WHO - Follow the Money

Catherine Dumont

Sinossi

The funding of the World Health Organization, as it works nowadays, is made up of more than 80% of voluntary contributions destined for specific programs. These contributions not only come from United Nations member countries, as was the case originally, but also from foundations, agencies, individuals or companies —including pharmaceuticals—, which then have the power to decide on the proposed initiatives. In other words, these are contributions whose destination is directed by the donor, and the WHO cannot use these funds according to its needs or criteria. It seems practically impossible for a multilateral organization to manage to maintain the independence needed by a reality like the current one regarding the latest pandemic.

Love Tutoring - Be the tutor...

Julia Silver

Written by former school-leader Julia Silver, Love Tutoring: Be the tutor your student needs is an essential guide to professional development for all tutors. Based on her Foundations of Effective Tutoring course, Julia shares an enthusiastic and enabling vision of tutoring as a burgeoning space within the educational landscape.
At a time when teacher retention and pupil attendance are at an all-time low, tutoring provides a gentler, more person-centred and holistic approach to teaching and learning. Once considered a Plan B option, tutoring is fast becoming a legitimate career choice.
The rollout of the UK government's National Tutoring Programme has brought tutoring into the spotlight. Previously considered 'shadow-schooling' over the last decade, a quarter of all 11-16-year-olds have received private tuition in England and Wales (rising to 42% in London). But for tutoring to take its place in the future of education, and become an affordable option for all our students, we need more, and better qualified tutors.
Combining theory and practice, this book provides tutors with a solid grounding in the pedagogy of tutoring. Julia takes the big ideas from evidence-based practice in teaching and learning today and makes them relevant and accessible to the ways tutors work.
Backed up by real-life examples and interviews with professional tutors, this book offers a broad insight into the tutoring profession and explores the different ways to make tutoring a career that you love. Love Tutoring is an invitation, a provocation, and a call to action. This book goes right to the heart of the tutoring relationship and will give every tutor a roadmap for becoming the tutor their student needs.
Suitable for tutors of all ages, subjects and levels of expertise, as well as interested parents, agencies, schools or other organisations who employ tutors.

You're One of Us! - Systemic...

Marianne Franke-Gricksch

In this gripping account of her work, Marianne Franke-Gricksch speaks from her experience as a teacher and therapist, describing how systemic ideas enable fundamentally new and effective learning and encourage creative cooperation between students, teachers, and parents. Rather than viewing the participants in this process as isolated individuals, she shows how people and their environment constantly influence and change each other. Franke-Gricksch's own systemic view connects Bert Hellinger's work on the power of one's bond with his or her family of origin with various other approaches within systemic theory. The author's reports are consistently supported by practical examples from the everyday classroom situation. Especially fascinating is the children's enthusiasm and array of ideas that they use to pick up and transfer the new impulses and procedures. Readers who are new to these methods will also be amazed at the powerful effect that is released by systemic thinking and action.
