The first three chapters explore “The Heart of Education” (p. 32), “Creating a Culture of Inquiry” (p. 52), and “Rethinking Professional Learning” (p. 72), asking pedagogical leaders to reconsider their purpose through explorations of taken-for-granted terms and responsibilities in ECE, such as what it means to be reflective versus reactive in pedagogical practice. keywords: carter; childhood; pelo; practice; thinking cache: jcs-19060.pdf plain text: jcs-19060.txt item: #114 of 222 id: jcs-19061 author: Sorvari, Marja title: New Research on Discourses of Childhood date: 2019-07-05 words: 2442 flesch: 51 summary: Part VI “The Evil and Victimized Child” discusses child figures who transgress boundaries of normality and how they were perceived by their contemporaries.

Such understandings of how race and gender intersect with water practices lend further points of contention to how we engage with water discourses, practices, and uses globally, suggesting that attention should be paid to more-than-human possibilities for thinking alongside water and considering the racial and gendered politics that drown out other possibilities. keywords: bodies; childhood; children; education; human; neimanis; practices; rain; thinking; water; ways; weather; world cache: jcs-19173.pdf plain text: jcs-19173.txt item: #120 of 222 id: jcs-19174 author: Sheppard, Lindsay C.; Raby, Rebecca; Lehmann, Wolfgang; Easterbrook, Riley title: Grill Guys and Drive-Thru Girls: Discourses of Gender in Young People’s Part-Time Work date: 2019-09-19 words: 8741 flesch: 57 summary: Diversions from gender-typical work Although most of the young workers in our study engaged in gender-typical work, some spoke of experiences with gender nontypical work, or imagined what it would be like.

Finally, I will discuss three problematic connotations associated with the model minority stereotype, including foreign competitors and antisocial nerds, undesirable immigrants, and weak and obedient targets of bullying, all of which are evidenced in a recent example from Canadian media (“Too Asian?”, Findlay & Köhler, 2010) and in my own interview data with Chinese students. keywords: asian; bourdieu; chinese; habitus; minority; model; model minority; racialized; research; school; social; stereotype; students; studies cache: jcs-19175.pdf plain text: jcs-19175.txt item: #122 of 222 id: jcs-19176 author: Fitzsimmons Frey, Heather title: “A Place Where It Was Acceptable To Be Unacceptable”: Twenty-First-Century Girls Encounter Nineteenth-Century Girls Through Amateur Theatricals and Dance date: 2019-09-19 words: 12357 flesch: 58 summary: For each vignette I describe the pivotal research questions, and then I focus on moments when girl participants radically influenced my process, analysis, and understanding, not only of 19th-century amateur theatre practices, but of the way this methodology engages with girls today.

Sue: Everyday moments of teaching need to refer to the continued presence of Indigenous people in the here and now, not as a past that is lost and extinguished or existing in another place where Aboriginality is “more” authentic.

In making our selections, we recognized the abundance of intergenerational picturebooks focused on relationships between grandparents and grandchildren (see Scheffel, 2015) but also those that recognize multifaceted elder roles (caring, wise, useful) that Doiron and Lees (2009) observed with senior volunteers in schools. keywords: children; elders; learners; making; meaning; opportunities; picturebook; practices; world cache: jcs-19339.pdf plain text: jcs-19339.txt item: #147 of 222 id: jcs-19340 author: Gleeson, Judy title: Planting Seeds: Fostering Preschool Children’s Interactions with Nature and Enhancing Intergenerational Relationships in a Campus Community Garden date: 2019-12-22 words: 2455 flesch: 50 summary: Children and nature Children need nature.

The “historical disadvantage and trauma” (Bezanson, 2018, p. 156) caused by residential school, and more current colonial practices, has meant that Indigenous children continue to experience significant inequities (Ball, 2012; TRC, 2015b) which are cumulative, persistent, and complex. keywords: child; childhood; children; community; cree; education; elders; helen; journal; knowledge; margaret; mother; plains; relationships; research; teachings cache: jcs-19909.pdf plain text: jcs-19909.txt item: #174 of 222 id: jcs-19910 author: Makansi, Nora; Carnevale, Franco title: Researching the Moral Experiences of Young Children: A Pilot Study date: 2020-10-20 words: 8119 flesch: 60 summary: Moral classrooms, moral children: Creating a constructivist atmosphere in early education (Vol. 47).

