| Handle with Care, Richard
Bromfield. |
| In this work Richard Bromfield peels
away layer after layer of preconceptions about how children
think and what they want, and what secrets they carry with them
to the classroom. Handle with Care is about learning to listen
with scrupulous care, so that we can reach the children who
inevitably reach for us. |
| Richard Bromsfield's book is a moving
and sensitive account of the inner world of teachers and children
in schools and the vital connection between them. |

| The Disciplined Mind, Howard
Gardner. |
| In this work, published in 1999, Howard
Gardner identifies three realms that concern education: that
of truth, that of beauty and that of morality. |
| He writes "Deep understanding should
be our central goal; we should strive to inculcate understanding
of what, within a cultural context, is considered true or false,
beautiful or unpalatable, good or evil". |
| Gardner gives examples of what he considers
successful educational institutions and of topics which lend
themselves particularly well to the kind of rigorous examination
he proposes. |

of kids. In this question-and-answer book he helps parents understand
and cope with issues of modern teenage life: structure, trust
and freedom, expectations, consequences, communication, friends,
alcohol and drugs, romance and sexuality, divorce |
