Описание:

Teachers’ unions are the organizations responsible for safeguarding the conditions of teachers’ employment. Union supporters claim strong synergies between teachers’ interests and students’ interests, but critics of unions insist that the stance of teachers in collective bargaining may disadvantage students as unions reduce the power of administrators to manage, remove, reward or retain excellent teachers.

In A Collective Pursuit, Lesley Laveryunpacks how teachers’ unions today are fighting for contracts that allow them to earn a decent living and build “schools all students deserve.” She explains the form and function of the nation’s largest teachers’ unions. Lavery then explores unionization campaigns in the Twin Cities charter schools. A Collective Pursuit also examines teacher strikes and contract negotiations, school finance and finance reform, and district and union attempts to address racial achievement gaps, to provide a context for understanding the economic, political, and demographic forces that inspire teachers to improve conditions for students.

A Collective Pursuit emphasizes that while teachers’ unions serve a traditional, economic role, they also provide a vast array of valuable services to students, educators, parents, and community members.

Описание: Duck decoys represent a deep-seated interest in nature that has resulted - in North America - in the conservation of its natural wetlands. Yet decoys were used by Australian Aborigines and have since evolved over the millennia on the driest of all inhabited continents. Such a unique legacy, in all its forms and with all its history, offers a potential value that can enhance global conservation - by way of this extraordinary craft art. The origins of the duck decoy are thus attributed to the Australian Aborigines, beginning about 20,000 years ago. Ancient bark discs were the first material form of duck decoy; the modern form in Australia derived some 165 years ago out of Scandinavia in company with early European settlers. Duck decoys and callers in Australia have evolved through hand-made, mass-produced and decorative styles - coinciding with shifts in active interest in waterfowl from food to later recreational pursuits to a now-increasing value as art and other imagery. This long history, representing a range of appealing waterfowl species unique to this continent, is an essential part of the global duck decoy legacy and is documented in detail for the first time in this book. Selected examples of the broad collections of enduring Australian decoys and callers are illustrated here, including reference to the leading carvers and collectors working in this most colourful biogeographic realm.
