacher's performance. Marshall proposes a broader framework for supervision and evaluation that enlists teachers in improving the performance of all students.

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary, even unremarkable, feature of institutional life. Yet diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the "brick wall". On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox.

In kindergartens these days, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards than building blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is becoming more like the rest of school. In Lifelong Kindergarten, learning expert Mitchel Resnick argues for exactly the opposite: the rest of school (even the rest of life) should be more like kindergarten. To thrive in today's fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and act creatively....

An Abundance of Caution is a devastating account of the decision-making process behind one of the worst American policy failures in a century—the extended closures of public schools during the pandemic. David Zweig shows how some of the most trusted members of society repeatedly made fundamental errors in their assessment and presentation of evidence.

We often talk about the challenges of teacher recruitment and retention, about new initiatives and political landscapes, but day in, day out, teachers and schools are delivering exceptional teaching, and most of it is invisible. Ross uncovers, celebrates, and disseminates best practice in teaching. This is supported by case studies and research undertaken by Ross in 10 primary and secondary schools across Great Britain, including a pupil referral unit and private, state and grammar schools, as well as explanations from influential educationalists as to why and how these ideas work.
