As I look back on my professional career of some fifty years and try to summarize the guiding principles in my work, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the protagonists and advocates of the community concept and responsibility for Jewish education, the men who were my mentors, teachers and senior colleagues. Foremost among them was Samson Benderly, under whose influence and guidance I came when I was seventeen and continued to be under his influence during my association with the New York Bureau of Jewish Education for fourteen years. The other men were those who were associated with Dr. Benderly: Isaac B. Berkson, Israel Chipkin, Alexander Dushkin, Emanuel Gamoran, Leo Honor and Albert Schoolman. During my professional work, I had the opportunity to meet and work with this distinguished group of Jewish educators, and their influence on me, personally and via their writings, was çompelling.  相似文献

在厄普代克的长篇小说《农庄》中,“我”和“母亲”的矛盾集中在对农庄的态度和选择妻子的标准上。“母亲”希望“我”能够离开纽约,回到农庄;“我”则劝告“母亲”离开农庄,居住在纽约。“母亲”对农庄的坚守象征着对上帝的守护;“我”对农庄的背弃象征着对上帝的逃离。“母亲”希望“我”选一个诗人作妻子,象征着昨日美国文化对神圣事物的渴望;“我”和“母亲”所喜欢的第一个妻子的离婚,以及和“母亲”所厌恶的第二个妻子的结婚,象征着年轻一代已经找到了上帝的替代物:性爱。  相似文献

The Baltimore Hebrew College

I came to the U.S. from my home town Jerusalem in 1929, when I was 16 years of age. My father had emigrated from Eretz Israel in 1921 because of the severe economic conditions that prevailed after World War I. Gradually, he brought over all the members of his family. He hoped that he and his sons would save enough money in the New World to establish a vital profitable enterprise in Eretz Israel, and the family could then return to its native land. In New York, we lived at first in Brownsville, at that time the most dynamic center of Brooklyn Jewry. A year later, I moved to Baltimore where my father was employed.  相似文献

Developing holistic practice through reflection,action and theorising   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
This article outlines how I, as a primary teacher engaging with a self-study action research process, have come to a deeper understanding of my practice. It explains how I have also come to an understanding of why I work in the way I do; of how this understanding influences my work, and the significance of this new understanding. My work as a teacher frequently includes doing collaborative digital projects with my class. As I engaged in research on my practice, I initially experienced difficulties problematising this work. I struggled to achieve clarity not only with engaging in critical thinking but also with articulating my educational values. I found Mellor’s idea about ‘the struggle’ helpful as he explains how ‘the struggle’ is at the heart of the research process. My new understanding around these collaborative projects emerged in terms of holistic practice; clarifying my ontological values and learning to think critically. I am now generating an educational theory from my practice as I see my work as a process for developing spiritual and holistic approaches to learning and teaching. I conclude by outlining what I perceive to be the significance of my work and its potential implications for education.  相似文献

In this paper I examine how and to what extent various elements of my biography—race, ethnicity, gender, age, social class background, and prior personal and professional experiences—influenced my relationships with students in a graduate course examining the impact of race, gender, and social class on education. My lived experiences as an immigrant woman of color in United States society and my prior professional experiences as an urban teacher are shown to have strengthened my expertise and confidence in teaching this course. Nevertheless, experience confirmed my initial concerns that my race, gender, and social class background negatively influenced some students' perceptions of my teaching competence and position of authority in the classroom. The paper concludes with recommendations for teacher education, including encouraging teachers to continuously engage the question of how their biographies shape their pedagogies and relationships with students, an important undertaking as our schooling populations become more racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse. I also recommend that universities continue to recruit faculty who are not only from racial minority backgrounds but also from varied ethnic and social class backgrounds.  相似文献

Drawing on my experiences as a former classroom teacher making the transition to teacher education, this study examines how my vision of teacher education developed over the course of my first three years as a graduate teaching assistant in a social studies education program in the United States. A qualitative self-study methodology was used to identify and describe sources of tension and growth that contributed to the evolution of my classroom teacher understandings as I forged a distinct vision for teacher education. My vision of teacher education was informed by completing graduate coursework, engaging in the work of teacher education, interacting and collaborating with peers, and studying my practice as it developed and unfolded. Throughout the article, I discuss the potential of self-study methodology to encourage new teacher educators to examine both the features and motivations behind their practice, as well as the effects of this examination on the development of a vision of teacher education.  相似文献

