Based on a major three-year research project, this book makes clear how
planners have frequently failed to understand real human needs. It also
provides a portrait of the resilience and generosity of spirit which went at
least some way to compensate for the deprivations of inner-city working-class
life.
Written at a time of uncertainty about the implications of the English government's curriculum policies, Knowledge and the Future School engages with the debate between the government and large sections of the educational community. It provides a forward-looking framework for head teachers, their staff and those training teachers to use when developing the curriculum of individual schools in the context of a national curriculum.While explaining recent ideas in the sociology of educational knowledge, the authors draw on Michael Young's earlier research with Johan Muller to distinguish three models of the curriculum in terms of their assumptions about knowledge, referred to in this book as Future 1, Future 2 and Future 3. They link Future 3 to the idea of 'powerful knowledge' for all pupils as a curriculum principle for any school, arguing that the question of knowledge is intimately linked to the issue of social justice and that access to 'powerful knowledge' is a necessary component of the education of all pupils.Knowledge and the Future School offers a new way of thinking about the problems that head teachers, their staff and curriculum designers face. In charting a course for schools that goes beyond current debates, it also provides a perspective that policy makers should not avoid.
"In the 1870s many immigrants from the region of Hedmark, Norway settled in the historic farming community of Concord, Massachusetts. Most of them took jobs as hired farm hands and domestic servants. One of them, a shoe salesman named Ole Thorpe, was also a gifted preacher, with the help of the American Trinitarian Congregational Church in Concord, organized a new congregation that met as the Scandinavian Branch of the American church, with Mr. Thorpe as their pastor. Together with other Norwegian churches from Maine to New Jersey, they formed the Eastern Evangelical Free Church Association, which eventually became part what is now known as the Evangelical Free Church of America. This volume gives an account of the experiences of these immigrant servants as they worked hard to assimilate as American citizens, while still retaining their ethnic and faith traditions. They eventually constructed their own building and became an independent church in 1920. In 1975 they moved from Concord to nearby Acton, MA, and are preparing to celebrate their 100th year as an independent church. The book is divided into three parts: 1) The history of the movement since the early 1870s, 2) A recognition of the many people and organizations involved in creating and supporting the church, and 3) An evaluation of the congregation's successes and failures throughout the years, with a recap of lessons learned. An appendix includes short biographies of each of the charter members and significant friends of the church"-- Provided by publisher
