20岁前读的书

20岁前"应读的书"其实是没有的,人的背景、志向和生活轨迹差别极大,应读什么书或读什么书适合自己,要依实践来定。我所能谈的,不过是20岁前我读的书中,哪些让我印象深一些,或者后来读的哪些书曾让我感慨"如果20岁前能够读到就好"。     

Utilizing parents for paraprofessional intervention

This study was based on research which examined paraprofessional intervention in an urban community having large numbers of educationally and socially disadvantaged children and disenchanted parents. Establishment of paraprofessional corps has grown rapidly in the past decade and is accelerating as a strategy for improving the quality of education in urban communities. This development incorporated many concepts: (1) new careers, (2) growth of educational technology, (3) cultural assimilation and diversity, (4) team teaching, (5) personal improvement of teacher aides, (6) parents as partners (based on action theorists' postulations as a theoretical frame for the study), and (7) home and school focus on achievement—all of which yield high productivity in the community-education arena inexpensively to insufficient school budgets and strategically to teaching-learning demands for quality education.     

Books for Babies means books for parents too: the benefits of situating the earliest stages of literacy in the framework of the wider community

This paper describes some findings from the Books for Babies project, a central strand of Derbyshire’s county‐wide literacy initiative, Read On – Write Away! (ROWA!). The original project, initiated by the Derbyshire Libraries and Heritage Service in 1995 was extended through ROWA! by being incorporated into wider ranging community literacy provision. This paper describes preliminary evidence that indicates that there are additional benefits for other family group members when a Book Start project includes follow‐up activities and is connected to wider ranging community literacy initiatives.
