Making Workers - Radical Geographies of Education

Summary

As globalisation transforms the organisation of society, so too is its impact felt in the classroom. Katharyne Mitchell argues that schools are spaces in which neoliberal practices are brought to bear on the lives of children. Education’s narratives, actors and institutions play a pivotal role in the social and political formation of youth as workers in a capitalist economy.

Mitchell looks at the formation of student identity and allegiance –as well as spaces of resistance. She investigates the transition to educational narratives emphasising flexibility and strategic global entrepreneurialism and examines the role of education in a broader political project of producing new generations of economically insecure but compliant workers.

Scrutinising the impact of an influx of new actors, practices and policies, Mitchell argues that public education is the latest institution to embrace the neoliberal logic of 'choice' – pertaining to schools, faculty, and curricula – that, if unchallenged, will lead to further incursions of the market and increased socioeconomic inequality.

    The world order is changing, incrementally but remorselessly, as wealth and power move beyond the industrialised West to the emerging economies in Asia and Latin America. As a Foreign Office Minister, Jeremy Browne witnessed this global revolution at first hand. Having seen for himself the extraordinary scale and pace of economic development in China, India and elsewhere, Browne's message is stark: the race to secure a favourable position in the new world order would be hard enough in the best of times. Yet Britain must now begin that race in the worst of times, after the deepest recession in living memory, still weighed down by high levels of borrowing and debt. Despite this, Browne remains an optimist. Britain can succeed in the global race, he argues, but we need a race plan. This is it.

    Este es un combo de 2 libros, que tiene los siguientes títulos: 
      
      
    Libro 1: ¿Estás nervioso por tu entrevista de trabajo? 
      
    ¿Tiene la sensación de que no está preparado para afrontar una cantidad invasiva de preguntas sobre sus logros y elecciones profesionales? 
      
    Bueno, no tengas miedo, amigo. Estás en la dirección correcta. Este libro puede guiarlo. Los temas que se discutirán en este libro incluyen cómo causar una primera impresión duradera, hacer preguntas específicas sobre su motivación, cómo vestirse, qué llevar, cómo reaccionar por teléfono (si corresponde), cómo mostrarle a su entrevistador que usted están escuchando e interactuando, etc. 
      
      
      
      
    Libro 2: Cuando se trata de entrevistas de trabajo, te sorprendería la cantidad de personas que no tienen ni idea de qué hacer. Piensan que si actúan como ellos mismos (no hay nada de malo en ello), todo lo demás simplemente sucederá. 
      
    Así no es cómo funciona. Las personas que están más preparadas suelen tener la mayor posibilidad de causar una buena impresión en el entrevistador. Aparte de preguntas como “cuénteme sobre usted” o “cómo se describiría a sí mismo”, buscarán empleados competentes que sepan cómo vender sus habilidades con confianza. Quieren conocer sus debilidades y si esas debilidades crearán algún problema en su empresa. 
      
    Entonces, ¿cómo te irá en tu próxima entrevista de trabajo? 
      
    Bueno, es tu desición. Pero la información correcta, como los detalles que puede encontrar en esta guía, ciertamente puede ayudar.

    Do you have a clear vision for your life? Do you have a five-year plan? Or, does it feel like you’re just drifting through life?  
    The truth is that most of us are just wishing that something good will happen to us. 
    Forget all the overhyped, positive thinking, and visualization stuff. The key to getting what you want from life is to set clear, realistic, and measurable goals. 
    However, goal-setting alone is not enough.  
    Nice idea yeah, but many give up or work so hard without getting anywhere. The reality is that there is a science to the goal achievement process and it’s not what you would think. Instead of some half-baked New Year’s resolutions, the blueprint inside this book focuses on the process of actually achieving goals - from how to set goals in the first place to avoiding common roadblocks and easily navigating your journey to success. 
    In this audiobook, you will discover:The key to setting goals and achieving them Scientifically proven ways to align your environment with your goalsWays to easily develop habits that lead to huge resultsWarren Buffett's five-step success rule Why failure is necessary and how to embrace itHow Taylor Swift Achieved global success through mentors (without ever meeting them)The simple goal system used by Google, Walmart, Spotify, Twitter, and moreHow a beekeeper became the first person to climb Mount EverestApplying behavioral psychology to set goals you’ll actually stick toAnd much, much more... 
    Let’s be honest. If you want success, you need to set goals and take action. Are you willing to do whatever it takes? 
    So, if you're ready to turn your dreams into reality, then listen to this book.
