The Early Career of John L. Riddell as a Science Lecturer in the 19th Century
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State UniversityJohn Leonard Riddell (1807-1865), trained in science, especially botany and geology, by Amos Eaton at the Rensselaer School at Troy, New York, became a professional itinerant science lecturer. He began in Ogdensburg, New York, then in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with lectures on chemistry and physics. From 1832 to 1836 he concentrated his efforts in Ohio, focusing his lectures on botany, particularly medical botany, chemistry, geology, and electricity. He continued his botanical studies, including the collection of plant specimens, and studied medicine, obtaining an M.D. degree from Daniel Drake's School, the Medical Department of the Cincinnati College. After departing Ohio to teach chemistry at the Medical College of Louisiana in New Orleans, he published and lectured on science fiction based on fancied documentation from a presumed former student, Orrin Lindsay, at Cincinnati. Riddell was an early 19th century science lecturer, field botanist, and author of science fiction
Educationalist working in urban areas
No full textThis submission provides a commentary on thirteen of Richard Riddell’s publications between 1999 and 2010. It explains the professional and policy contexts from the early 1990s onwards, when the author was a senior Local Authority officer, which gave rise to the thinking behind the first phase of his publications. These included the development of a bespoke school improvement process, deeply rooted in the context of the communities served by a school, and involving the development of an urban pedagogy and curricula. The centre piece of this phase was Schools for Our Cities (Riddell, 2003b). Attention then moved for phase 2 of the publications towards the social processes outside school that advantage middle class children within it. Research for this phase identified a managed model of social reproduction being operated by middle class families with children at independent schools, and an independent school/prestigious university nexus. Policy interventions of the 2000s might have begun to create analogous kinds of social processes for working class children, but they are no longer in place. The central piece for phase 2 was Aspiration, Identity and Self-Belief (Riddell, 2010)
Equity, trust and the self-improving schools system
No full textRichard Riddell draws on his interviews with senior managers in schools, academy chains and the regions during the UK Coalition Government to analyse the changes in education policy during its term. He argues that the developing regional organization for supervising schools in England, with its regional commissioners, provides a far more consistent context for reducing longstanding disparities in pupil attainment than the declining local authority systems it replaces. However, the insecurity of headteachers – even those who are well-placed – and the pressures on them in the current arrangements cannot be allowed to continue. The book advocates a two-stage process to achieve long-term school partnerships based on trust, so that inequity in schooling is effectively addressed

Resolving disputes about educational provision: A comparative perspective on special educational needs
No full textWith contributions by recognised experts in the field of education law, this book is a comparative study of the resolution of special education disputes, including via mediation. It analyses the varying approaches in England, Scotland, the US and the Netherlands and addresses major questions of dispute resolution, redress, judicial and non-judicial approaches and the protection of citizens' rights. The first review of mediation in citizen v. state disputes outside the context of the courts, this topical book also incorporates findings from a recent ESRC study into dispute resolution in special educational needs cases. It will not only be of interest to those concerned with education issues but also those interested in administrative justice, especially the role of mediation generally. © Neville Harris and Sheila Riddell 2011.
