An alternative secondary school, it emphasizes the development of self-knowledge and responsiveness to others, creative and critical thought, and connectedness through the self, the school community, and society. \u003ci\u003eNarratives in the Making\u003c\/i\u003e is based on a research project carried out at the school as part of a large scale national research study, The Exemplary Schools Project. Corktown (a pseudonym) was selected as a participant in this study because of its unusually high rate of student retention, student engagement, achievement, and success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing narrative accounts of classroom and school practices, profiles of teachers and students, and language that is accessible to both practitioners and academics, Mary Beattie provides insights and explanations of the meaning of success as it is understood by Corktown teachers, students, parents, alumni, and school administrators. She shows how the whole person concept is incorporated into the school environment, and why relationships are at the heart of teaching and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Beattie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802085334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802085337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.90w x 0.56d","brand":"Mary Beattie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453392335103,"sku":"9780802085337","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a86d90c-cf78-4dab-8733-cc9aa608ec23.jpg?v=1777300004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narratives-in-the-making-mary-beattie-9780802085337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