This paper attempts to place the fiscal problems faced by higher education in a broad political economic context so strategies for coping with declining resources can be better evaluated. At the national level, fiscal crisis theories are used to examine broad changes in higher education spending patterns. At the state level, theories of regional variation are used to understand more fully why some states face conditions of greater fiscal authority than others. At a concrete level, the strategies evolving in New York State for allocating resources are explored, and the responses of one institution - the State University of New York at Buffalo - are examined.My thanks to the Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance, School of Education, University of Houston, for support that made this research possible. My thanks to Paul Loucks for his careful reading and commentary on a draft of this paper.  相似文献

My function is to analyze a survey of adult Jewish education and to present briefly some of my own views on the subject. The survey was planned and conducted under the direction of the National Advisory Council on Adult Jewish Education of the American Association for Jewish Education. The Advisory Council includes the directors or representatives of a number of important religious and lay national Jewish agencies which sponsor adult Jewish education. The responses to the questionnaires were analyzed and the Survey Report was written by Rabbi Samuel I. Cohen.  相似文献

I came into Jewish Education through the back door. I had never attended Hebrew Teachers' College nor a Hebrew High School, having received private instruction in Bible and Talmud from two teachers. The first was an unsuccessful real-estate salesman and the second a teacher at a Brooklyn yeshivah. Contrary to all the professional theories, the real-estate man turned Hebrew teacher was more successful with me. He taught me a love of the Bible, especially the major Prophets, which has endured until today and has informed my philosophy of life. I was not as zealous a student as he was a teacher. Quite often he had to go a block or two from our house to “snatch” me away by a crook of the finger from a ball-game. Once seated with him, his love of the Bible transmitted itself to me and he would make me learn chapters by heart and as though I were Isaiah addressing the people of Jerusalem.  相似文献

The records of the New York City Police Department and the New York State Department of Correction would show that my career of crime began at fifteen when I was committed to the Elmira Reformatory for robbing a Tenth Avenue grocery store. These records are slightly inaccurate. My underworld career really began four years earlier, at the tender age of eleven, when I “turned off” a Ninth Avenue cigar store for a load of cigarettes and candy and an armful of Nick Carter and Old Sleuth magazines. I have indelible memories of that blood-and-thunder fiction which furnished me with patterns for my adolescent exploits. Moreover, it convinced me that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were sissies compared to Jesse James, “High Card Mike,” and the Younger Brothers. Safe cracking and train robbery, it also convinced me, was a better racket than statesmanship.  相似文献

In this essay I explore a number of questions about purposes and methods in science education research prompted by my reading of Wesley Pitts’ ethnographic study of interactions among four students and their teacher in a chemistry classroom in the Bronx, New York City. I commence three ‘lines of flight’ (small acts of Deleuzo-Guattarian deterritorialization) that depart from the conceptual territory regulated by science education’s dominant systems of signification and make new connections within and beyond that territory. I offer neither a comprehensive review nor a thorough critique of Wesley’s paper but, rather, suggest some alternative directions for science education research in the genre he exemplifies.  相似文献

My entry into the field of Jewish education began during my teen years. Basically, it took the form of group work. Some of my friends and I organized a Boys' Club in one of the larger synagogues of Brownsville. We were students at Yeshivat Rabbi Chaim Berlin and wanted to share our spiritual values and ideals with others. Besides Sabbath and Holiday services, we conducted a series of classes in Hebrew, Tanach, and history. On special occasions — especially Simchat Torah — we were able to attract hundreds of boys. Many of them became observant Jews throughout their lives.  相似文献

In a series of three papers, I examine the identity development of three Chinese women teachers as they moved back and forth between Eastern and Western cultures and languages amid the rapidly changing events of the last four decades. This life-based narrative inquiry, situated between non-fiction, fiction, and academic discourses opens up possibilities for establishing a link between cross-cultural lives and identities, cross-cultural teacher education, and curriculum studies in multi-cultural contexts. In this third paper, I explore the three teachers' lives in the North American academy, particularly my own intellectual development at the doctoral studies level. I trace the dynamics of the interaction with my dissertation supervisor as he and I struggled to find ways for me to think in an inquiry-oriented way. I reach back to my upbringing to show how a Chinese spirit of knowing in cross-cultural teaching and curriculum-making was disruptive with the inquiry-oriented spirit of my cross-cultural studies. My story is complicated by the fact that I was trying to learn to think narratively - a way of thinking still comparatively new in the academy.  相似文献

