Creating and Promoting Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries: Tools and Tips For Practitioners is the sequel to Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries: Principles, Programs, and People. On the one hand, Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries focuses on the information needs and the developmental and psychological characteristics of diverse library users of all ages. It endorses the use of ILI to promote lifelong learning in public libraries, both by borrowing techniques from academic and school libraries and by building on existing public library traditions of programming and outreach. This book also compares lifelong learning in public libraries to informal and nonformal education in museums, community organizations and agencies, places of worship, and other organizations. In addition, Lifelong Learnng in Public Libraries describes basic steps that librarians can execute in order to get started. On the other hand, Creating and Promoting Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries focuses much more on how public librarians can specifically plan and implement their instruction with chapters on planning for instruction, using teaching methodologies, teaching with and about technology, and bringing ILI together with more traditional public library services, programming, and activities, such as reference and Readers’ Advisory services, bibliotherapy, and cultural and literacy programming. Changes in ILI standards and comparisons of ILI with basic reading, media, digital, and cultural literacies are also described. Both books together should act as basic manuals for public librarians who promote lifelong learning. Creating and Promoting Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries also have helpful teaching hints for all librarians and other professionals who teach in a variety of settings.

Service learning presents an experiential learning opportunity, particularly for students at higher education institutions. At the same time, it allows the university to engage communities and apply its considerable resources addressing community needs. This book, Educating for Empathy: Service Learning in Public Policy Education, will introduce readers to the concept of service learning and how it can be applied to higher education. While service learning has been recognized as a useful pedagogical tool that can enhance students' learning experience, the application and practice of service learning in Singapore has been limited.The book will also provide a broad overview of service learning in the context of a service learning initiative that was conducted by the author under Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s Public Policy & Global Affairs Programme, as well as the author's experience as NTU's inaugural Community Research Fellow. It will cover the policy, pedagogical, and socio-political aspects of service learning and include insights from students and stakeholders. In doing so, it aims to provide valuable insights into the role of service learning as a driver of civic education and grassroots volunteerism. The book will also provide both education and policy professionals a greater understanding of how their work can intersect, and provide students with a highly rewarding learning experience.

Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries demonstrates that public librarians can promote learning by combining the elements of Information Literacy Instruction (ILI) with traditional practices of public libraries. This approach contributes to the information enfranchisement of patrons and enhances the fulfillment of the traditional goals and purposes of libraries. Donna L. Gilton provides background on ILI and current developments in public library instruction and also examines educational theories and practices derived from the fields of behaviorism, cognitive psychology, constructivism, and educational humanism. Additional chapters delve into practices developed to deal with diverse groups and translate the theories and practices that have been outlined into a well-coordinated plan. The final chapters survey the role of libraries as cultural institutions. This book introduces the field of ILI to public librarians in the context of their own traditions and shows the unique ways that ILI can be implemented in public library settings. It encourages librarians to rethink practices to incorporate the principles of ILI and will enable public librarians to extend and enrich their instruction on information use. Lifelong Learning in Public Libraries is a valuable resource for librarians, educators, and leaders of public organizations.

Many that pursue a career in public service do so because they have a passion for their communities and want to pursue solutions to vexing challenges in society. As a result, instructors teaching public service, administration, and policy courses are challenged to incorporate a range of community engagement practices into their classes to allow students to explore their passion in greater depth, while also developing skills to operate in a dynamic governance environment. This pedagogical text explores the variety of ways in which students can become more engaged throughout the public service curriculum. Engaged Learning in the Public Service Classroom introduces a wide range of activities, practices, and behaviors involving students in learning by exploring real-world contexts and issues. Utilizing the tools and concrete examples in the book, students are encouraged to actively explore, experiment, evaluate, and reflect on practical challenges, helping to foster their critical thinking and motivating them to learn. Considering the numerous methods of engaged learning, the editors offer a framework for understanding and implementing different types of engaged learning practices, including Field of Practice, Community as Laboratory, and Service Learning, exploring the benefits and practical considerations of each. To maximize the book’s utility and to provide faculty with the best opportunity for successful implementation, the final section of the book focuses on anticipating and overcoming possible challenges when implementing engaged learning. This innovative new book is designed specifically to help support current and future instructors and faculty in the disciplines of public affairs, public administration, and public policy, including graduate students.