Additionally, it is important to remember in reading the Mi’kmaw mythopoetic tradition as SF that many settler readers of traditional Indigenous stories render them fantastical, when for many Indigenous people they are a true reflection of reality (Coleman, 2016; Deloria, 1994; Justice, 2018). keywords: childhood; children; education; future; journal; land; literature; mi’kmaw; place; press; research; stories; studies; texts; thomas; university cache: jcs-19949.pdf plain text: jcs-19949.txt item: #182 of 222 id: jcs-19951 author: Richardson, Brooke; Powell, Alana; Langford, Rachel title: Critiquing Ontario’s Childcare Policy Responses to the Inextricably Connected Needs of Mothers, Children, and Early Childhood Educators date: 2021-10-25 words: 7517 flesch: 38 summary: From child care market to child care system.

The government also announced the following Monday that subsidized childcare centres, both CPEs and garderies, as well as emergency school childcare services, were to remain open for children of healthcare and essential services workers. keywords: centres; childcare; children; covid-19; education; family; government; health; pandemic; parents; policy; quebec; reopening; research; schools; services cache: jcs-20002.pdf plain text: jcs-20002.txt item: #191 of 222 id: jcs-20026 author: Hudson, Marie-Anne; Huston, Lori title: We Are All In This Together: Supporting Hearts and Minds During Unprecedented Times date: 2021-10-25 words: 6011 flesch: 45 summary: While we were aware prior to COVID-19 that early learning and child care in Canada was in a fragile state—due in large part to a lack of a national framework or universal access—we became increasingly concerned about how those directly working and interacting with children were managing during the pandemic. And, as the government of Canada moves forward with a national early learning and child care plan that is promised to be a community-based system of quality care (Government of Canada, 2021a), we will continue our advocacy work to remind the policy designers that “universal” is not to be interpreted as “one size fits all” but rather the plan must meet the needs of diverse communities so that high-quality, affordable, inclusive early learning and child care is provided no matter where one lives in Canada. keywords: canada; care; childhood; children; covid-19; educators; learning; pandemic; research; sel; social; support; tip; trauma cache: jcs-20026.pdf plain text: jcs-20026.txt item: #192 of 222 id: jcs-20030 author: Friendly, Martha; Forer, Barry; Vickerson, Rachel ; Mohamed, Sophia S. title: COVID-19 and Childcare in Canada: A Tale of Ten Provinces and Three Territories date: 2021-10-25 words: 6430 flesch: 51 summary: No Yes Were childcare centres closed for regular use?

For example, ECEC touted as a redemptive service to the economic woes brought on by COVID-19 (Government of Canada, 2021) bumps up against assertions by scholars such as those in the Early Childhood Pedagogies Collaboratory (2020) that early childhood education is a pedagogical project with potential for social change. keywords: childhood; covid-19; early; education; educators; fermentation; instructors; practices; relationships; students cache: jcs-20047.pdf plain text: jcs-20047.txt item: #194 of 222 id: jcs-20105 author: Bendo, Daniella; Hepburn, Taryn; Spencer, Dale title: Compensating for Stigma: Representations of Hard to Adopt Children in the "Today’s Child" date: 2021-12-21 words: 8860 flesch: 50 summary: Given the current gap in the literature regarding the use of advertisements to sell traits of adoptive children to prospective parents, this study contributes to the field of child adoption, child welfare, and child and youth studies more broadly.

It requires a dogged persistence that moves the gaze away from the child towards spaces, places, and objects that intuitively surround, play, tussle with, and pull our very idea of “child.” More specifically, Kraftl, borrowing directly from Affrica Taylor and her criticisms of the humanist “man-to- the-rescue” script that seeks to save the world within the Anthropocene, is encouraging childhood scholars to look at “the how of children’s world-making with more-than-human others” and ways it can “contribute to the collective task of refiguring our place in an anthropogenically-damaged world without recourse to the conceits of the Anthropos” (Taylor, 2019, as cited in Kraftl, 2020, p. 44, emphasis in original). keywords: anthropocene; childhood; human; kraftl; scholars; studies cache: jcs-21253.pdf plain text: jcs-21253.txt