… My mother was, in fact, the teacher that started my education, and even before I first went to school, she had already taught me to recite poems of the T'ang and the Sung. I received my first schooling when I was four-and-a-half years old. There was a family school in my home that accepted mostly people from our own family, with the exception of one or two children of some relatives. The number of pupils was 10 or 12, and though it was a very small school, it included a variety of grades comprising college, middle school, primary school, and even kindergarten students….  相似文献

While supervising a student teacher in school, an incident occurred that highlighted a contradiction between my practice and my beliefs and prompted me to question why I do not always live the values I profess. The aim of this article is to investigate how self-study can help me to understand the complex and context-based situations of my practice. I draw on the work of other teacher educators to examine the potential of self-study to improve my practice. Through this exploration I have begun to transform the way that I comprehend teaching and learning in teacher education. I identify several tensions and challenges in implementing the methodology within my professional context. I believe that self-study can help us in our roles as teacher educators to develop more reflexive self-awareness and to problematize taken-for-granted assumptions relevant to our contexts of practice.  相似文献

This article examines my three-year journey developing a personal pedagogy of teacher education. As an autobiographical self-study, nodal moments are revealed that raise and reflect the tensions I experienced and the challenges I encountered. These included developing an awareness of my incomplete understandings of key components of teacher education, particularly the importance of fostering critical reflection. Acknowledgement of the benefits and complexities of first facilitating and later assessing reflective practice followed next. My transformation from a confident school-board resource teacher to an uncertain teacher educator, who reiteratively questions her practices as she comes to understand and teach to promote conceptual change, resonates with the uncertain terrain of teacher education. I explore the implications of this self-study by discussing the need for support, suggesting that teacher educators, particularly part-time instructors, be provided with opportunities to examine their teacher education beliefs. I recommend self-study groups as vehicles for this support.  相似文献

For some eighty years, Bureaus of Jewish Education, working under a variety of names, have served the cause of Jewish education and the Jewish community. From time to time, as have all agencies of the Jewish community, the Bureaus have had to rethink their roles. Because of radical shifts in the way Jews live their lives, the nature of Jewish community, and the emergence of Jewish education as a priority, at least, in the rhetoric of Jewish life, this would appear to be such a moment. In doing so, agencies have to understand the questions and problems that are specific to their times and also revisit old questions to find new answers. An example of the former is what happens to the advocacy role of the bureau when the Federation, at least rhetorically, adopts Jewish education as a priority. An old question that, perhaps, requires new answers is “What ought to be the relationship between Bureaus of Jewish Education and denominational movements?” In this article, I wish to turn my attention to this question, and, perhaps, provide some basis for formulating policy and ideas about practice. My response cannot help but be affected by my experience as Director of the Department of Education of The United Synagogue of America but it should not be taken as the official position of The United Synagogue.  相似文献

The purpose of this article is to present the conclusions of a Deweyan-oriented constructivist educator concerning what I believe to be a number of crucial dysfunctional elements embedded in the very structure of the traditional teacher education program. My experience as a teacher educator has led me to conclude that certain time-honored aspects of traditionally structured teacher education, so long entrenched that they are virtually invisible to many of the participants, are nevertheless largely inappropriate to creating the kind of activity rich, in-depth, personalized instruction that constructivist educators believe to be essential to a quality educational experience. My assumption is that if our future teachers are not going to teach as they were taught by many of their own primary and secondary teachers, teacher education courses must not only present the bodies of knowledge needed by future teachers to assume responsible positions as professionals, they must also consistently model the kinds of pedagogical practices that are conducive to active, in-depth learning. However, the overall structure-in particular the structuring of time-within which professors and students function in a traditional teacher education program, and which almost everyone (at least in my experience) seems to accept unquestioningly, makes this virtually impossible. It is my contention that unless such programs are profoundly restructured in ways that better facilitate preservice teachers' construction of knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to effective teaching, progressive school reform in the twenty-first century will be the likely casualty.  相似文献
