Book Description
How does one spread a successful educational reform? The essays here recount the authors?' experiences with the scale-up process. Among their lessons are the importance of building the capacity to implement and sustain the reforms, adjusting for local culture and policy, ensuring quality control, providing the necessary infrastructure, and fostering a sense of ownership. The process is iterative and complex and requires cooperation among many actors who must ensure that the results align with goals.

Book Description
Failing Gloriously and Other Essays documents Shawn Graham's odyssey through the digital humanities and digital archaeology against the backdrop of the 21st-century university. At turns hilarious, depressing, and inspiring, Graham's book presents a contemporary take on the academic memoir, but rather than celebrating the victories, he reflects on the failures and considers their impact on his intellectual and professional development. These aren't heroic tales of overcoming odds or paeans to failure as evidence for a macho willingness to take risks. They're honest lessons laced with a genuine humility that encourages us to think about making it safer for ourselves and others to fail.A foreword from Eric Kansa and an afterword by Neha Gupta engage the lessons of Failing Gloriously and consider the role of failure in digital archaeology, the humanities, and social sciences.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.

Book Description
En el contexto educativo la convivencia escolar, el bienestar emocional y la gestión de conflictos constituyen tres pilares básicos para el desarrollo integral del alumnado de los primeros años de escolaridad. La diversidad cultural, las diferentes realidades sociales y las variadas necesidades educativas plantean un reto significativo para los docentes y las comunidades escolares. Este libro aborda estos desafíos desde una perspectiva teórica y práctica, proporcionando herramientas y estrategias que faciliten una convivencia armoniosa y un ambiente educativo seguro e inclusivo. El primer capítulo, titulado «Conceptos y fundamentos de la convivencia escolar, el bienestar y la gestión de conflictos», establece las bases conceptuales y normativas que sustentan la convivencia en los centros educativos. Aquí se exploran las diferentes normativas y regulaciones que guían las políticas de convivencia en el ámbito escolar, así como los principios éticos y pedagógicos que deben orientar las interacciones entre los miembros de la comunidad educativa. Este capítulo también destaca la importancia de una convivencia positiva como elemento esencial para el éxito académico y el desarrollo personal del alumnado. En el segundo capítulo, «Convivencia, bienestar y gestión de los conflictos en el ámbito educativo», se profundiza en la elaboración y aplicación de los planes de convivencia escolar. Se detalla cómo estos planes deben ser diseñados y ejecutados, incluyendo la participación de todos los actores involucrados: docentes, alumnado, familias y la comunidad en general. El capítulo también destaca el papel del coordinador de bienestar y protección, un profesional encargado de velar por un entorno seguro y propicio para el aprendizaje, así como las funciones de las familias y la comunidad en el fomento de una convivencia pacífica y respetuosa. El tercer capítulo, «Evaluación e intervención en la convivencia escolar, el bienestar y la gestión de conflictos», presenta una serie de programas, estrategias y recursos prácticos que han demostrado ser efectivos en la promoción de la convivencia y la resolución de conflictos. Aquí se incluyen actividades lúdicas, rincones temáticos y ejercicios de reflexión diseñados para desarrollar en el alumnado competencias de comunicación e interacción y habilidades sociales. Además, se destacan los recursos escolares y comunitarios que pueden ser aprovechados para enriquecer el entorno educativo y fortalecer los lazos entre la escuela y la comunidad. Al final de este libro, se incluyen los anexos «Juego de Cartas de los Conflictos» y «Ruedas de solución de conflictos». Este juego está diseñado para proporcionar una herramienta interactiva para resolver conflictos en las aulas de manera lúdica y educativa. A través de diferentes escenarios, el alumnado aprende a identificar, enfrentar y resolver conflictos, fomentando habilidades sociales como la empatía, la negociación y el respeto mutuo. A lo largo de este libro, se proporciona una visión integral que combina teoría y práctica, con el objetivo de ofrecer a los educadores una guía completa para abordar los retos de la convivencia escolar. Cada capítulo está diseñado para ser una herramienta útil y accesible, que permita a estudiantes de grado, docentes y otros profesionales de la educación implementar estrategias efectivas y sostenibles en sus contextos específicos. En suma, este libro no solo busca proporcionar conocimientos y recursos, sino también inspirar un compromiso profundo con la creación de ambientes escolares más justos, inclusivos y pacíficos. La educación desempeña un papel fundamental en la formación de ciudadanos empáticos, respetuosos y capaces de convivir en armonía. Este es el propósito último de esta obra: contribuir a la construcción de una sociedad mejor, comenzando por nuestras escuelas.
