CHANGING EDUCATION - MARGARET WARNER A book every educator must read! Changing Education as the name suggests, reflects on the changes in the field of education over the centuries in different countries. It shows how these were often an outcome of educational and scientific research and the changing needs of societies, It then points the way forward to show how teachers today are part of that change, preparing children for the future. Educators in this rapidly changing and developing world need to teach students how to learn for themselves, to understand and apply that learning in the context of the digital age. While some fundamentals do not change, the methodology of education is changing all the time, and teachers need help to change their methods from rote teaching and learning of the many, to personalised learning of the individual. Margaret Warner was trained as a teacher at The Froebel Educational Institute in London. She has taught in London, Oxfordshire and Sydney, Australia. Since 2005 Margaret has worked as an international educational consultant and as an assessor of higher level teaching assistants. She has inspected schools or trained teachers in India, Qatar, Algeria, and Dubai, contributed chapters to books and written articles for educational journals.
A LEAP IN A BLUE MOON - ISHWAR VEDAM
A novel for young adults Jumping from the top of a mound of sand, you would say, is child’s play. And that’s what 11-year old Nidhi is doing one twilight, alone in the neighbourhood making fun of the idioms “a leap in the dark” and “once in a blue moon”. What starts off as an innocuous prank makes the ground slip from under her feet, literally, and she falls into a world called Graria where events and people have tumbled out of a dictionary of idioms. Little does she know that there is someone out there who doesn’t want her to go back… A delightful little novel for young adults
