| nvq administration course: Strategies for Sustainable Mobilities Friederike Hülsmann, 2016-04-01 Sustainable mobility is a qualitative, vague and normative vision. Although this vagueness is often criticized and seen as a drawback it also allows diverse stakeholders to commit to the goal of sustainable mobility. It allows for consensus, which can also help achieve a transport system that enables mobility for current and future generations. The goal of sustainable mobility is an ambitious one and requires a long-term and process-oriented perspective. With this in mind, this volume examines sustainable mobilities from multiple angles varying by time, region, cultural and economic backgrounds, local stakeholders and governance structures. By achieving a better understanding of mobility behaviour and mobility needs in different contexts this book develops innovative strategies and advances modelling approaches which evaluate these strategies. Presented here is not an ideal package of strategies to achieve sustainable mobility but rather innovations in the different disciplines and fields to show how each of them can contribute to keeping all people mobile - today and in the future. |

| nvq administration course: Gendered Choices Sue Jackson, Irene Malcolm, Kate Thomas, 2011-03-02 This important book breaks new ground in addressing issues of gendered learning in different contexts across the (adult) life span at the start of the 21st century. Adult learning sits within a shifting landscape of educational policy, profoundly influenced by the skills agenda, by complex funding policies, new qualifications and the widening/narrowing participation debate. The book is unique in highlighting the centrality of gendered choices to these developments which shape participation in and experiences of lifelong learning. Gendered Choices critically examines the continued expansion of a skills-based approach in areas of lifelong learning, including career decisions, professional identities and informal networks. It explores key intersections of adult learning from a gender perspective: notably participation, workplace learning and informal pathways. Drawing on research from a range of contexts, Gendered Choices demonstrates that for women the public/private spaces of work and home are often conflated, although the gendering of ‘choice’ has largely been ignored by policy makers. The themes of the book bring together some of these critical issues, explored through the multiple and fractured identities which constitute gendered lives. The book addresses these in an international context, with contributions from Canada, Spain and Iran that provide a wider international perspective on shared issues. |
| nvq administration course: Mixed Up Maxie being me! 2nd Revision july Maxine Ann Bailey, 2016-07-11 Mixed up Maxi being me! This book is about me being deaf and daft and how I coped growing up and living with deafness. I put pen to paper and started to write Mixed up Maxi because, for far too long deaf people have not been given a fair hearing, literally and figuratively speaking. It all came to a head after the soap opera; EastEnders created the character Ben Mitchell, who is the deaf son, of Phil Mitchell. Ben doesn't display a single aspect of deafness. I don't know if the actor is actually deaf or if EastEnders just portrayed Ben as deaf and I use the word portrayed very lightly. Since Ben arrived in EastEnders with his National Health, blue hearing aid, not once have I heard* him say pardon?, what did you say? or come again? it gives the impression that hearing aids cure deafness and this is far from true. |

| nvq administration course: Improving Learning Cultures in Further Education David James, Gert Biesta, 2007-09-17 Through its unique theoretical framework - a cultural understanding of teaching and learning – this book develops a new way of understanding educational improvement, one which focuses on the formation and transformation of the practices through which students learn. Based on detailed ethnographic research of seventeen learning sites in further education colleges, this book generates a unique insight into a wide variety of practices of teaching and learning. Illustrated by case studies, it is structured around three key questions: what do learning cultures in FE look like and how do they transform over time? how do learning cultures transform people? how can people (tutors, managers, policy makers, but also students) transform learning cultures for the better? Through a combination of theory and analysis, Improving Learning Cultures in Further Education makes a strong case for the importance of a cultural approach to the improvement of teaching and learning in further education, and provides practical guidance for researchers, policymakers and practitioners for implementing change for the better. |
