Moving from past selves shaped by adversity to hoped-for possible selves
Flexible learning options (FLOs) that provide access to secondary education for marginalised students tend to sit on the margins of education systems, resulting in pressure to account for their outcomes. This paper employs a conceptual framework based on possible selves theory applied to interview data with students and staff from eight Australian FLOs. Students’ past selves were strongly shaped by adversity in their social environments and in th…

Whole school change for literacy teaching and learning
School improvement has become a goal in many education systems globally, with the mantra of ‘whole school change’ adopted as key to achieving that goal. However, whole school change is complex and interpreted variously. In Australia, a case in point is the drive to lift literacy outcomes. Drawing on qualitative data from a study of literacy teaching practice in one Australian state, this article aims to unravel the multiple meanings and enactment…
School data walls
Educators, parents, and policymakers agree on the need to assess children’s learning to inform literacy teaching practices but are often divided about how best to gauge literacy development. In ensuing debates, school data walls have become pedagogically and spatially contested sites. We think of data walls as -scapes and scopic regimes that have sociomaterial force and that coalesce as complex assemblages worth interrogating. On that basis, our …
A trialectical approach to understanding ‘classroom readiness’ for teaching literacy
Initial teacher education is subject to substantial scrutiny and, fuelled by concerns about teacher ‘quality,’ its ‘effectiveness’ is frequently called into question, not least in relation to ideas about ‘classroom readiness.’ Mandated by policymakers, assessed by teacher educators, and struggled with by novice teachers, classroom readiness is experienced and understood in different ways. Our three-year qualitative research project on literacy te…

Making sense of school learning environments as infrastructures of care and spatial typologies
The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership was established in 2010 to support teaching quality and leadership in schools and initial teacher education programs. Early on it produced seven Australian Professional Standards for Teachers affecting professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional engagement. Standard 4 is part of professional practice and requires teachers to create and maintain supportive and safe sch…
A framework for developing and supporting student leadership in higher education
Developing leadership in students is part of the remit of higher education institutions. In recent decades, student leadership development programs have proliferated at universities worldwide. However, the contested understanding of the term ‘leadership’ has resulted in lack of clarity regarding how this may be ‘developed’ in higher education. There are many programs that contribute towards developing leadership in students and not all of them do…
Enacting Entangled Practice
Interagency collaboration in domestic and family violence (DFV) work is generally assumed to be good practice. This article questions this assumption, suggesting caution in adopting an uncritical pro-collaboration stance, arguing the need to trace the effects of working together on victims/survivors. Employing an innovative sociomaterial approach, this ethnographic study of interagency practice unravels its complexity, showing that not all ways o…

The Zoroastrian Flame
For many centuries, from the birth of the religion late in the second millennium BC to its influence on the Achaemenids and later adoption in the third century AD as the state religion of the Sasanian Empire, it enjoyed imperial patronage and profoundly shaped the culture of antiquity. The Magi of the New Testament most probably were Zoroastrian priests from the Iranian world, while the enigmatic figure of Zarathushtra (or Zoroaster) himself has …

The Everlasting Flame
With such ancient beginnings, Zoroastrianism is as remarkably enduring as it is venerable. The principle religion of Iran until the Advent of Islam, it has also been influential beyond its own followers, interacting with other, younger faiths and shaping their views on the nature of evil, the coming of a saviour and the last days. The resonant message of Zarathustra (or Zoroaster), the founder of the religion, is encapsulated in its most sacred s…

On the Muve or in decline
Pressures in terms of the availability of quality, real-life clinical experiences for students have resulted in increased interest in the use of simulation in a variety of healthcare disciplines. Te wahi whanau: The birth place is a Virtual Birth Centre (VBC) that was created in Second Life in 2009 as part of the Second Life Education in New Zealand (SLENZ) initiative. It was introduced to midwifery students at two New Zealand polytechnics, with …

Early Islamic Iran
"How did Iran remain distinctively Iranian in the centuries which followed the Arab Conquest? How did it retain its cultural distinctiveness after the displacement of Zoroastrianism - state religion of the Persian empire - by Islam? This latest volume in "The Idea of Iran" series traces that critical moment in Iranian history which followed the transformation of ancient traditions during the country's conversion and initial Islamic period. Distin…

The Politics of Zoroastrian Philanthropy and the Case of Qasr-e Firuzeh
In Iran and India religious philanthropy has been a feature of Zoroastrian piety as well as providing the means by which both communities have prospered throughout their respective histories. In Iran an elaborate structure for the regulation of charitable donations was already in place during the Sasanian period and laid the foundation for the laws governing pious foundations, awqāf , after the Islamic conquest. The increased interaction between …

The Sasanian Era
This latest volume in “The Idea of Iran” series concentrates on the Sasanian period. Seizing power from the previous dynasty - the Parthians - the Sasanians ruled Iran and most of the ancient Near East from 224 until 642 CE. They are particularly fascinating because of their adherence to Zoroastrianism, an ancient dualistic Iranian religion named after the prophet Zarathustra (or, in Greek, Zoroaster). The Sasanians expressed the divine aspect of…
Worship According to the Yašts
The Yašts, the earliest of which pre-date the prophet Zarathushtra's reform, are essentially oral texts that describe the worship and propitiation of the deities of the Indo-lranian and Iranian pantheons. While scholars of Zoroastrianism have studied this corpus in detail in order to establish its linguistic provenance and its role within the Zoroastrian canon, the nature of the sacrificial worship described in these hymns has largely been ignore…
The Age of the Parthians
The Parthians are a fascinating but little-known ancient civilization. In the mid-third century bce a bold and ambitious leader called Arshak challenged Hellenic rule and led his armies to victory. The dynasty which he founded ruled over what became a mighty empire and restored the glory of Iran following the region’s conquest by Alexander the Great. This imperial eastern superpower, which lasted for 400 years and stretched from the Hindu Kush to…
Birth of the Persian Empire
Of the great ancient civilizations, that of Persia is the least known and the most enigmatic. This book explores the formation of the first Persian Empire under the Achaemenid Persians. It brings together a multi-disciplinary view of ancient Iran in the first millennium BC and concentrates on the art, archaeology, history and religion of a geographical area far beyond the present borders of modern Iran in the period beginning just before the form…

Simon de Montfort and his Followers, June 1263
In the early Spring of 1263, it might have seemed that Henry III had defeated the aspirations of the reforming barons and that the rebellion was over. However, the return of Simon de Montfort to England in April 1263 proved to be the first step which led to royal defeat at Lewes in May 1264. Details of who among the barons supported de Montfort on his return are somewhat ambiguous and shadowy. An entry in a Forest Eyre roll of 1269 throws light o…
