Disciplina con amor en el aula Tocando el corazón de tus alumnos. Guía para maestros Rosa Barocio

What happened to students who used to respect and admire their teachers? What does it mean to be a good teacher? Do they come prepared every day? Are they popular with the students? Being a good teacher has never been easy, but in this day and age, teaching has become an even greater challenge. Anyone can stand in front of a group of students and call themselves a teacher, but only a handful merit the name. To be a teacher in its entirety is a privilege that you earn through assisting your students' growth while helping them apply themselves. Our society urges teachers to be flexible, open, and interested in a world with rapidly changing technology and how it is applied in the classroom. Rosa Barocio, with practical advice and a sense of humor, dedicates this book to teachers invested in revamping their teaching styles and not settling to be a great teacher, but an extraordinary one. They understand the responsibility they hold and that since their students look up to them, it's their job to inspire them.

La urdimbre sexista Violencia de género en la escuela primaria Emilia Moreno Sánchez

Featuring the experiences of several girls who have been the victims of abuse and violence, this exploration argues that in the face of what is a growing and serious social problem, it's necessary to change from a model in which power relations and hierarchies are prioritized toward one that emphasizes dialogue, liberty, and mutual respect in the economic, cultural, and educational spheres. The research backing this study was spurred by the belief that the seeds of gender inequality and violence are planted early on in child development and the conviction that these can be combated at that level as well. The guidelines and tools for action provided in the book are as useful for educators as they are for families, who will be able to recognize and work against violence against their daughters.

Emilia Moreno Sánchez is a professor in the department of education at the University of Huelva, Spain. Her primary areas of research are reading habits, gender and education, and health education.

Un niño afortunado (4th Edition) De prisonero en Auschwitz a juez de la Corte Internacional Thomas Buergenthal

Thomas Buergenthal's life has been a difficult journey from the moment he was born to his German Jewish parents in 1934, until he became a judge on the World Court in 2000. Between those two dates, he survived Nazi camps, became educated in the United States, and dedicated his life's work to international law and the defense of human rights. This is a work of exceptional humanity, lucidity, tenderness, and tolerance, and his reflections on the circumstances that made possible his survival are of an extraordinary human quality.

La vida de Thomas Buergenthal ha sido un duro camino desde que nació en 1934 de padres judíos alemanes, hasta convertirse en juez de la Corte Internacional de Justicia en el año 2000. Entre estas dos fechas, sobrevivió a los campos nazis, se educó en los Estados Unidos y se dedicó al derecho internacional y a la defensa de los derechos humanos. Ésta es una obra de una humanidad, lucidez, ternura y tolerancia excepcionales, y sus reflexiones sobre las circunstancias que permitieron su supervivencia son de una calidad humana extraordinaria.

Summary

Gracias, Finlandia Qué podemos aprender del sistema educativo de más éxito Xavier Melgarejo

Schools are in crisis. The Spanish education system is in the eye of the storm in terms of political struggles and public discussion. Without consecutive attempts at educational reform, Spain has barely avoided school failure yet improved the results of PISA reports on Spanish students. At the other end of the spectrum is Finland, where students stand out as leaders in reading comprehension, math, and science. How does one achieve those results? What differences in the educational system in Finland account for their success? Is education in Spain that poor in comparison? The author, psychologist, educator, and expert on Finland's educational system, responds to these questions and many others in this book. He focuses on the root of the problem to reveal a plan and keys to success, as well as suggesting the route Spain should take within their own educational system and what citizens can do to help schools acheive excellence.

Summary

Xavier Melgarejo holds a degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a postgraduate degree in transactional analysis and management from the Teaching Institution. He received his doctorate in teaching from the Universitat Ramon Llull, with his thesis on the education system in Finland. He is the coauthor of Ante la adversidad: amor y libertad.

La sustancia de la voz Manual práctico de voz hablada para locutores, oradores y actores de doblaje José Antonio Meca, Eva Gutiérrez (EvaLí)

Our distinct voices are the result of an authentically monumental process, a miraculous part of nature that makes us unique. To know your own voice is a form of understanding yourself. Actors, singers, public speakers-they know that their voices result from constant learning but also from emotions, feelings, doubts, fears, and pleasures. Each one of our words is tinged with feeling. The voice is communication, particularly self-communication. To manage it with solvency is less a virtue or innate ability than a matter of persistence and patience. This guide to developing the full expanse of your voice helps you improve communication with useful tools and practical exercises.
