This research developed the concept of city-based pedagogy to examine learning in the Central Business District (CBD). It explored how educators use interdisciplinary approaches to the city as the focus for learning rather than as the site for application of discipline-based skills and concepts. Importantly, it also explored diverse ways the city acts as pedagogue, providing unplanned and often unexpected learning for middle secondary students involved in one to four week city experience programs. The study used a focused ethnographic approach to understand how educators and students at CityFocus - a distinctive provider of student programs - responded to a socially constructed and politicised city environment. As part of ethnographic data collection, my work used a go-along strategy where the activities of educators and students in different sites around the city provided opportunities for in situ observations and discussions. In processing fieldwork data, concepts from space and place, social learning, place-based pedagogy, and experiential learning informed understanding of student engagement in an environment where they will visit, study, work, or live. In this constantly changing city environment, I found that using the concept of city-based pedagogy widens our thinking about affordances or opportunities in the spaces and places of the city. I demonstrate how treating the city as an interdisciplinary subject using social learning approaches, promotes student engagement with the life and unknown people of the city. Educators who support rather than direct student activity encourage responsibility for learning, assisting the development of agency and independence. As a means of investigating city-based pedagogy, the thesis extended the use of focused ethnography and the go-along technique for data collection. In the broader educational research environment, my thesis contributes to the conversation concerning the needs of middle secondary students. I also offered directions for educational thinking emphasising the use of learning environments outside the school, while meeting school-based learning outcomes. Further, my thesis contributes to the expanding body of research using space and place concepts to investigate educational issues.

Advocates have positioned service-learning as a real-world, real-time opportunity for students to encounter academic knowledge in a meaningful and relevant manner. Service-learning in higher education settings offers a powerful alternative to traditional models of teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to develop links to local institutions, volunteer their time, and create a special bond between the university and the community in which they live. Service-learning has become a very popular alternative to standard courses in higher education and is gaining significant popularity. This book takes a serious look at the unintended consequences and alternative conceptualizations of this mode of learning and explores what it could offer us in the future.

An examination of the growth and development of alternative schools in American society and their role in the public school environment. In Alternative Schools: A Reference Handbook, educator Brenda Edgerton Conley surveys the emerging alternatives to our conventional educational system—a system that is not only costly, but ineffective for many children. In a resource aimed at a broad audience—school administrators, politicians, and, most important, parents—Conley offers both a historical and a present-day perspective on alternative educational programs. What sets the alternative education movement apart, she argues, is its acknowledgment that we all learn differently. That knowledge has given rise to an explosion of exciting alternatives—from open schools to home schooling, from charter schools to church schools. These alternative schools are smaller and less bureaucratic, more responsive to the community, and more receptive to change.

This work examines the fascinating life and art of the African American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988). Jean-Michel Basquiat was barely out of his teens when he rocketed to the center of New York's art scene. He was 27 when he died of a heroin overdose. Always controversial, Basquiat is now established as a major contemporary painter whose unique work continues to enthrall. Jean-Michel Basquiat: A Biography covers the artist's Brooklyn childhood, his teenage years as a homeless graffiti painter, and his rise through the art world. Along with a discussion of his life and work, including his use of Afrocentric themes, the book offers background on related contemporary art movements. Special attention is given to Basquiat's friendship with Keith Haring and collaborations with Andy Warhol. The book also explores Basquiat's difficult relations with gallery owners and other authority figures, his problems with drug use, and his early death. A final chapter covers his continuing relevance and ongoing influence.

Educators and employers are increasingly concerned that too many young people do not have the skills needed to succeed as they enter the world of work and higher education. A well-structured, robust internship can help students build those critical work and life skills. Under the protective umbrella of their school students are able to explore and test out potential careers, develop real life, transferrable skills, apply their knowledge in the real world, strengthen relationships with adults and gain a clearer vision of career and educational opportunities. Until now, not much has been available to guide the internship development process. This book is a resource providing the tools needed to develop a quality internship program — linking classroom learning to the real world. The authors describe practical, field-tested practices, implementation guidelines developed through research, best practices, and all other elements necessary for a quality internship program in high schools and community colleges, from start-up to sustainability. Internships for Today's World is for all those who are concerned today’s young people need a way to develop the skills that will help them succeed in the future.