The publication "Private Learning, Public Needs" looks at the devastating effects neoliberal globalization continues to have on education, schooling, and literacy development in the United States. The book is divided in three parts. Part I "Neoliberal Globalization and the Question of Adult Literacy Education" is broken into two chapers. Chapter one is a study of neoleberalism and its relationship to globalization. Specially, the changing role of the state is examined in terms that bring attention to globalization's capacity to ignore nation-state borders, especially in the context of finance and culture. The role of the state is discussed in light of its influcence on local agencies and on local instiutions. Of issue is the interiorization of neoliberal globalization at the material levels of educaional life, namely curriculum standard and development. Through the imposition of certain kinds of standards, teacher education programs must make some hard decisions about wheter they will, on the one hand, satisfy the needs manufactured by neolibral interests as they manifest themelves in curricular and pedagogic mandates, or, on the other, will use their autority to challenge and confront that which they know is detrimental to democratic principles and good teaching practices. Chapter two examines how neoliberal interests have impeded the goals of adult literacy education. Part II "The Work of Critical Theory in a Neoliberal Age" takes up the work of two prominent cirtical theorists in and beyond education: Erich Fromm and Paulo Freire. Chapter three discusses Fromm's important alternative to top-down discourses of power and authority. In chapter four, Freire's work in Sâo Paulo as Secretry of Education is studied for what it can teach us about the importance an possibility of structural transformations.

This current Research Topic does not derive directly from Boyer’s Model of Scholarship, but nonetheless represents a well-timed exploration and example of where higher education has progressed in bringing the innovative, integrative conceptualization of higher education scholarship and practice laid out by Boyer, to realization through the growing arena of undergraduate public health programs. At the same time, the authors included here were invited to specifically address a second arena of scholarly practice associated with additional elements of Boyer’s legacy, effective High-Impact Practices (HIPs) - practices that engage students, faculty and often broader communities in integrative learning that connect academic and extra-academic learning environments. Undergraduate public health programs are perfectly positioned to provide a framework for integrated learning through High-Impact Practices. Such practices encompass not only the essential learning outcomes that employers continue to demand – critical thinking, working with diverse others, written and oral communications, ethics, analysis, etc. – but also a curriculum that is scaffolded and replete with opportunities to practice and enhance performance and application of knowledge and abilities to important personal, social and global challenges and needs.

This book critically examines some of the major trends in the development of higher education. It demonstrates how in the context of liberalisation, globalisation and marketisation, the crisis in higher education has assumed different dimensions in all advanced and emerging societies. The author shows how the state tends to slowly withdraw from the responsibility of higher education, including in the arena of policy-making, or simply adopts a policy of laissez-faire (of non-involvement) which helps in the rapid unbridled growth of private sector in higher education. The notion of higher education as a public good is under serious contestation in current times. The book argues for the need to resurrect the compelling nature of higher education along with its several implications for public policy and planning, while providing a broad portrayal of global developments, comparative perspectives and key lessons. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of education, political science, public policy and administration, governance, development studies, economics, and those working in the higher education sectors, think-tanks, policymakers as well as NGOs.

Engaging students in community change has far-reaching benefits that not only support but also extend beyond academic achievement. Students who participate in such efforts become better connected to their schools and communities while learning and practicing the principles of democratic citizenship. Students with a high degree of school connectedness are less likely to make risky choices. In 1998, ASCD and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation joined together to support school-community partnerships that used public health as a focus for student learning and community involvement. This book describes the lessons learned from the projects and provides insight into how schools and community public health agencies can work together to improve student achievement, behavior, and health. Using examples from diverse communities, the author discusses the intersections between education and public health, keys to successful projects, and ways to connect to the curriculum.
